How should I handle my baby’s diaper rash?

Diaper rash is common and can often be managed with consistent care. Allow for ample 'diaper-free time' during the day to let the skin breathe and stay dry. When applying creams, many parents recommend switching to a 40% zinc oxide cream or using pediatrician-recommended options like Desitin or Sudocrem after every change. If the rash persists or seems severe, consult your pediatrician to ensure there isn't an underlying issue requiring a medicated ointment.
