To help promote healing of diaper rash, you should:
A)
Increase airflow, allowing the baby to be free of the diaper for periods of time
B)
Stop using soap when washing cloth diapers
C)
Tighten the baby’s diaper more
D)
Give your baby less baths, as they may irritate the rash
Increasing airflow to your baby’s affected area is an important part in healing diaper rash. The area should always be dry and clean, even when diapers are on. Bathing your baby daily is essential in allowing the diaper rash to heal. Keep your baby’s diaper loose, allowing airflow to get to the area, and reducing the risk of chaffing the sensitive spots. When using cloth diapers, make sure to wash with soap and bleach between each usage.

Cervical mucus is not associated with fertility problems.
Chronic infections in the cervix can also reduce the amount or quality of cervical mucus, the sticky or slippery substance that collects on the cervix and in the vagina. Reduced amount or quality of cervical mucus can make it difficult for women to get pregnant.
Women who have previously given birth have a lower risk of pregnancy while using sponge, cervical cap or diaphragm.
The sponge is more effective for women who have never given birth. If women who have never given birth always use the sponge as directed, 9 out of 100 will become pregnant each year. If women who have never given birth don't always use the sponge as directed, 12 out of 100 will become pregnant each year.
