Though most parents believe that their babies’ skin should be rash free all the time, it's not necessarily the case since all babies get rashes. Regardless how cautious you are getting diaper rash is a normal part of being a baby.

What is and causes diaper rash?

Diaper rash typically is a result of your baby’s skin being exposed and rubbing (chafing) against excess moisture over prolonged period of time. Another extremely common cause of diaper rash is allergic reactions to the chemicals found in diapers, wipes and even baby powders.

Allergic reactions to soaps and other products used to clean your baby's bottom
Diapers that are too tight that rubbed the skin
Bacteria or bacterial infection
Chemicals used to clean cloth diapers

Diaper rashes are caused by an infection either from bacteria or yeast called Candida, which grows in warm moist places, like under your baby's diaper.

16 Tips In Treating Diaper Rash

Treating your baby's diaper rash can be tricky. If you are constantly battling with your baby's diaper rash, here are ways on how to treat diaper rash fast:

Change your baby's soiled diapers frequently, and as soon as possible after an accident occurs.
Always wash your hands after changing a diaper.
Use plain water to gently clean the diaper area with every diaper change.
Air-out your baby's bottom naturally before putting a new diaper.
Pat the skin dry and let as much open air area in the open air. The more time you keep your baby out of a diaper, the better.
Do not use wipes that have alcohol or perfume. They may dry out or irritate the skin more.
If you must use baby wipes, choose the unscented and hypoallergenic ones. Wipes with alcohol or perfume can dry out and irritate the baby even more.
Try different brands of disposable diapers (preferably natural ingredient based diapers) or make the switch to cloth diapers.
Use a natural ingredient based diaper rash cream for maximum protection against bacteria and moisture.
You can help prevent diaper rashes developing by using a protective barrier in your baby’s diaper.
Do not use talc (talcum powder).

If you use cloth diapers, you can treat diaper rashes by:

Avoid putting plastic or rubber pants over the diaper. This prevents air from passing through.
Avoid using fabric softeners. This will make the rashes worst.
When washing cloth diapers, rinse at least 2 to 3 times to remove all traces of soap.
Use the best and natural diaper rash treatment that works for cloth diapers
Rinse the cloth diapers thoroughly to remove any chemical irritants found in common laundry detergent
