Diaper rash is a normal occurrence for babies. When baby cheeks are inside of a diaper 24/7 for upwards of 2.5 years, you are bound to have a rash every now and again.

Some common reasons for rashes:
* Change in Mama's diet (for nursing babies)
* Change in baby's diet (watch food introductions)
* Teething
* Sensitivity to detergent and/or buildup of detergent in diaper fabric

So with that in mind, here are 5 tips for preventing a rash or decreasing the incidence of rashes:
* Give your baby diaper free time every day - allow those cheeks to air out at least once a day for more than 10 minutes.
* Cleanse your baby's diaper area with warm water and a cloth , nothing else, no chemicals.
* Make sure your baby's diaper area is dry before you put on a fresh diaper.
* Change your baby often, ideally after every wet, but definitely as soon as there is poop.
* If your baby seems sensitive to wetness, use a diaper with a stay dry layer (Pocket or All in Ones are two choices- such as Fuzzi Bunz) or use a stay dry liner made of microfleece or raw silk inside of a fitted or prefold diaper.

Here's to happy, healthy little cheeks!
