How can I prevent redness from appearing on my baby's bottom?
Redness in the diaper area is a frequent and generally benign occurrence in babies.
It is due to prolonged contact with faeces and urine, and appears most especially in the case of diarrhoea, antibiotic treatments or during teething.
• To prevent its appearance, we recommend that you change your baby's diaper regularly, as soon as possible after it becomes soiled.
• Cleanse their bottom thoroughly with a suitable product (such as Mustela Bébé Cleansing Milk or PhysiObébé No-rinse cleansing fluid), and then dry completely, not forgetting the folds.
• Finally, as a preventive measure, with each diaper change apply a specific cream such as Mustela Bébé Vitamin Barrier Cream, which will isolate baby’s skin from harsh factors thanks to the protective action of zinc oxide.
