Nappy Rash – Natural Remedy

As new mommies and daddies, we struggle to understand what our little ones is trying to share with us through their coo-ing and of course, cries.  In our effort to ensure our newborns sleep as much as they can, we sometimes, forget to let their bums breathe.

I had the experience when Lydia was born.  For a while I wondered why she was crying even though she has been well-fed, and diapers changed, and no fever whatsover.  It took an experienced mommy to share with me that perhaps he butts were uncomfortable.  True enough, there were tiny red spots on her buttocks and it turned out to be nappy rash.

While friends will suggest applying nappy rash cream, an effective solution is actually to just let her bumps air… after airing it for say 2 – 3 times (each about 10-15 min), Lydia’s bottoms were a-ok again.  Thought this may be a good remedy for new parents too!
