Diaper Rash -- Pediatrician Tips to Prevent & Treat Common Diaper Rashes

[@sirivarsha4498]

Hi, can you do a video on baby’s flat head, how to prevent, treat and when to worry

[@IdolEyes84]

Yes! They say a firm, thin mattress is safe, yet babies can get a flat head from them.

[@mariaannhayes3257]

Yes I second this! Soon to be momma here worried about this and hip dysplasia!

Agree, it would be helpful to get your perspectives 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@airplanelife9839]

same situation here, no matter where I put him, his head is getting flattened

[@alohilanizapata53]

The biggest cause of flat head is from not starting tummy time right away- parents usually wait til their baby is 3+months, and that's too late.

[@nicoles-m9500]

Your baby is so cute 😍. My littlest girl is about the same age. As a prior CNA, RN, and mom times 3 I reall appreciate your tips!

[@yohlanduh]

In addition to waving a clean diaper at baby's bottom to air dry skin, another trick is to use a blow dryer at the lowest and quietest setting. Our babies loved it for the air and the white noise. We also prefer it to letting our babies be diaper free around the house and urinating everywhere.

[@brenstewart2675]

The best thing is to keep the posion diapers off our babies. It's not a rash if they are changed properly, it's looks like a chemical burn the skin peels it's horrible took me 30 years to realize what was causing it, it took my granddaughter and a certain brand of diapers that was making this burn rash on her. 😢

[@gabrielavelasquez746]

Would you mind sharing what wipes and brand of diapers you use please? Thanks

[@kristina282k]

What we found key, is always to put a thick layer of Zinc cream\ ointment in those inguinal folds and between buns where the moist gets out difficult and difficult to air too. Oh and those pee accidents 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ it’s like they are waiting for the diaper to come off to do it on purpose 😂😂

Just another helpful tip: At bath time for baby , I would add organic instant oatmeal oats to baby’s warm bath. Just let baby sit in the water well the oats soothe. Before taking baby out of the bath , I would get a handful of the softened oats from baby’s bath & gently rub the oats on baby’s rash. I found this to be extremely helpful in a speedy recovery for baby.

If u have a baby already /New born do u have a trick to avoid the crying during bath time ? Im expecting and not prepared for that 😱😱

[@melissamoore95]

@@rajatabiche6323 Most the time babies love bath time. But for those who don’t , try singing to baby. The comfort of your voice should soothe baby. Typically when babies cry during bath time it’s because they’re hungry , the water temp is too cold/hot , or they’re ready to be put down for sleep.

Italy here. Midwives here suggest to mix good quality olive oil with potato starch until a cream forms. It works wonders! (If rashes are really bad, cloth diapers are also suggested)

All good but you can't use it longer than two weeks. After that time you have to make a new paste otherwise you are risking bacterias in your homemade cream.

How long should diaper free time be and during diaper free time, how should we handle our newborn peeing or pooing. During the first few weeks, he would be very eager to urinate once we remove his diaper, now at around 8 werks, it's not as common but it's one of the reasons we've steered away from diaper free time

[@smadak]

I need some more details on diaper-free time... how long do you leave the diaper off? And where do you put baby during that time? I'd be worried she's gonna pee while we're hanging out diaper free.

[@genny5482]

Something I go to help my little one, is I got her a potty chair so she can sit on that after I take off the old diaper and before the new one goes on. She get some diaper free time and no new outfit is needed. My baby is just about 4 months and we have been doing this on and for a few months now. She can sit on the potty chair with some help.

Hey could you suggest if we can start using this from two months.

How to avoid diaper rash in your newborn: If your baby is exhibiting signs of diaper rash, there are a few things you can do to help avoid it. Here are a few tips: 1. Keep them clean: Diaper rashes are often caused by bacteria that build up on the skin during curation. Make sure your newborn is kept clean and free of dirt, dried sweat, and other irritants by changing their clothes regularly and putting them in the dryer when needed. 2. Use a mild soap: Soap can help remove any bacteria that may have built up on the skin, but it’s also essential to use mild soap to prevent irritation. If the rash is becoming severe or chronic, consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice on using an over-the-counter medication to treat it. 3. Avoid over-the-counter medications: Although some medicines can cause rash, it’s not the best idea to use them without talking to your doctor first. These include antacids, aspirin, and other aluminum and chlorine drugs. read more:babiessounds.com/diaper-rash-in-newborns/

My daughter was premature and got really bad diaper rashes. The hospital made this ointment at their pharmacy that they called “Pittsburgh cream” (because I’m from Pittsburgh lol) I can’t remember everything in it but I know it was a petroleum base with some kind of antacid powder in it. It worked so well! Wish I had the exact recipe to share. I’m going to do some research and see if I can find it 😊 Edit- Pittsburgh paste is the name of it. It seems like it was made with maalox and a&d ointment.

[@Gaabiumma]

Hello from Pittsburgh!

[@Rookie7916]

We use bounty paper towels and colloidal silver and colloidal copper at 8ppm and soak paper towels in the half and half mix and use as baby wipe. Never get rashes and if poop isnt changed right after they poop, they can get a skin irritation due to the toxins touching the skin directly so we soak the same paper towels in the colloidals and simply apply it to the irritaded skin and the silver cools the area and kills the bacteria and microbes and fungus and the copper helps the skin recover quickly. When that happens leave and continue spraying towel in order that the colloidals work better. God bless. Hope someone benefits from the info. Research how to make your own colloidals on youtube and it wont cost much and one can use it on everything around the house like sick plants and pink eye or any kind of other irritations or rashes on kids or even pets.

[@drumsR4girls]

I have some tips! Baby is 6 weeks now and has had 2 REALLY bad diaper rashes. We'd been doing everything in this video and her bum was still so raw, she'd cry when she farted. :( We contacted our pediatrician and was prescribed Calmoseptine, which is an OTC cream similar to Butt Paste and Desitin, but usually in the adult section instead of baby care. I don't know that it made all the difference on its own (we alternated using Calmoseptine & the A+D ointment each diaper change). What seemed to make the biggest difference was the pediatrician's other recommendation - soaking her bum in warm water once a day. We just let her sit in a container of water for about 5 minutes (as long as we can stand to hold her up). Game changer. Her bum looks great now (even after a relapse when we missed the soak for 2 days in a row). Seems to be diarrhea-related. Additional tips: use a blow dryer on cool to dry the skin before applying the barrier. Our baby actually really likes it (not expected). Also, diaper-free time was hard with a newborn. The waterproof diaper changing pad made her sweat a ton and it was difficult to keep a clean, open diaper under her butt enough to keep any messes contained. We finally bought some puppy pads to lay her on. Works great for public changing stations too!

[@Amy-fk5we]

HI! I am dealing with the exact same problem with a 5 week old. His bum is very raw too. It's hard to apply zinc paste and antifungal cream on raw skin and do diaper fee time without a mess. Thanks for sharing! I will definitely try everything you mentioned. I have a ton of puppy pads, what a wonderful idea for diaper free time! Have a wonderful day!

[@deliasimms4499]

Hi there, my son was prescribed every cream under the sun with contact dermatitis that looked raw, was very painful and distressing. The act of washing the baby's bottom with a gentle prescribed cleanser after each time he pooped and drying with a hair dryer really helped. Infact the rash that was going on for atleast a month went in 36 hours! It was magic.

[@valeriepark9444]

Am currently bent over the changing table to nurse baby, while he is sandwiched between two of those changing pads to catch any pee (quite frequent). He seems content!

Best diaper rash "ointment" I ever used on my babies and grandbabies is.....1. Get a airtight container. 2. Mix together a tube of hydrocortisone 0.5, zinc oxide, lotrimin, and lanoline. I like to give those 4 tubes and an airtight container in baby gifts for new moms. Works like a charm! I got this recipe from a pediatric nurse. (also good for adult chaffing) Also can put baby/toddler in a lukewarm bath with baking soda to relieve some of the redness and pain.

Use cloth diapers Easier for later potty training and less chance of diaper rash. Definitely disagree with these people. But keep in mind A doctor named berry brazelton got funding from Pampers. They’re just saying this to make parents feel less guilty for using regular diapers. The baby I nannied had diaper rash chronically for the longest time. It was horrible and sad to see her in sooo much pain. ended up having to get an anti fungal, poor baby. Was on it for about a week or two. I believe nystatin was it. Poor kid. Yes! I’m tired of people changing diapers only every 2-3 hours for young babies. I tend to check them each hour or hour and a half! I worked in a daycare and at the last center I was at, I saw a baby who had a couple open red sores on his tush! And I checked the iPad and he hadn’t been changed in THREE HOURS! Poor guy. luckily that worker quit anyways
