Apply Desitin at each diaper change

• 1). Make sure you try not to leave your baby in a wet diaper for any length of time. If possible give your baby a diaper change immediately after a long nap rather than having him or her lay in the wet diaper or on a wet sheet.
  
  
• 2). Remove the diaper and completely wash the entire diaper area, both front and back and in between the legs. Dry the area completely prior to putting on a new clean diaper.
  
  
• 3). Apply Desitin with your fingers and and cover the entire diaper area with a heavy protected coat. This will keep the moisture away from his skin and prevent the area from becoming irritated by urine and feces. Use a clean diaper and repeat the procedure each time there is a diaper change.
  
  
• 4). Change a diaper often and inspect the area for any rash or irritation. Never leave any diaper rash untreated. It can quickly become blistery and infected and cause your baby or infant pain and discomfort with no way to tell you except to cry incessantly.
