Because babies cannot control their excretion on their own, sometimes if their diaper gets dirty and not replaced in a timely manner, it can easily cause their baby to have a red butt.

1. Keep skin dry and dry
If the temperature or room temperature conditions permit, the diaper can be placed under the buttocks to fully expose them to the air or sunlight, 2-3 times a day for 10-20 minutes each time. Generally, the red buttocks can recover within 1-2 days.

2、 What's wrong with a 3-year-old baby's red butt
1. The diaper is not changed in a timely manner.
Babies absorb and excrete quickly. A baby needs to urinate about 10-14 times a day. If the diaper is not changed in a timely manner after each wet urination, it can cause the skin on the baby's buttocks to be exposed to moisture and heat for a long time, resulting in diaper rash.
2. Poor cleaning of the little butt.
Some novice mothers, due to lack of experience, fail to clean their babies' little buttocks in a timely manner, while others over clean and damage the natural sebum protective film on their babies' little buttocks, allowing some bacteria and dirt to take advantage. So, parents should clean their babies in moderation. Cleaning too much or too little can harm their delicate little buttocks.
3. Physiological diarrhea or breast milk diarrhea.
Some babies may experience diarrhea due to lactose intolerance or various reasons, and the irritants in their feces and urine can also cause their buttocks to turn red. If a baby has diarrhea, parents must do a good job of cleaning their little buttocks.
4. Allergy.
Due to the fact that some babies have an allergic constitution, and some mothers use diapers containing a high amount of synthetic fibers, or frequently use cleaning solutions, wet wipes, and other items containing irritating ingredients, causing skin allergies on their baby's buttocks, this is also one of the reasons for red buttocks.
If a baby's red buttocks are found, the mother should first reflect on whether she did not replace the baby's diaper in a timely manner. If so, she should replace it frequently in the future. In addition, she should also consider whether the baby is allergic to this diaper material. If so, she should replace the diaper brand in a timely manner.
