Wipes that have alcohol or perfume diaper rash, Diaper wipes are a convenience that can come with a price: Many do contain chemicals that can be irritating to your baby's skin.
Then again, many babies do just fine with them. And the wipes themselves won't actually cause diaper rash. This kind of rash usually happens when you scrub the diaper area too briskly, whether with soap and water or diaper wipes, which wears away the normal skin barriers.
Remember that you don't need to wipe your baby's skin at all after she wets; just change her into a clean diaper. After a bowel movement, clean your baby with a soft washcloth and plain warm water. Use wipes only when you're away from home.
If your baby has diarrhea, I recommend a barrier cream, such as Vaseline, Desitin, Balmex, A & D, or any other similar cream, to protect the skin from the diarrhea. Don't try to remove the cream at each diaper change; just wipe off the obvious mess on the top layer and apply more.
