Baby's bottom is red and itchy?
This is a very common problem especially during the first 12 months.
The problem is that it's very painful for them!
But don't bother buying Cicalfate or Bepanthen cream.
Fortunately, a nursery nurse gave me an effective grandmother's remedy to cure diaper rash.
The natural treatment for baby's red bottom is to give him a bath with baking soda . Watch:
1. Run the bath water.
2. Add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water.
3. Bathe baby as usual.
4. Repeat the operation for each bath.
There you go, thanks to this nursery remedy, you have naturally relieved baby's diaper rash :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
No more baby crying and pain because of red and irritated bottoms!
And it works in just a few bicarbonate baths.
Indeed, the bicarbonate will quickly soothe the pain associated with these irritations and make the redness disappear.
There are plenty of other uses for baking soda for babies.
If the baby's bottom is red, it is because of an environment that is too acidic.
This is particularly the case when the baby's bottom is in contact with the urine retained in the diapers or in the event of mycosis.
Bicarbonate restores an almost neutral pH, which reinforces the effectiveness of the skin's natural defences.
In addition, it frees the pores of the skin, to better eliminate toxins.
The skin of baby's bottom is particularly fragile! Especially since she is put to the test with diapers...
A virus, teething, a simple cold or diarrhea can be responsible for this irritation.
But be aware that many commercial products are also likely to promote this redness.
This is particularly the case with talc, cleansing milk, baby wipes and even some diapers.
Generally, liniment is a product that helps prevent redness on the buttocks. Plus, you can even do it yourself. Here is the recipe.
The good reflex to avoid diaper rash is to keep baby's bottom always dry.
For this, there is no need to wait for baby to cry to change his diaper.
It must be done as regularly as possible so that his buttocks do not remain in contact with urine which is acidic and aggressive for the skin.
Before giving him a clean diaper, make sure his skin is very dry.
It is also best to leave your baby's bottom exposed for as long and as often as possible.
If baby has red bottoms, do not wait to treat it. Because diaper rash can spread quickly sometimes even to the waist.
If diaper rash persists, see a doctor promptly.
