I have summarized some tips you can implement to prevent and control the development of diaper rash:

• Babies' bodies should be well purified by washing with mild soap and warm water daily in addition to ensure carefully clean your baby's bottom between diaper changes, use warm (not hot) or a very mild soap.
• After bathing, make sure you pat dry your baby thoroughly with a towel instead of scrubbing (cleaning can irritate your baby's sensitive skin), and avoid drying sheets scented with dehydration that can increase the risk of allergic reactions.
• All cleaning materials used on the skin of your child needs to be smooth so as not to cause allergic reactions or other skin problems caused by cleaning materials, try to avoid baby wipes that are scented or contain alcohol, which can dry or irritate the skin.
• Your baby should be checked on a regularly to ensure that the diapers are clean and dry as prolonged contact with wet diapers is one of the fastest ways for your child to have bumps Skin irritations, as changing a diaper is wet or dirty, in addition to this, it is good practice to change the diaper before putting your baby after an animal, or just before bedtime.
• Let him or her without a diaper as much as possible, this allows your skin to breathe, the air flow and reduces skin friction and contact with irritants. You will see that most babies enjoy the freedom of being naked too. Let your baby lay on top a few diapering cloths. (If you have a child, place another cloth diaper over his penis when he is on his back so they do not spray.) Enable the Your baby's skin dry completely before putting on another diaper – the key to preventing diaper rash is to keep your baby's diaper clean, cool and dry.
• Diaper loosely to prevent wear, diapers that are too tight, not allowing enough air and tend to rub and irritate the waist baby or thighs, also avoid plastic or rubber pants over the diaper – not allowing enough air to pass.
• A soft sponge or flannel one can use to clean your baby's body, be aware that some fabrics can cause allergic reactions, synthetic fibers are more likely to cause irritation of natural fibers.

Contrary to general belief the onset of diaper dermatitis is not an indication of negligence, lack of hygiene or child care skills by parents (though there are a few exceptions), with careful attention and application of some preventive measures before mentioned, can prevent your diaper under control.
