Diaper Rash is never welcome on any mom’s home.. or baby’s bottom to be exact. I am lucky that with four kids, I never experienced diaper rash. For one, we don’t use diapers that often and if we do, I always make sure that the bottom is clean (using Johnson’s® Baby Wipes and applies Johnson’s® baby powder after changing.
I have learned from Dr. Dizon of the Pediatric Dermatology Society of the Philippines that any healthy baby skin can be compromised due to the following factors:
- Excess skin wetness
- Feces and fecal enzymes
- Interaction of feces and urine
- Increased pH leading to greater fecal enzymes and activity and
- increased skin permeability
And may lead to diaper rash because of the following factors:
- Fecal enzymes
- Skin friction
- Candida albicans (yeast infection)
- Unidentified chemical irritants
Dr. Dizon also made some points on the cleansing regimen such as the incidence of diaper rash using just water and wash cloth alone is higher vs. using wipes with emollient and that use of powder is beneficial.
Yes powder, talc, which was recently classified as “not classifiable as a human carcinogen” by the US American Congress of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).
Cleaning for your baby’s bottom has been simplified with three steps, The Johnson’s® Baby Complete Care Diaper System™. An easy way to help protect your baby against diaper rash:
Step 1: Wipe
It is important to remember that not all wipes are the same. Johnson’s® Baby Skincare Wipes effectively protects your baby’s bottom because it doesn’t just clean, it helps prevent diaper rash like a diaper cream.
Step 2: Powder
Johnson’s® Baby Complete Care powder repels wetness by keeping pee and poop from touching the baby’s bottom. It also soothes rashes and helps reduce friction, giving baby complete protection from diaper rash.
Step 3: Change
Regular diaper changing every 3-4 hours is important to keep baby’s bottom clean and dry to minimize skin rashes and irritation in the diaper area.
For new moms and soon to be mommies, Johnson’s® Baby Complete Care Diaper System™ is a big help in terms of diaper rash management. Oh well, Johnson’s® was like mom’s partner in raising a child, my 9 year old boy still uses Johnson’s® Baby products (from shampoo to bath to cologne!).

October 24, 2012 at 12:40 amDiaper rash makes babies feel very uncomfortable. I’m glad my daughter didn’t suffer from diaper rash because I use JnJ products for her.

October 24, 2012 at 10:21 amWhen my kids are still babies, they only use only one brand, Johnson’s product. Both have sensitive skin but never had a chance to experience diaper rash. Siguro, if I remember, minor rashes lang and last only for a day.

October 31, 2012 at 9:35 pmI’m allergic to powder, so when my kids were babies, I used petroleum jelly instead of powder {as per my pedia’s advise of course :D} and it worked, they never had rashes. 😀
Everything is easy nowadays, I feel kind of cheated, new moms are getting by fine while I almost got bald trying to make my “mommy instincts” kick in fast so I can cope with motherhood. LOL 😀
