I heard air helps diaper rash. Does letting my baby go without a diaper for part of the day really speed up healing?

Air exposure is one of the most recommended methods for treating diaper rash. When skin gets air, moisture dries and irritated areas heal faster. But air time alone isn't enough—changing diapers frequently, cleaning gently, drying thoroughly, and using a protective rash cream (zinc oxide) all work together. You can start with diaper-free time of 10–15 minutes several times a day and extend it as your baby responds. If the rash doesn't improve in 2–3 days, or if you see fluid-filled bumps, inflammation, or fever, ask your pediatrician.
