Remedies for diaper rash
The most effective remedy for diaper rash is to let the baby be naked for at least 20 minutes in between diaper changes. This will allow the skin in the pelvic area to breathe easily and freely and also help in drying it out considerably. This will automatically heal the baby.
However, if that is not possible, try applying coconut oil or olive oil in between diaper changes. This will form a layer between the skin of the baby and moisture in the diaper, thereby keeping the skin shielded from being wet at all times. At every diaper change, wipe the baby's bottom and pelvic area with a wet wipe and apply oil or even baby cream.
Then dust with powder, and brush off any excess powder. This will also help in keeping the baby safe, dry and healthy.
Milk of magnesia is considered an old remedy for diaper rash. You can apply it generously to the baby's bottom and let it dry. Apply a bit of powder and dust off excess. Then make the baby wear a diaper. This should also be effective in preventing diaper rash. The idea behind keeping diaper rash away is keeping the baby dry at all times. One of the most effective ways to ensure this is to find an hour when you can leave the child without a diaper. This will be of maximum help with the problem.
