Parents And Health Care Professionals: Expert Advice For New Parents

As a parent, the relationship with your baby’s health care provider is one of the most important partnerships you can have. We regularly consult with leading professionals to ensure your baby’s health is prioritized in everything we do.

Below, we share expert advice addressing some of the most important topics in baby care:

“Diaper rash is a common problem many babies face—but it doesn’t need to be. Here are a few of my top tips for dealing with discomfort:

• Keep skin clean and pat it dry

• Change diapers regularly and use super-absorbent disposable diapers

• Expose skin to air frequently

• Gently clean skin with baby wipes

With these tips in mind, I frequently recommend Pampers as a high-quality option for all babies. Having carefully reviewed their research over many years, I am confident that Pampers has very high standards and meets every safety requirement, many times going beyond regulations given by the government and other organizations.”

—Christopher B. Peltier, President, Ohio Chapter American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and Pediatrician at Pediatric Associates of Mount Carmel, Inc.; Cincinnati, OH

“Your baby’s comfort while wearing a diaper is top of mind, especially as they grow and play. To make sure your baby is comfortable, you can:

• Ensure the diaper fits snug against the tummy

• Look for diapers that are super-absorbent and designed to keep wet mess off of baby’s skin

• Use wipes that have been designed to keep baby’s skin pH balanced, since more basic, water-based solutions can disrupt pH and cause irritation

A scientifically-backed diapering regimen can provide a comfortable experience for your infant, while preventing against leakage to keep their skin dry, healthy, and balanced.”

—Dr. Terri L. Major-Kincade, Neonatologist, Pediatrician, and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at UT Health Houston, McGovern Medical School; Houston, TX
