I'm Currently Feeling:  | Witch hazel for diaper rash?
Im having a bit of a tough bout with diaper rash. I change her nappies religiously. Ive backed off baby wipes, Im letting Kiki's butt airdry, tried A&D and I even had my SILbring me some Sudacrem from Ireland..nothing is working. Im thinking of giving witchhazel a try..anyone used it before? Can I still use it with Sudacrem or is it too much? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I'm not sure about that other stuff but Connor has not had a diaper rash since we started putting petroleum jelly on his bottom at night when we know he will be in a diaper for an extended period of time. It really did work like a charm, 7 weeks since we started using it and it's still going strong, no more diaper rash here. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | If I could,
I would send all of you girls this amazing cream. It protected my butt, my brother's butt, my mom's butt....all of our butts without a single bout of diaper rash.
I use it on Mia now and her bum is perfection. However, it is only found in Serbian/Croatian stores around here and I am doubtful there are some in the USA.  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Honestly I know it has a silly name, but Butt Paste works wonders! We tried Desitin and that combined with baby powder made like cement. Butt Paste cleared it right up, and she hasn't had one since coming home from the hospital. They sell it at Babies R Us and I think at Target.
Another thing we did was put a pad down (a puppy pad left over from training our dog) and let her have some nakey time to air out her bum. Just make sure the house is warm and maybe put a tshirt on her, and watch her so she doesn't end up in her own potty mess. Hope it gets better, its awful when theyre like that! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Lanolin is good too.
Lansinoh isn't just for boobies 
BTW, have you tried switching diapers? maybe her skin is sensitive to something in them...  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I use the Butt Paste too! If I don't put it on with every diaper change it comes right back. |

DH wanted to register for it just cause it had a funny name (the kid in him for sure!!), so I let him. Then my aunt bought it and told us it was really the only thing she used on her girls. Luckily for us, we don't have to use it with every diaper, but when she got the diaper rash, it cleared it up really really quick. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Doesn't the butt paste and other creams that are heavily based on zinc just stay there and is hard to wash off. Is the bum white all the time? |
