If the baby has a red bottom, the mother should change the baby's diaper frequently and wipe it with skin-protecting soft wipes. Try to choose soft and comfortable old cotton cloth as diapers. After the baby poops or pees, the urine and feces on the baby's bottom must be wiped clean.

If you find that your baby can't sleep well, keeps crying, and nothing you do to comfort him works, your family will be exhausted for him. When the diaper is wet, you will find that the baby's buttocks, inner thighs and external genitalia are red, and there are many small red spots. Then you can immediately diagnose that the baby's crying is caused by "diaper rash". To treat baby's diaper rash, we need to analyze the specific problem specifically.

Diaper rash, commonly known as "red buttocks", is mainly caused by the skin on the baby's buttocks being non-breathable in a humid, stuffy environment for a long time; irritants in feces and urine, as well as some cleaning solutions containing irritating ingredients, can also make the baby's buttocks red.

Because of this, babies often become irritable, cry, and sleep restlessly. The reason why some children have red buttocks is: breast milk diarrhea, which is caused by lactose intolerance in children. Summer is a high-risk season for "diaper rash", but if diapers or diapers are not used, the baby's private parts are prone to bacterial infection, so mothers should pay special attention to the care of the baby's little butt.

Here are some care methods for your reference:

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.

7. When taking your baby out, bring a pack of soft wet wipes with you to solve the big problem of washing your baby's buttocks outside.

8. For red buttocks caused by breast milk diarrhea, the traditional remedy of applying sesame oil or vegetable oil can have a good therapeutic effect. Because sesame oil is relatively pure and suitable for baby's delicate skin. Moreover, the strong moisturizing effect of sesame oil can moisturize the mucous membrane near the baby's anus and protect it from the irritation of loose stools. The new method: using talcum powder and diaper cream is suitable for red buttocks caused by diaper rash. At the same time, parents are advised to use good quality diapers and change them frequently.

9. Cleaning and changing diapers for your baby frequently can also prevent the occurrence of diaper rash. The skin of a newborn is very delicate. Many newborns are not adapted to diapers and are prone to diaper rash on their buttocks. Therefore, traditional cloth diapers cannot be completely eliminated for the time being, especially in summer. Many new parents will wisely choose to use a mixture of diapers and disposable diapers.
