We all hope our littles don't get diaper rash, but the reality is all babies will get diaper rash at some time in there little baby lives. For that reason, I've compiled a list of my favorite products that I swear are magic, and included my tips to rid diaper rash.
1. If your baby gets diaper rash, make sure to wipe the entire area clean (no soap! Water works just fine.)
If your baby is extra sensitive to products, try just using warm water.
2. Make sure to completely dry the area before applying any products or diaper. (You can even let them crawl around without a diaper for a bit to help get rid of the irritation. Just make sure to put down some towels!)
3. Once the area is completely dry, apply a layer of Triple Paste and then seal it in with a layer of Aquaphor. (The pediatrician said the baby aquaphor and regular aquaphor work the same- so whatever you find at the store). You will then put the diaper on and let it do it's magic!
Within hours, your babies little bum will look so much better, but it's best to continue to use this method until it completely clears. Depending on how bad your babies rash is, it may be a couple days or a little over a week. Most cases it clears in 1-2 days.
Another product I use to prevent diaper rash is this Earth Mama Angel Baby Bottom balm. A girlfriend of mine gifted it for me at my Baby shower, and it's pretty much been a heaven sent ever since. (They also have a fantastic nipple balm if you are breastfeeding. It's called Earth Mama Nipple Butter. I swear it saves your nipples and is better than any other nipple creams I've tried. Which were a ton!)

That's what our pediatrician told us! I was using soap, but I guess it could irritate the skin more. (Also some diaper wipes that have a mild soap in them can irritate too!) I am with you on ANYTHING in or by the water for Summer! Staying COOL is on my list! haha
DeleteI will be spending summer being a new Mama and taking many river trips! 😀 Thanks for the tips! Looking forward to future blog posts!
ReplyDeleteYour little boy is SO cute, Ashley! Hopefully we will see you at the River this Summer!

THE STYLE CONTOUR
Fitted diapers are similar to the contour diapers but also use elastic throughout the waistband and leg area to reduce leakage and provide a snug fit. Fitted diapers also have built-in closures such as snaps or Velcro.Vaikiska patalyne
