I feel like I finally mastered it without making a mess. I give him a paci he doesn't wiggle around and I can apply it with one finger (since his butt is so tiny!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2191015 Wed, 27 May 2015 18:30:19 +0000 Tanjowen 2191015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I used Aquaphor at every nap time and bedtime - anytime LO would be sitting in a diaper I couldn't check and change fast. Glad it cleared up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2191005 Wed, 27 May 2015 17:52:09 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2191005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: did you put the triple paste on then the aquaphor or the other way around? Just curious for next time mine gets one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2189393 Tue, 26 May 2015 11:52:00 +0000 bunnylove08 2189393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: my DD's tush was very sensitive, we use aquaphor with every change to help prevent diaper rash. I'm glad your LO's bottom is better </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2189357 Tue, 26 May 2015 11:38:19 +0000 macintosh 2189357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday afternoon I picked up some Triple Paste and Aquaphor. This morning, E's rash is practically gone! I won't be messing with anything else now. Do you guys do Aquaphor at each change for prevention? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188407 Mon, 25 May 2015 08:29:35 +0000 Smurfette 2188407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: this is the best stuff ever. We layer with Aquaphor and it is gone in a day.<br /> @Foodnerd81: Pampers gave LO a rash too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188399 Mon, 25 May 2015 07:47:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 2188399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor guy! I agree- no wipes, just soft paper towel and warm water. For airing out we used to lay her on a puppy wee wee pad- we have some cute photos of that. :)</p> <p>Even now at 22 months, pampers sensitive wipes give C a rash- even if I just used them on her hands or face she gets irritated. And when she was tiny pampers baby dry gave her a rash but now we use them no problem. Just throwing that out there in case you are using any of the same brands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188397 Mon, 25 May 2015 07:42:13 +0000 anbanan15 2188397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As much diaper free time as possible.</p> <p>Soft wipes, like thin baby wash cloths or cloth wipes with water only </p> <p>We had to use the calmoceptine mentioned above with my oldest. It was per the advice of our pediatrician and worked almost immediately. </p> <p>I would also probably take him to the doctor just to make sure there wasn't something I was missing, especially with him being so little, being in so much pain and this being his first rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188367 Mon, 25 May 2015 00:44:42 +0000 Mrs.Waffles 2188367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to my LO we tried several different ointments and the only one that worked for us was Bordeaux Extra Strength Butt Paste. What also helped, was making sure his bottom was completely dry before putting on a new diaper. Hope his diaper rash goes away soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188361 Mon, 25 May 2015 00:05:09 +0000 youboots 2188361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD had terrible diaper rash for 6 weeks.

I let him air out for a few extra minutes, then applied lotrimin, zinc, then Vaseline and we had minimal crying. I'll keep a peri bottle on the changing table and stop using wipes til it heals up. Thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188309 Sun, 24 May 2015 20:56:22 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2188309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't use wipes unless you need to for a poop. And yes to air dry!!</p> <p>My friends daughter had a brutal diaper rash but then was diaper free for a couple hours for a photo shoot (risky!) around 8 weeks and it went away so fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188306 Sun, 24 May 2015 20:53:25 +0000 Greentea 2188306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nature only wholesome diaper rash cream is the best.</p> <p>Honest company has a similar product you can get at target asap. Don't use wipes, let it air dry, hope LO feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188305 Sun, 24 May 2015 20:49:14 +0000 mrsrugbee 2188305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No-pants party. DD had very sensitive skin and developed stubborn eczema on her pubic area. Just buy a bunch of chux pads or cloth diapers and let the rash air out. It'll heal so much faster.</p> <p>Also when he gets dirty, wash him with water in the sink instead of wiping. The extra friction will damage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188290 Sun, 24 May 2015 20:15:27 +0000 ShootingStar 2188290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and oatmeal in the bath water helps a ton too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188287 Sun, 24 May 2015 20:13:48 +0000 ShootingStar 2188287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DS was tiny he had a yeast rash. The ped had us use cloth wipes and A&amp;D ointment. The A&amp;D helps to protect skin from contact with poop and makes wiping easier. The cloth wipes are also gentler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188281 Sun, 24 May 2015 20:10:00 +0000 macintosh 2188281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great tips everyone! I've tried the lotrimin the last few times I changed him, so I'll stick with it. I'm going to try wiping his bum with water only and allowing more time to let it dry. Bath time is soon, so I'm going to use a little baking soda again and no soap on the bottom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188280 Sun, 24 May 2015 20:10:00 +0000 travelgirl1 2188280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had very bad diaper rash in the beginning. We stopped using wipes and used cotton wool in warm water, then dabbed her bum dry with a baby washcloth after. Our dr said to use a zinc oxide cream with Vaseline on the top after every change. Ultimately she needed a prescribed cream to shift it but that routine definitely helped to keep it at bay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188276 Sun, 24 May 2015 19:59:58 +0000 FaithFertility 2188276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awwww I'm sorry!!!!<br /> We use aquaphor and I let her air it out and play daiper free every other day or so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188275 Sun, 24 May 2015 19:59:47 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2188275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Avoid using diaper wipes right now, that can make it worse. If you have just a squirt bottle you can squeeze water on it. I found that my favorite diaper rash cream is by Burts Bees. It is all natural and it is thicker and does a better barrier than the zinc or other ones I tried that seem to wipe off as soon as the diaper touches is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188274 Sun, 24 May 2015 19:58:54 +0000 blackbird 2188274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two friends of mine have had good success with this stuff: </p> [attach=618/15/novs26.338x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188273 Sun, 24 May 2015 19:57:52 +0000 hilsy85 2188273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had a lot of bad diaper rashes in the beginning--they just poop so often that it's hard to avoid the skin coming in contact with the poop. I would make sure his bottom is completely dry before a new diaper goes on, and I would do triple paste with aquaphor on top. It will clear up eventually! If wipes hurt him, try just a wet paper towel or piece of cloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188266 Sun, 24 May 2015 19:53:08 +0000 Tanjowen 2188266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through this and it was a reaction to the brand of diapers in was using. We switched to pampers swaddlers. I used damp warm washcloths to wipe him and a blow-dry error on low to dry everything out. And let him do a lot of tummy time sans diaper. We also used a lot of aquaphor and it cleared up over time.</p> <p>It might also be worth having the doctor check and make sure it's not a yeast infection to be safe. Hope the little guy heals quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-diaper-rash#post-2188265 Sun, 24 May 2015 19:51:15 +0000 mrbee 2188265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: Mrs. Wagon and Mrs. Stroller posted guides to preventing and treating diaper rash!</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/03/08/diaper-rash/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/03/08/diaper-rash/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/05/11/diaper-rash-drool-rash/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/05/11/diaper-rash-drool-rash/</a></p> <p>Sounds like you're doing a lot of their tips already, but they mention a few others too so maybe something will work!

It appeared overnight for the first time, so I started putting a zinc oxide cream on it and trying to change his diaper as often as possible. The poor little guy is in so much pain that he screams when I wipe him and apply the cream. I tried a short baking soda and lukewarm water soak earlier, which didn't seem to do anything. If anything, the rash looks a bit worse now than earlier, like the skin is raw. Poor little peanut screams his head off every time I change him :crying:</p> <p>Any suggestions? My mom said Vaseline, but I'm not a big fan of petroleum jelly. I'll do it if it works though. I'm also trying to make sure the area is dry before I put a new diaper on, but even blotting with a tissue hurts him. </p>
