If you baby is prone to severe diaper rash, consider changing the make of diaper you use. My little boy had the worst rash that wouldn't clear up and I bought a pack of Huggies because that was all we could get on vacation - we used Pampers - and within a week the diaper rash was gone.
I tried taking my babies diaper off when she had a severe rash and letting it air out. I left her diaper off for at least five minutes every time I changed her. It worked well. Thanks
