My son has yet to develop any kind of diaper rash. There are three things I've done that I think have helped in preventing diaper rash.

#1 I do not feed my child any sort of fast food. I'm careful about what I feed him and try to keep him clear of all junk food. I think it's a very bad idea to feed your baby any food from some place like McDonalds. That should be common sense but people are so used to eating at places like that, that they think it might be OK for their baby too. It's not really the best idea for you and it's definitely not OK for your child.

#2 Every night after his bath I put Balmex on his tushy.

#3 I change his diaper every time he eats.

I believe if you follow these same three methods you will greatly decrease the chance of your own baby developing diaper rash.
