In this article of Mom's Land, we will take a look at the nappy rash and its care which is common in babies especially between 9 and 12 months.

Our babies' skin is very delicate; for this reason, many reasons such as skin wetness, stool and urine contact, the period of teething, the period of meeting with solid foods, allergy or infection can sometimes cause nappy rash.

It is possible that you can take precautions at home and treat the nappy rash in a few days.  We have listed a few key points for you to care for this illness, which is generally harmless but should not be neglected: 

1. You should change your baby’s nappy often as soon as he’s done peeing, you should keep your baby’s nappy area dry and clean.
2. You should allow your baby’s skin to get some fresh air for a few minutes, if possible more than a few minutes.
3. You can apply rash cream, as recommended by your doctor for nappy rash to your baby’s skin as a thin layer before putting on a clean diaper.
4. The high absorption capacity of the baby diaper you choose and its breathable outer surface ensure that your baby's skin remains dry.
5. What your baby eats affects her poo (stool) directly, so you can create a dietary pattern by realizing what is not good for your baby.
6. Since synthetic fabrics can prevent your baby's skin from breathing, you can choose cotton, breathable fabrics.
7. Avoid using talcum powder as it can irritate your baby's skin.
8. Please consult your doctor, if your baby has a problem while eating, if your baby experiences a diarrhea or her nappy rash does not get better in three or four days of care or turns into another infection.
