Diaper-free time is helpful to get over the rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158545 Mon, 14 May 2012 20:30:31 +0000 skibobrown 158545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard that triple paste works wonders. Personally I've been using coconut oil to prevent diaper rash, and so far so good. I just put a little bit on her bum after each diaper change. She smells like a tropical drink and NO diaper rash. Also, coconut oil is cloth-diaper friendly if you're planning on using cloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158447 Mon, 14 May 2012 19:10:20 +0000 mrs. wagon 158447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Triple Paste is our favorite. It's expensive but totally worth it. Whenever you find a coupon or cheap price just stock up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158445 Mon, 14 May 2012 19:09:36 +0000 mrs. wagon 158445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: aww thanks for linking my entry :) Definitely key are: no wipes, just water and COMPLETELY dry before applying rash cream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158363 Mon, 14 May 2012 18:11:48 +0000 regberadaisy 158363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't seem as red now and she finally went down for a nap after I put a size1 on her. I wonder if I was overreacting. But def still getting the Desitin and using a cloth for the next little while. We'll see what my husband thinks.</p> <p>I tried the towel trick and she pooped on it while I was letting her bum air dry!!! </p> <p>So glad she finally went down for a nap at 5:30. She hadn't had one since waking at 9:30am :(</p> <p>I think I'll order the triple paste from amazon and try that too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158154 Mon, 14 May 2012 15:15:44 +0000 heffalump 158154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww your poor lo! My lo has diaper rash since she started teething. She's in cloth so she has special diaper rash cream. Our doctor said to just wipe with water and a soft cloth, no wipes. And make sure it's dry before diapering her, she even said we could use the hair dryer on low. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158147 Mon, 14 May 2012 15:11:18 +0000 Mrsbells 158147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah we didnt use wipes for the 1st couple of weeks at the advice of the hospital, we just used warm water with a cloth. I also use earth mama angel baby bottom balm on her butt, its supposed to be really good for diaper rash and is all natural. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158143 Mon, 14 May 2012 15:09:20 +0000 mrs. bird 158143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you're going to buy something, i love triple paste! it's a little more $$ than desitin, but it seems to clear things up much faster. also, you can try wiping with one of those cotton rounds you use for taking off nail polish/ removing eye make up with baby oil on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158135 Mon, 14 May 2012 15:03:20 +0000 MsMini 158135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wipes are sometimes the issue (many contain alcohol or other cleansers and/or fragrance), you could try water and wash cloths until the rash clears up, wipe with a cloth with just water, and then wipe to dry. When Sawyer had his first rash, I also laid with him on a towel and no diaper for 20-30 minutes a couple times per day (it was dangerous, but did work). I got a cortisone/anti-fungal cream from our doctor, and layered that under Desitin, and that cleared it all up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158105 Mon, 14 May 2012 14:49:14 +0000 WiLLoWtReE 158105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before we started using our cloth diapers I noticed DDs bottom was starting to get really red so I went ahead and switched to the cloth and started using Grovia magic stick on her bottom. Every now and then if it starts looking red again ill use the magic stick and it seems to knock out the redness and irritation in a day or so. It's nice bc its a stick also. Just rub it on and no messy fingers for you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158096 Mon, 14 May 2012 14:46:17 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 158096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my go-to for diaper rash treatments: <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/03/08/diaper-rash/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/03/08/diaper-rash/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158076 Mon, 14 May 2012 14:32:02 +0000 kiddosc 158076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO isn't here yet, but my SIL swears by adding baking soda to the baby's bath along with using the diaper cream. Her doctor recommended it and it really helped my nephew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158064 Mon, 14 May 2012 14:15:34 +0000 chopsuey 158064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( I think you've got it covered--bigger diaper, make sure she's dry before putting the diaper back on, and apply power/diaper rash cream.<br /> Hope it clears up soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158063 Mon, 14 May 2012 14:15:20 +0000 winniebee 158063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have read that air drying the bum after wiping and before you put the diaper on is the way to go. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-lo-has-a-diaper-rash#post-158059 Mon, 14 May 2012 14:14:12 +0000 regberadaisy 158059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think.</p> <p>I wish I can take the pain away for her! Her butt is red and she cries bloody murder when I wipe her. :(<br /> Currently using Burt's bees ointment but I think I will have my husband stop and get Desitin when he gets out of work.<br /> I think also her NB diapers are getting too small and chafing so bumping her to size1 today.<br /> Previously we were not drying her after wipes. I think we need to start doing that.</p> <p>Any other tips to quickly cure the diaper rash and prevent in the future?</p> <p>I want to cry every time she's in pain!! :( </p>
