How do I treat and prevent diaper rash?

i found coconut oil to be really effective while treating diaper rash. you have to wash the area gently and pat it dry very softly. next, take some virgin coconut oil and apply it nicely over the entire area, so that it becomes nourished. let your baby be without a diaper or even a cloth nappy for some time. you can do this at least 5 to 8 times a day, coconut oil will not be harmful at all. to prevent diaper rash, avoid putting your baby in the diaper as much as you can
