The reason why baby's bottom is red, make the baby more comfortable

The baby has a red butt, which we call diaper rash. It is very common in infancy, especially in babies born in summer. Because parents have no experience in taking care of children, it is easy for the baby to have a red butt. The most common cause of a red butt is diaper infection and the mother's eating habits.

1. Causes of red buttocks

1. Diaper infection

If a diaper that has been used for defecation is not changed in time, the moisture of urine and the ammonia generated by urine will irritate the skin and cause redness. The digestive enzymes in feces can also damage the skin. Damaged skin is prone to the growth of fungi such as white mold. Once this happens, not only will the buttocks become red, but they may also swell. In severe cases, the skin will feel a pricking pain. Infections caused by Candida albicans are more likely to occur in the crotch, sexual organs, navel, etc.

2. Eating habits

It’s not that certain foods will directly cause diaper rash, but rather that certain characteristics of foods will make the baby more likely to develop diaper rash. For example, if you eat too much certain fruits, your urine and feces will be more acidic, causing greater irritation to your buttocks. Sometimes diapers that are not rinsed clean can easily cause diaper rash. For example, detergents, bleaches and other ingredients left on the diapers can irritate the skin and cause inflammation.

2. Nursing

1. Change your baby's diapers frequently and wipe with skin-friendly wipes.

2. Try to choose soft and comfortable old cotton cloth as diapers. Babies who can control their urination and defecation should wear full-crotch pants.

3. Conduct urination training to cultivate good urination and defecation habits for your baby.

4. When the buttocks are slightly red, you can use the Dihu Baby Plant Skin Cream. If the redness is serious, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

5. After washing the baby's buttocks, expose them to the air or sunlight to dry the local skin.

6. After the baby poops or pees, you must wipe the urine and feces off the little butt. Baby girls should also pay attention to wiping their buttocks from front to back, because baby girls have short urethras and are easily infected by bacteria, causing urinary tract infections.
