Babies Go Diaper Rash Free With SkinEasi

“As soft as a baby’s bottom” is a reference we often use when we talk about something extremely soft and smooth. And when those smooth, soft and supple baby bottoms suffer from annoying diaper rashes, it can be very concerning and heart-wrenching for a parent. The little one undergoes acute discomfort and pain. The only way they can express their discomfort is by crying and sometimes, these cries can be just non-stop. It leaves a parent feeling helpless and desperate to try any remedy under the sun to restore the comfort in their baby and get rid of all those pesky rashes.

What Does a Diaper Rash Look Like?

First, let’s understand what a diaper rash is so that we don’t confuse these rashes with something else.

Diaper rash is the rashes that appear in areas where the baby’s skin is in contact with a diaper. The skin can become red, itchy, bumpy, scaly, tender, or sore to the touch.

The baby might cry when you touch the affected area or even when you just put on the diaper. It will hurt when they try to sit or when you carry them while putting pressure on their bottoms. Laying the baby on their back can also irritate the affected skin when it rests on something hard or the diaper itself.

Yes, that’s a lot of ways those tiny rashes can affect your baby. You will not have much of a “position” to let your baby relax in.

What Causes Diaper Rashes in a Baby?

Why do these pesky irritating rashes appear on those soft and smooth bottoms?

Some of the most common reasons for these rashes can be:

1. Tight Diaper

When the diaper is too tight, it does not allow enough room for ventilation. It is very natural for a parent to ensure the diaper is well secured on the baby, to avoid leaks and accidents. However, when there is no room for even air to circulate, the baby’s skin suffers.

Check if you are using the right size

Try the next size.
If the next size is too big, try a different brand or a different fit in the same brand (many brands have different types of diapers).
Try advanced materials (brands these days come with variants made with different materials or technologies).
Check videos online or ask your doctor to show you how to put on a diaper, the right way. One of the first instructions a nurse gives after a baby’s delivery is about using diapers. They will teach you how to put it on a baby and how to secure it properly but new parents have way too many things on their minds and might forget something crucial.

2. Antibiotics

If your child is on some medications or antibiotics, it could be causing the diaper rash. Many medications can cause a breakout of hives in a baby. If you feel this could be the culprit, check with your doctor. Ask for alternatives. Sometimes a doctor might prescribe some medicine to prevent such side effects if the antibiotic cannot be changed.

3. Inadequate Hygiene

If the baby’s bottoms and genital areas are not cleaned properly, it can lead to rashes. It is quite easy to miss a little pee or poop between those soft skin folds, especially if you are changing a sleeping baby’s diaper and are being careful not to wake them up.

Always check skin folds to ensure they are clean.
Try to wash the baby’s bottom under running water or with water.
Use fresh cloth or tissues to clean.
Ensure the sheets under the baby is changed after they soil them.
Always wash your hands well before touching a baby’s bottom. Anything sticking to your hands can be transferred to the baby’s bottom during a diaper change and cause rashes.
If you are cleaning poop, ensure your hands are clean before you apply anything on the baby’s bottom before putting on the next diaper.

4. Wet Skin

Putting a diaper on a wet bottom can also cause rashes. The water tends to get trapped and causes an overload of moisture when the baby wets the diaper. Always pat dry the bottom before you apply any diaper rash gel-like SkinEasi. Never let the skin be wet.

If you feel the diaper is too heavy or wet to touch from the outside, your baby’s diaper needs to be changed.

5. New Foods Sensitivity

When your baby is introduced to new foods as they get older, it can cause diaper rashes. Food allergies and reactions to certain food ingredients are very common, and the diaper area is also a common spot for those reactions to show up.

If the baby is exclusively breastfed,, what the mother eats can cause reactions in the baby.

6. Allergies

The products you use on your baby’s skin can cause rashes and allergies. It could be a new soap, powder, a new diaper itself, or the diaper rash gel or cream you are using. SkinEasi is made from natural ingredients like calendula oil, lavender oil, and patchouli oil, which help prevent such allergies.

7. Irritation

If your baby is being carried too often, the friction can cause rashes. They can be carried by hand or in a baby carrier. The diaper area is constantly under pressure as the baby’s weight rests on this area. This leads to a lot of pressure and friction, irritating the skin. If your baby has just started moving and is using their bottom to do it, it can irritate the skin too.

5 Easy Ways to Treat Diaper Rashes in Babies

Now, how can we solve this crisis? Here are 10 tried and tested methods many mothers have used over the years, to prevent or resolve a diaper rash situation. Hope these can help that little baby of yours:

1. Change and Clean

Always change the diaper within the time limit mentioned by the manufacturer. The number of hours mentioned on the pack is the “maximum” number of hours you can use the diaper on the baby. This does not mean you must always use a diaper for so many hours. If the diaper feels wet to touch or heavy, change it immediately.

When you change a diaper, always clean your baby’s skin before you can put on another diaper. Even if it is just urine, you need to clean the skin properly.

2. Pat Dry

It is vital to ensure the skin is dry before putting on a diaper. You need to pat dry the skin and not wipe clean. The repeated wiping motion can irritate the skin and cause chafing. Also, when we wipe, we tend to move at the same angle. The repeated friction can irritate the baby’s skin.

3. Absorbent Diapers

It always helps to invest in super-absorbent diapers. Yes, almost all brands advertise they are super absorbent. However, some babies wet themselves more than others. You need to explore the brands around you and find the right one for your baby’s needs.

You can opt for different brands or models for day and night use. Many brands have diapers specific for night use as babies need better protection at night. If your baby is a heavy wetter, you can consider using one of these “nighttime” diapers for the daytime too.

4. Extra Rinse

If you use cloth nappies or cloth diapers, ensure that you wash them well. Poop can stick to the most unexpected corners and creases. So, double rinsing can help. Wash with warm water and soap at all times. Never settle for just a water rinse. Also, dry them out in the sun as much as possible. Sunlight can kill all the germs and act as a natural disinfectant.

5. Diaper Rash Gel

The last but one of the most effective steps to prevent diaper rash is to use a diaper rash gel. When a baby’s diaper is changed, the bottom is cleaned. There is nothing between that soft, tender bottom and the machine-made diaper. The diaper, though made with care and the latest technology, is not customized.

The bottoms require extra protection. A protective layer and diaper rash gels like SkinEasi give just that. When you apply a layer of this gel on your baby’s skin, you are sealing the skin. This seal will protect the baby’s skin from the materials in the diaper itself, which can irritate the skin, the urine, and faeces which contain germs that can harm the skin. It will also prevent moisture from penetrating the skin.

What is SkinEasi?

SkinEasi is one of India’s leading brands developing unique skincare products to protect the skin against rashes and chafing. Developed by leading women scientists, the SkinEasi range of gels use revolutionary patented technology to provide the utmost care for the skin.
