Our expert opinion

Diaper rash, or diaper dermatitis, is a skin inflammation caused by prolonged contact of baby's skin with a diaper soiled with stool or urine. It can also be caused by irritation due to the detergent or fabric softener used to wash cloth diapers, or by a substance present in certain brands of disposable diapers. Diarrhea can also have this effect.

In addition to washing:

• Weather permitting, expose baby's bottom to as much air as possible. If it's cold, stay with baby in the warm bathroom, on the changing table for a few extra minutes to play, after the bath. This will be a pleasant moment for both of you, and baby will be out of diapers for a while.
• If your child often suffers from diaper rash, or if the rash persists for several days, use special diapers sold in pharmacies (cotton diapers).
• In all cases, you should change your baby's diaper as soon as it becomes wet or soiled, and at least after every feeding or meal. When positioning the diaper, make sure it's not too tight. Air must be able to circulate.
