What type of diaper rash product do you like?

I was just wondering what types of rash products everyone uses?

I like to use Resinol on my little ones. My mother (actually step-mom but since she is the only "mom" I have left, I call her my mother now) turned me on to this. It is not labeled for babies or diaper rashes, but boy does it work for me. It is a product that you can put on your face to dry up acne. It is thick and will even stick and cover up raw spots (some of my kids' rashes have been doozies.) The rashes are almost gone overnight when I use this. Was just wondering if anyone else has tried this and if they like it as much as I do. I usually have to have the pharmacist special order it but it is fairly cheap.

Just wondering...

I only use Aquaphor. It is also not labeled for use as diaper rash cream, but it works terrific. I also use it on her face (and my hands) in the winter to help with the dry chapped places caused by cold, dry heat and wind.

Weleda Calendula Cream! It fixes everything.

Where can you find weleda calendula cream? What else do you use it for? I have heard it mentioned before.

I second the Weleda Calendula Cream. Also, Weleda Diaper Care. They can both be found at places like Whole Foods Market. There are lots of places to buy it online. The best price I've found is a www.vitaminshoppe.com. Or if you happen to be in Germany go to any DM and you'll find it for half the price it is here.

It's great fore everything. I use it for diaper rash, and it is wonderful as a barrier cream overnight. It also works on dry skin, scratches,etc.

I love Aveeno and Aquaphor...they have clean smells, wipe easily, and work like a dream at the first hint of anything....

Oh, and I read on an allergy board that the Weleda has peanut oil in it, and should not be used on children who have a family history of allergies, because some kids can have reactions....

My brother is PA, and he can't have peanut derivatives come in contact with his skin without a reaction....

Not saying that it's not a fab cream, I'm sure it is, just that it has an ingredient to be wary of, if you've got a history of allergies (familial food alllergies, eczema, or severe seasonal allergies)...

The only thing that's worked for us is Dr. Smith's diaper ointment. It's usually behind the pharmacy counter, so you have to ask them for it, and it runs around $7 something, but lasts forever, works quickly, and really coats a sore little bottom nicely.

Oh no! I have a bunch of Weleda stuff, but I had severe eczema as a child, and still suffer from it a little. I also have other allergies (sinus)... I wonder if our child will suffer from eczema as well. I'm hoping not, it's so nasty. What would be the initial signs that the Weleda is having a negative effect? Would it be a rash?
