In summer heat, changing diapers more frequently than usual is more important—every 2-3 hours and always after a bowel movement. Letting your baby go bare-bottomed for short periods also works well: allow 10-15 minutes a few times a day for air exposure. Using lukewarm water and a soft cloth instead of wet wipes protects skin without irritation. Zinc oxide barrier creams keep moisture away from the skin by creating a protective seal. Cotton, loose-fitting diapers are better for summer than tight ones. If redness doesn't clear within a few days or looks blistered and inflamed, see your pediatrician.
