Diaper rash ointment

[wdw4us]

My daughter could not wear any kind of disposable diapers it gave her a horrible rash.

The day care she went to used cloth diapers and that was the trick. All week long she'd be in cloth diapers and on Monday when she came in with her diaper rash, the director would change her into cloth, put vaseline on her and by Friday she'd be clear. She told me to try the cloth on the weekends. It worked, no more rash.

So, my advice, cloth diapers and vaseline until the rash is gone.

You can pretty much get that anywhere, it's cheap and probably better for you.

This was no ordinary rash either, by the time I stopped the pampers, she had sores that were cracked and bleeding. Within days it was gone.

When one of my DD's was in the hospital for dehydration the nurses were using Aquaphor for her bottom. I used it all the time after that, really worked especially when it was bad.

The only time it didnt' work were a couple of times once when it was a yeast infection & once bacterial. Those times I had to use it along with lotrimin or antibacterial cream.

I agree with many other posters. See the doctor, this could very well be a yeast infection. If she is breastfeeding, she is going to want to take care of that immediately so she doesn't end up with thrush.

When my son was a baby--he had TERRIBLE diaper rash. Balmex, A&D, and even prescription meds didn't get rid of it. Finally someone clued us in to THE BEST CURE FOR DIAPER RASH:

It is a product called BAG BALM. It comes in a green tin and looks a bit like vaseline--only it is thicker. Most drug stores carry it.

It is actually a procuts vets use on cows utters--but don't let that scare you---it is perfectly safe for babies.

Have her try it--she wont be sorry.

I'm a fan of A&D as well. I am also an RN and use it frequently on my elderly patients whpo are prone to skin breakdown. It does a great job of keeping things "nice" down there!!!
