After becoming a mom myself and working in childcare for 8 years. I’ve seen some babies get rashes every week and some never. Over the years I realized that sometimes rashes happen even when switching dirty diapers often. Depending on the babies skin sensitivity, you might have to experiment with a couple diapers, wipes, and balms.
What is diaper rash?
Diaper rash is a rash or skin irritation that forms in your baby’s diaper area.
My son is now 4 months and has never got a full blown diaper rash. When he was a month old I saw one small red dot, and immediately took care of it.
