Treating and preventing nappy rash
Red bumps on your baby's bottom may mean nappy rash. It can be caused by many factors, including leaving urine or bowel movement on the skin too long between changing nappies or even as a result of taking antibiotics. And when your baby starts solid foods, wait a few days between introducing each new food to see if the rash was caused by a particular food.

Finding the right size
Just like you, babies like to wear things that fit just right. Choose a size that does not sag or gap, even as your baby crawls and plays. This will help prevent leaks. Each product description on this site gives guidelines that represent the average weight for a particular size. And remember, when you move up a size, you gain absorbency.

Weighing babies
The easiest way to weigh your baby is to first hop on the scale yourself. See how much you weigh, then see how much you weigh when you hold your baby. If you subtract your weight, you'll know how much your baby weighs.

Nappy safety
You buy the latest toys and babies wind up playing with silly things - like nappies. It's important to keep nappies where they should be, on your baby's bottom. Don't let your baby put the nappy in her mouth. Discard any nappy that has become torn or unsealed, and read the warning label on all bags.

Nappy gel facts
AGM is the absorbent gelling material widely used in nappy padding to absorb wetness. It is perfectly normal to see some gel on the skin from time to time, especially if the nappy is heavily saturated. It can easily be removed by wiping your baby's skin.

Waste removal
As the Pampers bag recommends, you'll want to dump bowel movements in the toilet. Then just roll the nappy into its backsheet, using the tape or fasteners to keep it closed, and dispose of it in the trash.

Nappy storage
Store your nappies in an area protected from extreme heat and humidity and away from products with fragrances. We recommend the nappy be kept in a dry storage area where the temperature is 85 degrees or less.
