Oatmeal is both a healthy start to your day and a wonderful way to address skin discomfort. An oatmeal bath can help to treat diaper rash and promote healing without any kind of topical application. Add one tablespoon of dried oats to the bath water and let your baby happily soak in it for around 10 minutes. This solution will soothe your child's skin. Repeat twice a day to help with healing. In addition to a high-protein content, oatmeal also contains saponin, a compound that can help remove dirt and oils from the skin pores.
