Nappy rash

I actually sent my hubby out this morning to the pharmacy to get some nappy rash ointment and he came back with a spot cream!! I was laughing my head off..:) The pharmacist wasn’t in so the spot cream was recommended by the salesgirl and she assured it worked for nappy rashes!

For nappy rashes ,there are a few lotions that actually works:

These diaper rash creams include those that contain zinc oxide, like:

  • A+D Ointment
  • Balmex Diaper Rash Ointment
  • Desitin Creamy Diaper Rash Ointment
  • Aveeno Diaper Rash Cream
  • Burt’s Bees Diaper Ointment

and those made with petrolatum, like:

  • Aquaphor
  • Vaseline

There are also speciality diaper rash creams that are becoming more popular and more widely available. These include:

  • Triple Paste
  • Boudreaux’s Butt Paste

Other ways to prevent diaper rashes include:

  • frequent diaper changes
  • making sure your child is completely dry before putting on a new diaper
  • allowing your baby to ‘air out’ without a diaper at times
  • changing wipes or brands of diapers if you think they may be causing a problem
  • avoiding wipes and using plain warm water or a mild soap to clean your baby
