Loose Clothing for Baby Heat Rash
When a baby contracts a heat rash, it can be very beneficial to ensure that they aren't wearing clothes that restrict or cause friction against their skin. Clothes made from natural fibers are typically softer and more breathable, allowing for more comfort for the baby.
Loosening a child's diaper can also provide some relief. If possible, allow the child to go without a diaper, perhaps outside. This freedom can also offer more comfort when a rash is itchy or sore.
