Nappy rash: prevention and gentle care

Nappy rash is one of the most common skin troubles in the first two years. It looks painful, but it is rarely serious, and a few habits keep it away.

Change often

Wetness is the main cause. Change as soon as the nappy is wet, even at night if the rash is there.

Let the skin breathe

A few minutes without a nappy on a towel after each change does wonders.

A thin barrier

A thin layer of zinc balm at every change keeps moisture away from the skin. No need to wipe it all off at the next change.
