Dear Tulip,

When babies get rashes they become irritate and some time it alsopains.So, to avoid the rashes always use talcum when he/she urinates ,when tying a diaper use talcum or vaseline on a body and they tie a diaper.Try to keep baby dry as much as possible

Causes of skin rashes can be many.. Sweat, milk in the face and especially neck areas.. to urine, feces
or diaper rash in the thighs, genital area..

Give your baby a bath daily and wipe with a wet cloth before sleep, Dust talcum powder liberally.. For the face use a baby lotion and massage.. Before bath use baby oil and see that the skin is not dry which will result in more rashes..

For diaper rash read this post.. It has in depth suggestions by sanjay..
