How to prevent rashes in new born baby?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sensitive skin: Newborns have very sensitive skin and many rashes are common, but not harmful. Clean her skin with clear water, using a mild baby soap and rinsing well. Do not use products with a lot of chemicals or perfumes. Avoid baby lotions and powder (talc). Keep her skin cool and dry- don't overdress and don't allow her to overheat.

Too broad: The question is very broad. Could you ask it again and be a little more specific. What kind of rash are you trying to prevent? Diaper, dry skin, illness?
