Some babies never even get diaper rash. Wagon Jr. had really bad stubborn diaper rash that was REALLY bad when he had diarrhea. I tried many different creams but Triple Paste was the only one that would keep the rash at bay. Basically anything that has a high zinc oxide concentration will do this. It creates a barrier so wetness can't get through to the raw skin. </p> <p>People gave me suggestions... Boudreaux's Butt Paste actually aggravated his rash and made it spread!!!! </p> <p>LMW has never had a rash yet! Just a little redness. She only poops like twice a week. Wagon Jr. pooped 4-5 times a day sometimes. Between every feeding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-552880 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:28:09 +0000 mrslace 552880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our baby got diaper rash the first week of his life, but at the time my MIL was taking care of him during the day and she didn't really notice it. I took care of him at night so we generally kept the lights low so I didn't see it. One day, she wanted to go to the market so I was changing his diaper in the day and noticed that the skin was completely RAW! I was so upset with her for not seeing it in the daytime and for myself for not noticing it at night. We washed his bottom and let him air dry EVERY diaper change for about a month. We tried butt paste, desitin, flander's, A&amp;D, Aquaphor and nothing helped. It just got worse and worse. After about 6 weeks of this, our friend's nanny overheard us talking about it and suggested Triple Paste. I'd never heard of it, but rushed off to buy a tub and within ONE WEEK, it was all healed. The high zinc oxide content is what did it. So now, we use triple paste all the time. It is pricey, but I found it was cheapest at Target. It's 18.99 for a larger tub than the $23 or $24 tub at CVS and Babies'r'Us. Target has a $3 off coupon and they have $2 off coupons at my pediatricians office. The tub lasts a long time though and I use a Qtip to apply it which helps cut down on waste. Your pediatrician might have samples too. I discovered later my ped. had given us a sample, but we never tried it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-552818 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 18:15:29 +0000 BabyBruins 552818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might be the only person who doesn't like Boudreaux's Butt Paste. I have had much faster and better results with Aveeno diaper rash cream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-552731 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:22:52 +0000 immabeetoo 552731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried Boudreaux's naturals, earth angel mama baby, coconut oil, CJS butt butter.. the only thing that made an ounce of difference (and wow did it ever!!) was triple paste. so we use that for a rash and preventatively overnight :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-552389 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:38:34 +0000 loveisstrange 552389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coconut oil and Butt Paste! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-552094 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 12:28:35 +0000 shopaholic 552094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: I lurve everything Mustela! Smells so good and doesn't affect my eczema or allergies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551550 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 08:27:41 +0000 Sammyfab 551550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use whatever! Haha. For the most part, they're all the same ingredients (the big brands at least) and when my LO gets a slight diaper rash any brand has managed to clear it up within a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551487 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 05:39:24 +0000 hellobeeboston 551487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Mustela's diaper rash cream -'it smells great, has a great texture too--- it's pricey, but LO is 3.5 months and we haven't finished a whole tube yet. </p> <p>We don't put it on every time, just when we see some redness starting. I didn't end up using Desitin because it has parabens, I read a few things about that that made me want to avoid if I knew it was in something.</p> <p>We also have Boudreaux's butt paste but I don't love it - it separates and is oily/messy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551465 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 03:21:20 +0000 Sweet T 551465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Desitin Maximum Strength. DS is 17 months old and we're on our third tube (one of them was thrown away by accident). Fortunately, we haven't had too many diaper rashes. We only use it for treatment, not a preventative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551452 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:22:54 +0000 SAHM0811 551452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Triple Paste and Burt's Bee's for redness/rashes. </p> <p>We use coconut oil everyday. EMAB bottom balm was ok, but not for the price since coconut oil is cheaper and just as effective. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551421 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:18:31 +0000 shopaholic 551421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! Thanks ladies! I didn't realize that it's common practice to put cream on as a preventative or daily thing? I think I will get a small size of the Earth Mama Angel &amp; a small one of Triple Paste and see how they all work out! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551362 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:50:36 +0000 T-Mom 551362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With 2 kids, I am still going through cream I received from my first LO. We really havent had too much diaper rash (knock on wood). I think I have bought one tube of desitin while I was traveling and needed some. The rest (a&amp;d, Boudreaux, Aveeno) were gifts from DD and I use them all interchangeably. I also agree with using coconut oil as preventative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551359 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:47:35 +0000 owlmom 551359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Earth Mama Angel Baby Bottom Balm. It's stupid expensive for what seems like a tiny jar, but LO is almost 16 months old and we just started our third jar. We use it every night before bed and any time she has any redness. It seems to work really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551358 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:46:56 +0000 pastemoo 551358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at 8 months we've hardly put a dent in one tube... so if you find something that works you still probably don't need to stock up!<br /> i live in 2 places so we have 1 in each place<br /> 1 arbonne baby rash cream<br /> 1 cjs butter </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551335 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:26:52 +0000 LaineysMom 551335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Angel Baby Bottom Balm, but only use it once in a while. I got kind of lazy.. and LO hasn't had any diaper rash.. We used to use Desitin and it worked well as a preventative.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551277 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:32:32 +0000 NerdBee 551277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We like sudocreme. Its not too thick, applies well and works great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551252 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:17:40 +0000 hilsy85 551252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Triple paste is awesome to actually clear up a rash. For everyday we use aqua phor or earth mama angel baby bottom balm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551248 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:15:07 +0000 autumnlove 551248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Triple Paste when LO has a rash. I use CJ's Butter for cloth diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551247 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:13:40 +0000 MamaG 551247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dr Smith's. It's the best! We only use when needed (which isn't often). We also don't use any sort of cream on a daily basis as a preventative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551218 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:57:08 +0000 cascademom 551218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Desitin and Boudreaux's. I like them both. I only really care about his butt cream when he's got diaper rash. Otherwise, creamy Desitin is our standby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551202 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:52:41 +0000 sunshineandsushi 551202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Triple Paste is awesome! I originally only bought the small tube to see how good it worked. We're already through about half of it with our boys in four days, but that's with applying it thickly after every diaper change trying to get rid of their rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551194 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:49:50 +0000 CarrieLouWho 551194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Balmex and Aquaphor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551187 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:48:13 +0000 matador84 551187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think corona ointment is the absolute best. we have a tub and lo is 5 months old, never had diaper rash and plenty of cream still left. we got a boatload of diaper rash creams with gifts but i have found that to be my fav! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551181 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:46:37 +0000 prettylizy 551181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use coconut oil regularily and occasionly if she gets a little red, we opt for sudocreme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551179 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:46:30 +0000 Bao 551179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Desitin and I think as far as how much you go through, depends on if you use it every time. We only use it after she poops and sometimes after her baths. We are on our 3rd tube (the larger size) and she is 5 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551175 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:45:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 551175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't had issues with diaper rash but we love coconut oil as prevention!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-cream-brands#post-551171 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:44:34 +0000 shopaholic 551171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What brand(s) of diaper rash cream/ointments did you/your LO like best?</p> <p>I have already received BabyGanics, Boudreaux's Butt Paste, and Desitin.
