How common is diaper rash?
Diaper rash is very common. All infants develop a diaper rash at some time or another; some even arrive home from the hospital with a slight rash. Still, diaper rash may be more common after solid foods are added to your baby’s diet or when your baby is taking antibiotics. Other factors that can lead to diaper rash include continuously wet or infrequently changed diapers, diarrhea and the use of plastic pants to cover a diaper.
