Protect from wetness that causes diaper rash 

When your baby sleeps through the whole night, everybody rests. However, the long hours without a change will worry parents whose babies have experienced overnight diaper rash. 

Parents may want to wake their baby for a late-night diaper change, but there are easy steps to protect from wetness that causes diaper rash without disturbing anyone’s dreams. 

  • Clean and dry your baby’s skin before bed 

  • Apply a layer of DESITIN® Maximum Strength Diaper Rash Cream onto your baby’s bottom 

  • Use an overnight diaper that fits your baby and isn’t too tight 

  • Repeat nightly to help prevent diaper rash 

After a good night’s rest, start your baby’s day by cleaning their bottom gently, patting the area dry and reapplying a DESITIN® product to help protect during the day. 

Always call your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about your baby or their behavior.
