Has anyone of you been facing this problem of your baby getting diaper rashes frequently and keep wondering how to get rid of the issue completely off your baby?I am sure this post will be very useful to you!

    Now-a-days many of the mothers are working moms and are forced to leave the baby in a creche or in the hands of a care taker.Most of the time you have no choice but  to use only the diapers that are available in the market leaving out the choice of using a cloth nappy.Cloth nappies need to be changed every time the baby pees or poops and can be washed  and re-used and hence it is very hygienic. But the easier ones to use and dispose are the baby diapers.I can proudly say that my son Ben,1 and half yrs old, has never gotten rashes due to diapers.The main reason is ,i never put him on diapers in the day time and use only washable cloth nappies during the day.Only in the night when i put him to bed I put him on pampers.After doing a thorough research on the best diaper to use for my baby,i decided on the pampers regular diapers.I prefer the regular ones to the pant style ones due to the ease in applying and removing them.

         This is what i do to keep away Diaper rash .....

Every night  before putting pampers on my son ,i wash his butt area with plain tap water ,dab it dry with a towel and then apply coconut oil generously to the areas(front and back) that would come in contact with the diapers and then apply the diaper.Some elders advice using baby powder ,But with my experience i realised that it is the last thing that you want to do as it might not do anything to prevent nappy rash but can even contribute to it by absorbing baby's urine and sticking to the skin,making it wet ,thereby making the skin even more prone to rashes.But the coconut oil application helps 100% to prevent rashes by providing complete moisture and the oiliness prevents the edges of the diaper from irritating the baby's skin. It can be even used as an overall body moisturiser if your baby has dry skin like mine does.You can use baby oil or even olive oil if you have them at home.I am aware that there are a lot of nappy rash creams available but i never wanted to use them constantly on my babies skin as it contains chemicals.In my opinion those creams can be used only as a treatment after the rash has come up and not as a preventive care.I feel coconut oil gives maximum moisture and prevents the elastic edges of the diaper from irritating the soft skin of the baby.Be at any time of the day, morning or evening when we go out,before putting him on the diaper,i follow this procedure and this has helped me from keeping him diaper rash free!I hope this post will be very useful for the moms and going to be mums!!!
