Babies can have a ton of little issues, and we worry ourselves silly over them, though most are no real threat to babys health. Here are a list of the most common little ailments, how to treat them at home, and when to call the doctor.
Diaper Rash Diaper rash is caused by babys bottom being constantly exposed to wetness. For most babies, changing their diaper a little more often and applying an over the counter cream are enough to solve the problem. If all your measures dont work, or if the rash looks different than a typical diaper rash, call the doctor.
Cradle Cap Cradle cap is the presence of scales on the babys scalp, and usually occurs in very young infants. It is actually a form of dermatitis, and usually is not bothersome to the child. For most babies, a massage using petroleum jelly followed by a shampoo will take care of the problem. Try this at every bath until the problem stops recurring. Cradle cap is worsened by sweating, so keep your babys head cool, avoiding the use of hats. If these measures dont work, your doctor can prescribe an ointment or shampoo. Babies typically outgrow cradle cap within the first six months of life.
