Preventing diaper rash

You may not always be able to protect your baby from diaper rash, but there are steps you can take to significantly reduce its occurrence.

The key to healing diaper rash is keeping the area as clean and dry as possible. Once you have finished cleaning your baby’s bottom, pat it dry (no rubbing!) before applying a thick layer of DESITIN^® ointment to provide a barrier of protection.

Your dreams have come true! Your baby is finally sleeping through the night. Now it’s extra important to protect against irritation caused by feces, urine, moisture and friction.
