  What are the reasons for skin irritations or inflammations?

  How to avoid...

Change your baby’s diaper whenever he/she urinates or defecates; if possible, rinse the whole area in contact with the diaper, drying it well to remove all residues or clean it with a moist tissue. Apply a diaper rash cream/ointment at every change of diaper.

  Your baby needs some time without wearing a diaper...

It is important to let your baby go without a diaper between every change of diaper to reduce moistness.

  Precautions during bath or at every change of diapers...

Rinse diaper area in contact with the baby or during the baby’s bath using a neutral soap. Don’t rub the baby’s skin to wipe the cream in excess.

  Use an adequate cream/ointment

After bath and at every change of diaper apply a cream or ointment to avoid skin irritations or rash. Carefully choose an appropriate baby’s cream/ointment that is quickly absorbed.

  Remember...

Your doctor is the only person that can recommend the adequate cream to your baby’s skin.
