  • It is really important to stop the chemicals in urine and faeces aggravating your baby’s delicate skin
  • Leave the diaper off for as long as possible to let your baby’s skin get some fresh air
  • Try to ensure that your baby’s diaper fits well and is not chafing or rubbing
  • Avoid using any soaps, detergents or bubble bath that could be irritating your baby’s skin
