Diaper rash--any tips?

here's a bump for you.

i'm no help with 'sposies diapering. we switched to cloth which eliminated DDs rashes. we also use lil outlaws rump rub, works wonders and now even my 'sposie-using friends buy it instead of desitin and A&D stuff, since it heals and protects :D

 

I found that only Bordeaux's Buttpaste ever worked on my guys...you can only get it in the US (I'm Canadian) and it's always worked really well.  I just ran out and had to get some other junk and it barely works.  (I've ordered the Buttpaste online just hasn't gotten here yet!)

I haven't dealt with many diaper rashes, but when my son gets one, I prefer A&D ointment.

 I love Butt Paste! lol my 7 month old recently developed his first ever rash. It wasn't bad at all but the Butt Paste works really good. It smells good too. I usually apply Butt Paste and then Johnson's Baby Powder and it keeps him dry. Since I have a boy I wipe it on his butt, in between his buttcheeks, on his privates, and in the folds of skin between his legs and privates.  I don't know where all u can put it on a girl though. Tell your MIL that your baby needs to be changed or at least checked for a wet diaper every hour-and to change it even if it seems only a little bit wet. I know sometimes my son's diapers will seem only a little wet when I check from the outside but are actually more wet then they initially seemed when I change it right after checking.

I used Aquaphore. It is awesome. My son would get diaper rashes when my MIL or SIL would watch him too, I still think they dont change his daiper enough. But that always worked. I tried Desetin and it sucked , it never worked . Also now my son has some dry, cracked skin and I use that on it and it helps that too.

When my little one has a rash, I use the purple tube of Desitin over the blue.  It works a lot better.  I've never had a serious rash though.

i use calmoseptine it works better than anything i have ever used. its a little pricey though bout $7 tube. its not prescription but many places dont stock it. you have to go to the pharmacy and have them order it for you.    www.calmoseptine.com

take some white flour put it in a baking pan and fry it tell it is brown let it cool down and put it on every diaper change and by morning it will be almost healed. no joke

If she is spreading on a thick layer of paste that would totally cause the rash by itself even if she was changing him all the time. It traps in moisture and causes the problem. The nurse told me to rub in a very thin layer until its rubbed in completely, let it air dry as often as possible, and use a wash-cloth until its healed instead of wipes (which can irritate the skin). 

Also, maybe tell your MIL that since your baby has been getting such bad rashes--you want her changed every hour and tell her to just apply a tiny amount of butt cream and rub it in. Hopefully that will help. Also, I love Bordeaux Butt Paste too! Its awesome!

GL! :D

Try yogurt it's good for diaper rash. I've used b-4 works. Good Luck!!!
