The frequency of application depends on whether you’re using the cream for prevention or to treat diaper rash:
- For prevention: If your baby doesn’t have any signs of diaper rash, applying a thin layer of cream with each diaper change can help create a protective barrier against moisture and irritation. This can help prevent diaper rash from developing in the first place.
- For diaper rash: If your baby does have a diaper rash, you’ll want to apply the cream more frequently, typically at every diaper change. Consistent use will help soothe the irritation and promote healing until the rash clears up completely.
Additional Tips:
- You can always do a patch test on a small area of your baby’s inner thigh before using the cream extensively, especially if your baby has sensitive skin.
- If the diaper rash worsens or doesn’t improve after a few days of using the cream, consult your pediatrician.
