Based on the provided information, it is recommended to use diaper cream with each diaper change.
According to the reference, it is advised to "Apply ointment liberally as often as necessary, with each diaper change". This practice is particularly important especially at bedtime or any time when exposure to wet diapers may be prolonged.
Using a diaper cream like DESITIN® Maximum Strength Original Paste or DESITIN® Rapid Relief Cream with every change helps to create a protective barrier on the baby's skin. This barrier helps shield the skin from moisture and irritants found in urine and feces, which can contribute to diaper rash.
Key points from the guidance include:
- Frequency: Apply with each diaper change.
- Amount: Apply liberally; don't be concerned about using too much.
- Specific Times: Especially important at bedtime or when wet diaper exposure might be longer.
Following these recommendations can help keep your baby's skin protected and healthy.
