Diaper Rash
Almost every baby will develop diaper rash at some time or another, so it’s important to know what causes diaper rash, what it looks like, how to treat it, and how to prevent it. Also, learn about diaper rash caused by yeast infection and whether baby wipes can aggravate a diaper rash.

It is important to think about eco friendly diapers when it comes to protecting the environment.

Until recently, parents really only had two choices for diapers… cloth diapers and disposable diapers.

With the improvements made with wetness retention and the fit of disposable diapers in the 1970s and 1980s, disposable diapers overtook cloth diapers in popularity and they now control approximately 90% to 95% of the diaper market.

The average baby typically goes through 5,000 to 6,000 diapers before they are potty trained. Many parents concerned about the environmental impact of the diapers their households’ produce have sought eco friendly diaper options.

If you find out your baby dirty, you can try washing it by firmly supporting the head and shoulders with your free arm. If shampoo is being used, ensure that it is properly rinsed off. After the bath, baby should be dried well with a warm and soft towel.

Bathing a newborn baby is probably a traumatic event for a first time mom. Newborns can seem so fragile, and wet, slippery ones downright frightening. But, don’t fear; once you get the hang of it, you’ll feel like a pro. There’s no need to give your newborn a bath every day. Bathing your baby more than several times a week can dry out his or her skin.

Cloth diapering today is not what it used to be. When many parents think of cloth diapers they think of flat diapers that need to be folded and fastened with diaper pins and then covered with plastic pull on covers. Generally they also think that the clean-up involved with using cloth diapers would be tedious and messy.

It seems as though many parents have missed the total evolution of the cloth diaper that has occurred over the past decade or so. New choices in materials and high tech fabrics are causing an increasing number of parents to reconsider whether disposable diapers are the best choice.

How to Use Cloth Diapers:

• Most cloth diapers that are available in the market today are pre-folded. Take one of these cloth diapers and place them on the bed, vertically. While doing so, ensure that the middle section which is the thickest is right at the center.
• Next, you will need to fold the thinner sides that are on the left and the right to meet the middle section.
• Remove the soiled diaper that the baby is wearing and place him or her on the diaper that you have placed. The edge of the diaper should be at the same height as the navel of the baby. If your baby is small in size then, fold the top of the front of the diaper for boys and the top of the back of the diaper for girls.

Baby care includes the sensible guidelines for feeding, nappy cleansing, bathing and a good number of other daily work involved in caring for your child.

Changing:
The baby’s diapers should be regularly changed.  The intervals should be fixed according to the baby’s routine of potting and wetting.  Despite the routine, the baby may need changing because of  untimely nature calls at times. It is the baby’s right to feel dry at every moment.  See to it that the bed is not wetted and the smelly clothes and bed sheets are removed.

Oral Care:
Most of the babies get their first tooth between 6-10 months, while few of them don’t get it till 12 months. You can start cleaning your baby’s teeth as soon as they appear.

You can keep your baby’s smile fresh by using a clean wash cloth to gently rub the teeth clean, at least twice a day. After the breakfast and before going to bed are good times to give it a go. Even baby’s toothpaste is not recommended, until he/she is 2 yrs old.

Why use cloth diapers?

They are better for your baby
Babies who wear cloth diapers get far fewer diaper rashes than babies who wear disposable diapers. Many parents who switch to cloth from disposables, switch because of a problem with diaper rashes. The chemicals in disposable diapers can irritate baby’s skin and may be dangerous. Sodium polyacrylate, the absorbent little gel beads you may find on your baby’s bottom when using disposable diapers, was banned from use in tampons in 1985 because of its link to toxic shock syndrome.

To learn more about potential health effects for your child, read these studies. Finally cloth diapers are more comfortable for your baby since they are softer and more breathable. The same way adults prefer cotton to plastic underwear.

I only know a few people personally who also use cloth diapers and I think that I influenced their decision to try it. I love it. It’s kind of an addiction as strange as that sounds to non-cloth diapering people… let alone people who don’t even have kids! It makes me feel like I’m doing my part with the whole reduce,reuse, recycle thing.

They are cute
Cloth diapers have more colors, prints, and styles to choose from. There are even cloth diapers with lace sewn on that can be worn under dresses. They are also softer to the touch for you and your baby.
