My son has the same cold I have and it seems to be accompanies by an awful diaper rash. The rash was caused by very paste like brownish green poop he made yesterday twice. I put butt paste on but that agrivated it and Burt's bees doesn't seem to do much either. It doesn't look puffy or as inflamed today but it still looks very red. What do you guys suggest I put on him to help? My poor little pumpkin.

This always works for us: bath with baking soda, some diaper free time to make sure it's rrreeeaalllly dry down there, thick layer of triple paste, thin layer of aquaphor on top, frequent diaper changes. Usually clears up in a day.
-
We've used Potato starch with really great results along wtih aquaphor.
-
I have had very good luck with coconut oil.
-
I used to use Burt's bees, but honestly, it was a pain i thought..too thick. we've had good luck with putting on bacitracin, then the white cream (target brand desitin or A&D).
also, ava anderson diaper cream is the bomb. smells SO good, and it's like lotion, so easy to spread.
-
We love Triple Paste.
-
thanks these are great tips.
@sorrycharlie: oooh i like the sound of that. I will have to look for it.
-
@septca: I've also had good results with coconut oil.

Calmoseptine has been recommended to me by several pediatricians and pharmacists. You usually have to get it behind the pharmacy counter but it's inexpensive and amazing. Usually even the worst rashes clear within a day it two after using it.
-
We've used coconut oil and the honest co. healing balm and both seem to work well. We've also used fitted cloth diapers with a wool cover to let the skin breath when LO had a bad rash.
-
Wash Lo's bottom with soap and water only, slather coconut oil or aquaphor
-
I like "Nature Only- Wholesome Diaper Rash Cream."
-
I also highly recommend Triple Paste.
-
Triple paste at every diaper change with aquaphor in top!
-
Bath with baking soda, no wipes at diaper changes instead use washcloth with warm water and baking soda. Air dry completely then layer of coconut oil then layer desitin extra strength. Works a charm for us.

@hilsy85: Ditto! You told me this same thing back when my LO was a newborn, and it works like a charm!
-
@Pepper: it has never failed us!

@MrsMccarthy: it's a 0 on EWG, too - it's a whole non-toxic line. my friend sells it! I've been thinking of joining just to get the discounted starter kit, and not selling, lol.
