Nappy rash- the baby’s most dangerous enemy
When it comes to babies, the first thought that comes to mind is that they are cute little things that can bring great amounts of joys and love to the parents’ home. They are little creatures that have a right to their parents’ attention, love and care. They deserve to be protected and saved from all sorts of harm because they themselves are not able enough to look after themselves and their well being. It is essential for the parents to look after them till they are old enough to look after themselves. One of the biggest threats that a baby has is nappy rash.
Now what exactly is a nappy rash? As the name suggests a nappy rash is a condition that is caused by wearing nappies. The nappy area because of this rash becomes infected with patches that are of red color and spots of the same color too. If you ever find the nappy area in such a condition then you should think that your baby has the baby rash.
The nappy rash (baby rød numse udslæt is the term we Danes use) is not something that you should drive yourself crazy over. About eighty percent of the babies that are less than one year old often become victims of these devious nappy rashes. They can drive your babies insane. The babies feel utterly miserable when there buttocks are labelled with such irritating patches and spots. They can neither sit; they can neither bear clothes covering their buttocks. Everything that touches them there causes them to scream and yell out in pain.
Sometimes when you are having a cup of tea or coffee and your baby starts yelling and mewling because of a dirty nappy, you might have often said to yourself that you will change the nappy right after this cup of tea or coffee. This perspective is extremely incorrect. In the time that you finish your cup of tea or coffee, your baby becomes a victim of the cruel baby rash. The soiled nappy should not be in contact with your baby buttocks for more than a few minutes. The moment your baby’s nappy is deemed dirty you must change the baby’s nappy. A dirty nappy will cause immense outbreak of rash especially on a baby that is a year old or less.
When you change your baby’s nappy make sure that you wipe the baby’s buttock clean with the help of water and then moisturize it with lotion. As compared to the baby wipes water is a good option. A baby wipe consists of immense chemicals and perfumes. These components of the baby wipes can cause immense irritation on the baby’s buttocks since they have extremely sensitive skin; they have a skin which immune system is not developed enough.
But when the baby turns one you can start using the baby wipes because the baby skin is no longer sensitive. You can be sure that from then on your baby will not become a victim of nappy rash ever again.
