Breastfeeding with mother, sometimes farting a bit of stool, usually a bit loose stool, buttocks are red, there are 2 places of broken skin for 3 or 4 days.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello, because the child has had frequent bowel movements, it will definitely cause discomfort to the little buttocks. It is recommended to avoid wrapping the little buttocks too tightly while ensuring the child does not get cold. When cleaning the buttocks, it is best to use water. If using a cloth, avoid rubbing and instead gently press. It is important to be very gentle to prevent the delicate skin from easily breaking.
Suggestions for Prevention: To prevent this type of diaper rash, you can apply a layer of ointment to the little buttocks after each cleaning, such as tetracycline ointment or even eye ointment. Additionally, make sure to change the diaper promptly and let the buttocks air out to avoid irritation from ammonia released during the breakdown of urine and feces.
