A newborn with common cold symptoms, such as a runny or stuffy nose, requires medical attention.
Because newborns have not developed an immune system, it will be hard for their bodies to fight the germs that gave them a cold. This means there is a higher chance that the illness may turn into something more dangerous or life threatening, such as croup or pneumonia. Medical treatment can help to prevent this.
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.
