Unfortunately, no matter how well you care for your baby, diaper rash can still occur from time to time. Diaper rash begins when trapped moisture and friction begin to irritate the skin. The irritation continues over time, and the harsh urine and stool inside a soiled diaper can make the situation worse. Diaper rash is not only uncomfortable for baby, but if it is left unattended, or doesn't resolve on its own, it can even lead to infection.

Read on to learn more about how to DETECT diaper rash, how to CORRECT it, and how to help PROTECT your baby from getting it.
