Baby Butt/Body Rash

The weather has been so hot, even with the ac and fan....the heat is still up. My little princess had a butt rash at first i though it was a diaper rash but  then it spread to her back. No matter how careful you are, your baby may probably get diaper rash at some point. Most babies do.

Here’s what i did and it cleared up;

•  I used dustin powder on the affected areas
• Wore her light cloths and changed her diaper more frequently to avoid irritation from urine
• Live her bare butt for about 1hour in a day
• Bath her frequently with cool water
• When she poops i just don’t use wipes and then put her diaper on, i also wash her butt with water

And under 5 days her skin was as clear as usual.Here are some other reasons your baby may have rash in the body

• Bacterial infection
• Allergic reaction to diaper: Change the type of diaper you use till you find a suitable one for your baby
• Sleeping on poopy diaper or full diaper from urine: Always check your baby’s diaper even when they are asleep to see if they pooped and then change it, as a mother you don’t sleep deep, sleep with one eyes open like a shark, lol.
• Having diarrhoea
• If your baby is taking antibiotics or if you are taking antibiotics and breastfeeding

Call or visit your paediatrician if the rash doesn't clear up after 1 week, they can prescribe an anti-fungal medicine/cream to clear it up.

Note that the use of this dustin powder is for prickly heat and it’s the traditional way for fighting heat rash not a medical advice, Always seek your doctor before trying anything new.
