Possibilities include disposable wipes, anew brand of diaper, or a new brand of detergent, fabric softener or bleachused in the laundry.

Wash all new clothing before your baby wears itfor the first time.Sensitive skin. If your baby's skin is sensitive change diapers frequently,washing the area with clear water each time. Allow your baby's bottom to airdry. And use a soothing ointment any time pinkness occurs.Bacterial or yeast infection.
