General information about diaper rash, sore buttocks, thrush
Your baby’s bottom is very sensitive and particularly susceptible to inflammation. Irritant substances from the environment or from breast milk (e.g. spices), an allergy to plastic diapers or a slight immune deficiency can easily attack the delicate skin. The warm and humid environment of the diaper offers fungi (thrush) and bacteria the perfect breeding ground. If the skin becomes inflamed, it becomes reddish, flaky, weeping, blisters and pustules form. She may also start bleeding. To prevent inflammation or to relieve your baby’s sore buttocks, you can let your child lie and crawl around barefoot as often as possible. The fresh air below will do your child good. You should also make sure to change diapers frequently.
