I was told no baby powder because they can inhale it. We use a small amount of diaper rash cream especially overnight because she kept getting irritated without it. We also fan the diaper, waving it over her bottom to dry it before putting the diaper on.

Well, we CD'd for a long time, and only used creams when he had a rash.

But then we had to switch to disposables because it was the rash that just wouldn't go away. Like months and months of pretty much every cream (prescription and off the shelf) and I got tired of constantly stripping the cloth diapers. We're still struggling with the rashes, so he gets a good amount of Triple Paste when he has an active rash, and every day before his nap and before bed. Anytime he might be sitting in a wet diaper for an extended period of time.

Our pedi told us baby powder is a no-go.

ETA: Wipe and dipe, or wipe, cream and dipe.

If you're going to use baby powder, make sure it's talc free. Really you don't need to do anything besides wipe and new diaper unless there is irritation or a rash. Some will depend on your baby too. My son was really sensitive and we found we had to apply triple paste at every diaper change otherwise, it would start getting red. We had to do that until he was about 6 months and now he's fine just getting wiped down and a new diaper.

Wipe and dipe!

Unless rash, then cream.

We used to CD with my oldest (Still do with the baby) but we use disposables now with my toddler. I still use cloth wipes though, just spray with water and wipe. Easy peasy.

We use penaten clear protection cream after every diaper change, and desitin at night since she'll be sitting in it for 12+ hours. She's never had a rash.

Only creams/ointments if she has a rash.

Wipe and diaper only, unless there is redness or a rash. When she was itty bitty, I found myself using more Protective Ointment, Aquaphor, or Coconut Oil. Nowadays, it takes so much work just to get the diaper on, there's no time for anything else!

Wipes and diaper. Before bed I will cream her up pretty good with Earth Mama Angel Baby stuff, we usually don't change at night (as she's seemed to stop pooping at night) but she'll still have a dirty fart from time to time I like to think im protecting against!

Both the L&D nurses and our pediatrician's office said not to use powder, creams or anything unless she had a rash. We've never used anything and she's never had diaper rash.

Usually wipe and new diaper, but when she was tiny and pooping all. the. time, we used some olive oil to keep her bum from getting chapped and red. We've only used diaper cream when her skin started to look a little too pink for our liking.

Wipes after nasty poops and then a squirt of water and pat with cloth wipe because the regular wipes can give ds a rash. If the poop is not too gross I just use water and a cloth wipe. Aquaphor every night and ds really doesn't get rashes. If he is particularly poopy on any given day I might put some Aquaphor on once during the day too.

We use wipes and some kind of cream/ointment. Normally A&D when there's no rash (not all the time, mostly with bedtime or after a poop) and Buttpaste when she has a rash or if she's pooping a lot.

No baby powder, that's pretty old school and not really recommended anymore.

Wipe and dipe, aquaphor or desitin if she gets a rash.

Wipe ( huggies naturals ) and new diaper. If she gets a little pink, I use coconut oil, it works wonders!

We wipe and diaper. Daycare always puts butt paste but it makes me think they aren't that great about changing her as soon as she poops.

When LO was born the hospital said no wipes for one month. They told us to use Viva paper towels and water for that time. I don't know how common that is but now I precut wipes for all my friends that deliver there.

We use cloth diapers and cloth wipes (just small baby wash cloths, nothing fancy). We use a dry cloth for pee diapers and get the cloths wet with just plain old water for poos. We use coconut oil if we see any redness and that usually does the trick. I agree it depends on the sensitivity of the baby's skin.

@lovehoneybee: we went through a month or two of constant rash like that too (anti-yeast creams, anti-fungals, steroids, etc.). I had been using cloth and Huggies - switched to cloth and Pampers and rash finally cleared up...don't know if it was just coincidence, but maybe try another brand?

If no rash, wipe and dipe... If rash, wipe with water/cloth wipe or paper towel, a little naked time, then Rx cream plus Burt's Bees diaper cream or Aquaphor + Burt's Bees. With cloth, EMAB butt cream.

Wipe and new diaper. Cream for rash or nights.
