After cleaning, they should gently dry it with a towel. 5. Parents should help their baby clean in moderation, using warm water, keeping the baby's buttocks dry, and apply diaper cream after each wash.

If it is, the baby must be washed with warm water in time. The baby will get better after washing it several times.
