“Phenomenal product. I don’t know what I would do without it, because my son’s skin is so sensitive. I use it “religiously”. It is the only thing that gives him relief and keeps the diaper rash under control.” —Mother of 1, East Windsor, NJ
Diaper Rash Prevention
The following are tips to prevent and treat diaper rash:
1) Do not overdress your baby – layer just enough to stay warm.
2) Avoid restrictive clothing and plastic pants...at all times.
3) Change diapers frequently, keep diaper area clean and dry (a coating of cornstarch works well).
4) Give baby’s bottom some "air time" without a diaper to reduce diaper-to-skin friction and promote healing.
5) Apply a thin coating of a medicated, non-prescription ointment containing zinc oxide – like Triple Paste® Medicated Ointment – at diaper changes, after bath and before bed to provide protection from irritation and promote healing.
6) Treat mild diaper rash early, before it becomes a bigger problem.
7) If your doctor prescribes antibiotics for your child, make sure you have a premium over-the-counter diaper rash ointment like Triple Paste handy. Start using it at the first sign of irritation, or as soon as you administer the first dose.
8) Keep the ointment in multiple locations – a tube in the nursery, a tube in the diaper bag, a tube at daycare.
9) If diaper rash does not clear up in a few days, or worsens dramatically, contact your pediatrician.
“Treat mild diaper rash early, apply a thin coating of a medicated non-prescription ointment or paste preferably with zinc oxide - such as Triple Paste to protect skin from irritation and promote healing.”
