Diaper rash waking your baby at night is tough on both of you. When you change his diaper, clean his bottom gently with cotton and warm water (instead of wipes if possible) and dry it thoroughly—being gentle and quick matters. Before bed, apply a protective diaper rash cream (zinc oxide types work as a barrier). Don't fasten the diaper too snugly; a larger size may let air circulate better. If he wakes up crying, change the diaper and reapply cream—keep light low and stay calm to minimize waking.
If the rash doesn't clear in 3–4 days, you see blisters or yellow discharge, ask your pediatrician.
