Recently my baby started getting a heat rash, which was small at first but started to spread more and more all over his body. When I first started to appear red spots on my baby's skin, I used a special diaper rash cream for my baby but didn't see much change, especially at noon when the climate is a bit hotter. The redder it is, the more uncomfortable the baby starts to be and cry more (because the baby is itchy). After a few days, the red spots on the baby's skin became more and more serious, I was very worried, and went to ask experienced people in baby care like my cousins, and I was guided by them. Green tea leaves to bathe the baby. I have tried it and there is really a noticeable change after the first bath, the baby's skin starts to calm down in the red spots, the baby starts to feel less uncomfortable, sleeps better. And after 2 weeks of continuous bathing once a day combined with applying diaper rash cream for the baby after bathing, and the baby's skin was much better. And I want to share this with those of you who have young children, I hope it helps your children.
