Air time for baby bums: study tests best diaper rash recovery
NCT ID NCT07268352
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving babies more frequent diaper-free breaks helps heal diaper rash and makes moms feel more confident. 130 infants with mild rash were split into two groups: one had 5 minutes of air exposure 6 times a day, the other 12 times a day. Researchers tracked rash healing and mothers' confidence levels.
