Relief Remedies

Diaper rash can occur when your little one is in wet or dirty diapers too long and her delicate skin becomes irritated. Treat several times each day:

• Thoroughly rinse and dry the diaper area with each change, then
• Try keeping diaper off as much as possible to minimize further irritation
• Liberally apply an over-the-counter diaper rash product
