Nappy Rash
My new born baby girl is 16 days old today. Her nappy rash looks bright red. We make her wear diapers only at night which we change after every 3-4 hrs and in the day we make her wear cotton nappies.. tried applying baby powder and coconut oil on her rash but still the condition of hasn't improved a bit. What should I apply to treat this?
