Home Remedies for Diaper Rash
 
  • Add 2 tbsp baking soda to a tub of warm water. Give your baby a sitz bath for 10 minutes, 2-3 times in a day.
  • Put some cornstarch into your hand and give your baby a nice patting with it. It not only dries damp areas, but also reduces friction caused by the elastic in diapers.
  • While giving you baby bath, add 1 tbsp dried oatmeal to it. It will soothe his skin and also protect it from the rash.
  • While washing your baby's diapers, add 1/2 cup white vinegar to the final rinse water. You can also add 1 part vinegar to 8 parts and use the solution to wipe his bottom.
  • In case of older infants, giving them 2 to 3 ounces of cranberry juice is a good idea.
  • After you clean your baby’s bottom, always make sure to dry it, not rub it, with a clean towel. Thereafter, leave him bare-bottomed for sometime and only then put on another diaper.
  • Give your baby a warm bath and apply some aloe-vera gel on his bottom. It will help soothe the bottom.
  • Take ½ tsp clean water and put 2-3 drops of olive oil in it. Gently massage your baby’s bottom with this solution.
  • Try massaging the bottom of your baby with fresh milk. It is one of the best home remedies for diaper rash.
