Skin irritations can be caused by prolonged contact with urine and feces. To avoid them, the diaper should be changed as often as needed. It is important to clean the baby with water and neutral soap after bowel movements, and to keep the diaper region dry.
• Change diaper frequently.
• Wash the region with neutral soap.
• Keep the skin clean and dry, especially in folds and grooves.
• After washing, dry the area well and powder with dry cornstarch in the affected region.
• Evaluate with the physician the need for other products. Do not use any product without medical recommendation.
• If using cloth diapers, wash well with neutral soap, and rinse several times.
• Avoid rubbing the skin during cleaning, using premoistened wipes, and using soap powder and softeners.
