What should I do if my baby has a red buttock pain due to wearing diapers?

The baby's excretion is a very troublesome issue for most parents, because the baby's excretion is completely irregular and they defecate whenever they want without any control. Most parents put diapers on their babies, but wearing diapers for a long time can easily cause the baby's buttocks to become red, swollen and painful. Let's see what to do if the baby's buttocks become red and painful due to wearing diapers? I hope everyone can understand.

Most babies have experienced diaper rash during their infancy. It may not be that serious, but if it is serious, the pain will be so piercing that the baby will cry heartbreakingly, and mothers will suffer tremendous pain in their hearts, and even cry with their babies. That was what happened to me at that time. Now I think that if I had prepared coping methods when I was pregnant, I could have alleviated a lot of the baby's pain.

1. When your baby has a red bottom, try to clean it as often as possible. Wash it every time you change the diaper. Then take protective measures. Using diaper cream when necessary can quickly and effectively improve diaper rash.

2. Regardless of whether the baby has diaper rash or not, try not to use diapers or wet diapers when the baby is awake during the day. Let the baby's bottom breathe more fresh air and keep it dry at all times.

3. Prepare a clean basin and pour in an appropriate amount of warm water. Use your hands to scoop water and pour it over the baby's butt, covering a wide area. Clean all the skin covered by the diaper, and then pat it dry with a dry towel. Avoid using a towel to clean the baby, as friction to the skin will increase the pain for the baby.

4. After the baby's butt is completely dry, apply a little diaper cream, just apply a thin layer on the red areas.

5. After the diaper cream is completely dry, apply a layer of talcum powder.

It’s a very simple step. Just wash your baby’s buttocks every two hours. Do this every time. There will be a big improvement on the first day. It will be almost healed in two days, or at most three days.

Other notes :

If you are breastfeeding, the mother should try to eat lighter food and give the baby more water. This will effectively reduce the possibility of the baby getting a sore throat. Try not to use diapers or wet wipes during the day. Be sure to clean the baby's butt immediately after defecation, because there are a lot of irritants in pee and poop, which is one of the main causes of baby's diaper rash. If you want diapers, you should choose ones that are more breathable.
