Diaper cream should definitely be present in every baby's cosmetic bag.
It goes without saying that the parents, most often mothers, are responsible for his choice.
But even the most responsible adults are not always aware that there is no universal product that would suit all children without exception.
When looking for diaper cream, you should keep in mind the purpose for which you need it.
If there are no problems with the baby's skin and the cream is needed as a preventative measure, you will need a composition that is easily absorbed and does not prevent the skin from breathing, but at the same time forms a barrier that will protect the baby's skin from external irritants.
In the same case, when the cream is supposed to heal diaper rash and soothe irritated skin, it is recommended to use a product with zinc and other additives for drying.
In general, in such a situation it is worth contacting a pediatrician or dermatologist.
A specialist will tell you which cosmetics are best suited for your particular situation.
Your doctor may even recommend changing your diaper brand or stopping using them for a while.
And one more important point: do not rush to buy a large package at once.
It may also happen that the cream is not suitable for your child.
To make sure that using the product will not harm your baby in any way, first do a small test: apply a little cream to the inside of your forearm or shin and after 1-2 hours check how the skin feels in these areas.
If there is no redness or irritation, the cream can be applied under the diaper.
