She is prone to rashes and I think this has helped keep them at bay. Maybe we'll try going without for a day or two and see if her skin holds up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-diaper-cream-your-baby-prophylactically#post-909135 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:33:11 +0000 beachbee 909135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use coconut oil as diaper cream and put it on LO every night before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-diaper-cream-your-baby-prophylactically#post-909087 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:10:36 +0000 lemondrop 909087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, he does fine without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-diaper-cream-your-baby-prophylactically#post-909073 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 21:59:45 +0000 Boheme 909073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is in cloth and I do a pea size amount of California Baby cream before bed now that he's starting to sleep longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-diaper-cream-your-baby-prophylactically#post-909041 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 21:31:36 +0000 pl0508 909041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only of red during the day but we use it every night since he stays in those dipes longer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-diaper-cream-your-baby-prophylactically#post-909026 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 21:24:33 +0000 bunnylove08 909026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aquaphor with every diaper change.

I figured, if she wasn't rashy, why change our system? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-diaper-cream-your-baby-prophylactically#post-908346 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 15:00:50 +0000 allison 908346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually use cream every night! He gets rashy really easily, though, if he poops. And sometimes he poops at night/in the morning before I change him, so it serves as a barrier to keep the poop from touching his skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-diaper-cream-your-baby-prophylactically#post-908339 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 14:58:53 +0000 katsupgirl 908339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use A&amp;D at every diaper change (especially diligent if it's overnight) and Desitin if she's red. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-diaper-cream-your-baby-prophylactically#post-908306 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 14:37:54 +0000 cmomma17 908306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when I see a little red, and that's not too often.

She almost never poops at night, and I am starting to question our habit.</p> <p>What do you do? Cream nightly, or just when rashy? </p>
