Do people really be out here not drying butts? (diaper changes)
Our 2yo has sensitive skin, so we've always been really particular about drying his butt during a diaper change before putting the new diaper on, and we haven't had much problem with diaper rash since he was only a few months old. But sometimes when he comes back from an afternoon with grandma and auntie, he'll have a good bit of diaper rash - well when we watch the change him, I noticed they don't bother to use the drying rag we include in the diaper change kit, just wipe clean and then strap up. We also got some friends with a similar age kid, and they also don't dry, but they are big fans of baby powder, and out some of that on with every change. Their kid is a little bit younger but it sounds like they deal with rash fairly often (despite less sensitive skin generally). So that brings me to the title - are people just really out here not drying butts? Is it weird that we always do? Is this not a normal part of the diaper change process? What do yall think?
