Diaper Rash Causes

How to Prevent

Prolonged wetness from urine or diarrhea on baby's sensitive skin Clean wet or soiled diaper immediately

An allergic reaction to things like diaper wipes, soap, detergent or fabric softener Your baby may be allergic to things like wipes, soap, detergent or fabric softener. Try using fragrance-free products.
Changes in your baby's diet - like introducing table foods - may cause diaper rash, because of frequency of her stool When introducing new foods to your baby, expect higher frequency of stool
