My son is rather sensitive to the amount of sugar in his diet. Too much and his number of dirty diapers shoots up. This tends to lead to diaper rash and small battles whenever we clean up said dirty diapers. Any one have any suggestions for making changes go smoother when a baby has diaper rash? Particularly we cleaning up the dirty diapers? |

I wonder if any of the following points could be of help to you when are changing dirty diapers while your little one has a diaper rash.

Emi's answer is pretty comprehensive, just wanted to add: We've found it helps to moisturise the skin well at every opportunity. This seems to help the skin to be stronger and resist the infection, so it gets less sore. We use aqueous cream to wash bottoms at bath time as it's less drying than soap. A table spoon of olive oil mixed with warm water (or cooled chamomile tea and honey, which seems to be soothing and healing) is a useful mixture for cleaning up bottoms at diaper changes (use cotton wool or soft cloths soaked in the mixture). +1 For the healing properties of olive oil and other natural ingredients!
