Being hit with a global pandemic disrupted everything we know as normal. Even our children have been affected and had to get used to distance learning and new ways of schooling. Many parents were deeply affected by the circumstances and implications of Covid-19 and felt the strain on their mental and physical health. It is well known that stress has a detrimental effect on our physical wellbeing, so it is important to take advantage of all the solutions available to you to minimise your stress levels. Making sure your baby is happy, healthy and comfortable is a great way to get things in

perspective for a calmer, happier mother and baby.

For parents, there is nothing more upsetting than seeing your baby in discomfort. Seeing your child experiencing the irritation and uneasiness associated with skin and diaper rash is awful for the parents as well as their baby. Contact Dermatitis is one such common diaper rash, which can make even the happiest of infants very uncomfortable and cranky. This rash causes babies’ skin to be red, itchy, blotchy and irritated, making them extremely vulnerable and over sensitive.

CAUSES OF CONTACT DERMATITIS

This skin condition can arise when your baby’s skin gets irritated due to contact with chemicals found in products such soaps, detergents, bleach, dyes, solvents - and even some bathing products. Certain emollients in products can also act in a detrimental way on an infant’s delicate skin.

Diaper rash is actually one form of contact dermatitis, caused due to the acidic nature of urine and faeces combining with heat that is generated within the diaper area. One of the most common products used to support a baby’s skin routine and care is baby wipes. While you may find many baby wipe options at your local supermarket, it is always important to check the number of ingredients in the product before purchasing the wipes - the fewer and more natural the ingredients, the better.

AVOIDING CONTACT DERMATITIS / DIAPER RASH

The most effective way to avoid contact dermatitis diaper rash is to ensure your baby’s diapers are changed frequently. It’s not unusual for their skin to get easily irritated and a regular diaper change is imperative in protecting delicate skin and keeping your baby happy. Another important aspect to consider is the use of pure products. Because these products focus on the use of natural ingredients, they are very much suited to a baby’s delicate skin and the chances of skin irritation decreases when you are not exposing their skin to harsh chemicals.
