Diaper Rash!!

Update: I have tried almost everything this weekend. So we have officially changed her diaper brand got a bigger size and am trying the Boudreaux cream. Hoping this works! If not we have her shots appointment on Friday.

My baby girl has been with a diaper rash these past few days, and it goes away when I put ointment’s I have tried 3 different ones and some work. Any tips?

Put breastmilk on it! If you don’t breastfeed there’s quite a few breastmilk donation pages on Facebook

I would pat it dry really good and air it out a little then apply the cream

Bodreaus extra strength or triple paste work wonders

let it air out just swaddle her in blankets (yes it gets super messy) but for like 30 mins- 1hr . also try going up a size in diaper so it’s less irritating for her! use vaseline to protect the skin😊 Hope she feels better🫶🏽

good luck 👍

when my son would get diaper rashes over and over again, i found that sizing his diaper up gave him a little more air and room to breathe down there! not sure if thats the case, but i hope this helps someone!

I agree that Calmoseptine works wonders fast too !

Have you tried MAIZENA (corn starch)? It’s perfect for the baby skin …

Switched baby wipes to water wipes. Prior to switching, used warm water and cotton balls/pads for cleaning. Dried area well with towel. Applied desitin after each change. This regimen healed my baby’s diaper rash after a few days.

We now just use water wipes, dry area with towel, and apply desitin with each change. No diaper rash since then!

Usually use boudreaux’s butt paste. Always pat dry before applying. Bath and mild soap pretty much every night.
If it’s not going away you could get a prescription from the dr. Just had to do that with my LO.
Unscented Epsom salt in bath for normal diaper rash or if it’s fungal then baking soda (1-2 tbsp).

@Briana ugh thank you! I was looking for a comment like this🙏 my daughter doesn't have rash but her diaper starting to look small to me on her and on her skin it's creating irriated lines all red alittle as if it's tight on her..I'm sad tho cause I have a whole box of 1s and now looks too small on her when the heck did she grow 🥲 only 7 weeks

yes I was using the pampers but we changed everything to the Millie moon brand hoping it works

we had this same issue, we tried multiple different creams and wipes finally landed on water wipes and Mustela Baby Diaper Rash Cream haven’t had a single issue since! Hope your little one gets some relief!

I love Triple Paste mixed with breastmilk or plain paste.
