Apply aquaphor liberally and change diapers every 2 hours or when soiled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-955766 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 11:10:37 +0000 littlek 955766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Triple Paste. That stuff is money!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-955759 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 11:08:04 +0000 alleyflowers 955759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the same issues until we stopped using wipes (we restarted when he was a bit older). I used damp Viva paper towels and that did the trick. Vaseline, Desitin, aquafor, any of those creams work well as long as you use a lot of it! :) good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-955028 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 07:15:02 +0000 hilsy85 955028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: ha glad to help! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-954602 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 21:39:02 +0000 Pepper 954602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: These look awesome, going to order them!

Crazy that wipes can irritate so much! I'm not planning on using them unless we are out of the house without other options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-954365 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 20:39:35 +0000 Pepper 954365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I've been using aquaphor too (I think on your recommendation!). I like if a lot more than A&amp;D. I may try just using that unless he gets red. Yay for no more rash! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-954361 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 20:38:01 +0000 MrsF 954361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: So glad he's doing better! We've been rash-free since getting rid of disposable wipes. I would think you can hold off on the triple paste if he looks good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-954350 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 20:35:48 +0000 hilsy85 954350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: yay! I &lt;3 triple paste. I generally only use it if he looks red, and I use aquaphor at all other times. But I think you CAN use it preventatively. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-954333 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 20:31:12 +0000 Pepper 954333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update: the rash is gone! Triple paste works wonders! Also not using wipes has helped too I think. </p> <p>Should I keep using the triple paste or only if he gets a rash? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-936964 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 20:03:37 +0000 lolabee 936964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I forgot about putting baking soda in his baths! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-936959 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 20:02:14 +0000 matador84 936959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swear by corona ointment.

I feel like LO kind of had an on again off again diaper rash for the first 2-3 months until his poops slowed down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-936941 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:56:30 +0000 allison 936941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was us in the beginning, too. HBers recommended Triple Paste, and it worked well for us. But he still got rashy a lot, until he stopped pooping so much. I can't remember when that happened. Maybe around 2 months? We also only use water to wipe and gave him lots of open air time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-936933 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:55:02 +0000 GrapeCrush 936933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we use calmoseptine for his diaper rashes. also, when he had a really bad diaper rash we soaked him in a bath of warn water and baking soda 3 times a day, to help neutralize the acid </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-936868 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:25:29 +0000 lolabee 936868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We struggled with a persistent yeast rash for 8 weeks, it was HORRIBLE! I actually cried about it a few times. What I think solved it for us was using cloth wipes with water, tons of naked time, used a blow dryer from far away on the cold setting (rec'd by doc), treated with Canesten topical cream (skip this unless its diagnosed by doc that its yeast) and gobbed on Aquaphor healing ointment. So basically like @hilsy85: said! </p> <p>Now, I've learned that LO is very sensitive. I still only use cloth wipes with water. Coconut oil at every change, if I see something looking a little fishy I use Earth Mama Baby Angel Bottom Balm. Since we CD if something stronger is needed I reach for the Aquaphor and put a liner between. Hope it clears up asap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-936830 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:11:45 +0000 Pepper 936830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Great, thank you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-936804 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 18:58:36 +0000 hilsy85 936804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: triple paste is the brand, you can find it at any drugstore (duane reade, rite aid, cvs, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-936779 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 18:53:28 +0000 Pepper 936779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: @betsyboop: Where do you get triple paste?

I slather it on really really thick, like frosting thick, and put aquaphor on top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-diaper-rash-tricks#post-936724 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 18:37:37 +0000 Pepper 936724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is a frequent pooper. He's 3 weeks old and he must poop once an hour, no joke. I noticed he has some bright red sores around his little bum hole. The ped said to stop using wipes and to only use wet cloths, and to get diaper cream. We had been using A&amp;D ointment during each diaper change, but I guess it didn't work to prevent :(</p> <p>Now I try to let him air dry (hard because he loves open air accidents!), and I've been slathering on the Desitin. Any other hints? I feel so bad for him! How long does diaper rash take to clear up? </p>
