Diaper Rash is the culprit that irritates the baby very much. Generally, it appears onto the bottom of baby because of wearing a diaper to baby for a long span of time. Parents are worried about it. However, treatment is very necessary for quick relief from it and of course as parents; you will take necessary action from the first sight of the rashes so that you can ensure quick remedy and better feeling of your baby.

Following may some essential tips that work fine for removing and treating the diaper rash effectively;

• Keep the baby’s sophisticated skin dry
• Detach the skin from urine and feces and baby’s skin will remain dry that gives an effective result
• Change the diaper frequently; you can check it out for every 2 or 3 hours
• Checking the diaper every two hours will be good practice
• Use a comfortable and quick absorber diaper
• It is not wise to wear a plastic pant to cover the diaper
• You can use a cotton pant if you want to cover the diaper
• Use soft kind of liquid soap for cleansing the baby’s bottom

Try Neem Oil, its amazing, super effective, and fast working. I use Neem oil for diaper rash, cuts (after they scab over), burns (again, after they scab over), really any sort of skin boo boo. Just a tiny dot, like a pin prick size dot, goes a long way. Careful though, its pretty stinky! It will clear a rash by the end of the day if you keep re-applying each diaper change.

Breastfed babies rarely have a problem with diaper rash, at least that is my experience.

Babies I cared for who had diaper rash were given cod liver oil with their parents' permission and they recovered very well. I would put A&D creme or petroleum jelly with coconut oil on the afflicted areas also.

So help a child with diaper rash heal, inside and out.
