64 What will happen if the diaper is not changed during the night? If your baby is comfortably asleep, you may not want to disturb the baby by changing the diaper at night. However, if the baby passes urine frequently and the diaper appears soaked, it is a good idea to change the diaper after 3-4 hours or as required. If left for too long, the wetness from the diaper can irritate the delicate skin of the area and cause rashes and redness. What can I apply to prevent rashes? The skin area around the diaper region is very delicate and can be easily irritated by the acidity of urine and stool. Applying a barrier cream to the diaper region is a good practice before putting the diaper on the baby. Use any good nappy rash cream around the region, including the sides and folds of the thigh, before putting on a clean diaper. This may be done every time the diaper is changed.
