Change diapers every three hours

With newborn babies and toddlers be sure that you change the diaper every three hours to prevent occurrence of rashes in the private areas.

A healthy baby would be urinating enough every three hours to make the inner surface of the diaper go moist and warm. Remember warm and moist areas are the preferred thriving ground for bacteria and yeast that can lead to rashes. These rashes can be painful and also irritate your baby to the core. The irritability can interfere with appetite, sleep and general wellbeing. So be sure you put on a fresh diaper every three hours to keep your baby happy and free of infections in the privates. Also know about ways how to prevent diaper rashes in babies.
