Help diaper rash suggestions

desitine is good after a diaper change and good cleaning. Have it on them while the diaper is being worn to protect against moisture. What really helped my kids was a soak in a baking soda bath. draw a shallow bath and put a about 1/8 cup or more of baking soda. Then just let them go with out a diaper for a while around the house. Some times good old fresh air is a wonderful thing.

Many babies are sensitive to the chemicals they use to make that aborbant stuff inside disposable diapers. My son is one of them. We switched to cloth and within a day his rash was gone, and this was after trying every cream and disposable diaper on the market. Now cloth diapers today aren't like the ones our mothers used, I've never touched a pin or dunked a poopy diaper in the toilet. www.diaperpin.com has a directory of cloth diaper stores. I use mostly fuzzi bunz. If you have any questions if you are interested (I don't sell cloth diapers, so I'm not a spammer, just a huge advocate) let me know!

You could try using Cetaphil cleanser to clean her skin, first you wipe the diaper area clean with towel or baby wipes, then you apply a s little Cetaphil cleanser and leave for a minute before rinsing or wiping with wet towel. After that you can apply a diaper cream like Desitin or Drapolene, if you want you can apply baby powder or cornstarch too.

Well, i have had this problem on a couple of occasions - you can always try cloth nappies - much cheaper but they do need more frequent changing & it does make more washing for you :) I ended up trying some of the cheap brands of nappies & they seemed to work very well (i was in huggies but they leaked coz they seemed to be too big). A bath always seemed to help with nappy rash & you can pick up just about ANY cream from you pharmacy - that contains zinc. Nappy rash is caused by bacteria so you could also try an anti-fungal cream coz they work well too :) Good luck fixing the problem & don't worry too much, it's very common & very easy to fix! Ooooh - when bub has nappy rash - give extra nappy free time, to dry out the area coz it's the moistness that causes the problem!

The one thing I can swear by when treating diaper rash (and trust me, I've seen my fair share of it) is A+D ointment. It works wonders on my kids. Stay clear of Johnsons No More Rash, as this stuff was just a waste of money for me and did nothing to treat the rash or relieve my childs comfort. Good luck!

If the rash gets bad enough,or persists for more than a few days.. call your baby's doctor. Sometimes rashes are mistaken for yeast infections and needed to be treated accordingly.

I don't know if you've already found a solution for this or not, but I've found that Aveeno Diaper rash cream works great! I also liked the Butt Paste that many have refferred to here, it worked well for my oldest, not so great for the youngest. Another thing, when my son's is bad, many times I'll let him be naked for awhile, laying on a waterproof pad, maybe put in her favorite video, and let her sit naked for an hour. It'll help. Good luck!

i'm with mememomma that i use cloth diapers. whenever we have a rash issue, which is now rare...i use a raw silk (silk noil) liner. no creams and nothing artificial against his skin...i always advise using just water on a washcloth instead of disposable wipes (which have irritating chemicals) at every diaper change and if you need a lil something for the messy diapers just use a mild babysoap on the washcloth. i find that cloth diapers really do keep the rashes away but my son was one of the rare ones even alergic to many of the cloth diapers. i have to use the ones with cotton instead of the polyester fabrics inside. i started making them and i sell them as a WAHM. they really aren't much work. one extra load of laundry every 2 days, with less detergent (detergent can irritate), no fabric softeners or dryer sheets, and no bleach....that's it. and the savings...well figure a child from 10-25lbs usually wears all the same size so that's about 20 diapers for 2 days....so the cost of 20 cloth diapers as opposed to the cost of disposables every week from the time they are about 2 months to about 1 yr (that's about 40 wks) u figure what u would spend on your brand....then the price of the cloth diapers is about $250 for the top brands...u can definately get them for under $100 if u are willing to go cheaper and/or used.
