Home Remedy for Diaper Rash

It's red, itchy and certainly is not a pretty sight for anyone. It's not really a medical problem; it basically is just another of life's little discomforts. As simple as that.

The good news about this "little discomfort" is the fact that it is usually curable within a short period of time. And some measures could get rid of this problem forever. The principles used to cure diaper rash is actually the same as to prevent it happening at the first place. So not only will you cure it, you would also be able to avoid it in the future if you follow these instructions.

Diaper-less Baby
The best diaper is no diaper at all. Take it off whenever practical. This way the baby's skin would not have any contact with his stool and urine. Of course, this is practical when all else fails. We suggest that you put your baby on a nice rubber mat covered with washable cloth while you air out his bottom. That way, the mess would be kept minimum.

Internal Measures
Although a prolong contact with a wet or dirty diaper is commonly believed to be the reason behind diaper rash, other researchers believe that the real problem is related to dietary more than hygiene. If the baby is breastfed, check if you have just added new food in your diet. Excess of vitamin C, pineapples or oranges in a mother's diet could lead to the problem. If the baby takes formula milk, try to change it to goat milk. Wheat could also be a factor. Just make sure that grains are introduced as the last food in the baby's weaning process.

Avoid These
Certain things may sounds good to you ? until you use it. Commercial baby wipes is among one of these culprits. Most of it contains alcohol and other chemicals that could dry and irritate a baby's skin. Avoid these irritants by not using it at the first place. To wipe you baby's bottom just use a wet soapy cloth and rinse it cleanly.

Avoid plastic pants too since moisture are trapped when it is worn over a diaper. This causes irritation to your baby and leads to diaper rash.

Useful Ointments and Powder
Most doctors will advise you to use diaper rash cream every time you change your baby's diaper. Apart from that, dusting your baby's bottom with talcum powder may help. Just make sure that when shaking it into your palm, it's away from the baby's face. Inhaling talcum powder is very dangerous to babies.

Vinegar
Another useful regimen is to wash the diaper region with dilute vinegar (1 to 2 tbsp per 1 liter water). Repeat this measure at each diaper change. The idea is to neutralize or balances the ammonia from the baby's waste.

If all fails
If you've waited for 5 days and have tried all the above measures without success, then it's time to head to the doctor's room. The reason? If left untreated it would only make the matter worse and would only be more painful for that little ones.
