We used Boudreaux’s Butt Paste when the rashes got bad.
Even into the potty trained preschool years, we’d use the paste after a bath if there was a day that he had some irritation. (Sometimes little ones have a hard time wiping at school.)
We’d do a bath and some “Bootie Cream” as we called it and that usually helped.

No diaper for as long as possible (hours), this is the most important step. We also used triple paste to coat the rash real well.

One of mine had a fungal infection that just looked to me like a standard diaper rash, but resistant. The pediatrician told me to apply foot cream. No joke, it worked. Not necessarily recommending, but maybe ask about it if the other remedies don't work My poor granddaughter had a yeast infection with her diaper rash after a nasty bout of diahrrea. I'd call the pediatrician. She ended up with a prescription ointment. I also soaked her bottom in the bathtub after every nasty diaper. |

I agree with airing it out and apply Butt Paste afterwards as a barrier! For maintenance, I keep a stack of washcloths at the changing area and pat dry after wiping.

And then when she was older she would point to the t.v. when commercials for this remedy came on declaring how proud she was that we used it on her! LOL |

LOL Also give baby probiotics by mouth to help even out gut flora. Plain yogurt is good. |

My pediatrician gave me this recipe 22 years ago and its worked on every baby since. Squeeze a time of desitin and a tube if a&d ointment into a container. Pour in liquid mailbox and stir well. Pour off the excess liquid and slather it on. My babies used to get blistered so easily and this helps overnight. Maalox. Not mailbox. LOL I was getting ready to ask what liquid mailbox was--LOL. I'm a fan of airing out the bottom, and Bag Balm is great! I still use on my elbows and feet, and hands when extremely dry. |

Poor Baby Pancakes. It's been decades since I dealt with this, but I do recall using Aquaphor and it always did the trick.

DH took DS for a day when I was at a quilt show. When they came to pick me up, poor DS had not had his diaper changed once. The poor little guy had blueberries stuck to his bottom, which had burned little holes in his tushie. It’s been 23 years and I still think about it.
The doctor said to crank up the heat and let the little guy be naked. No disposable diapers and no rubber pants with cloth diapers. That’s when I learned that my kid would pee every 20 minutes! Wash after poops, dry the tush, slather with ointment. I do remember using Mylanta or something like that. The doctor also recommended Domboro Medicated Soak. I see that Amazon has it and I think I had to go to a pharmacy vs a grocery store. Good luck!
