Diaper rash on boys

[zapmansmom]

Hello, I would love some tips for minor diaper rash on boys. My son has a very minor rash and would love some ideas for creams etc...

Thank you

Let's see...aquaphor works pretty well as a preventative and for minor rashes. I also like Dr. Smiths and Triple Paste, although both are a little more expensive (but you can get a 1 lb tub of triple paste for $20 at Sam's). I've also used lanolin (leftover from treating my boobs), and breast milk (yes, it does work very well). Lots of people here also like Burt's Bees.

I love the Burt's Bees diaper creme.

I like Burt Bees the best.

My new favorite is using a fleece cover or pocket though. It cleared up a minor rash overnight, with no cream. Awesome!

Heh, heh, you've found the love... :) Can we entice you into trying some wool too? ;-)

Yep. I am in love and I only have the one pocket! Of course, I'm waiting on lots of other good stuff :)

Nope. No wool for me. I'm allergic to lanolin :(. Otherwise, I'd knit me up something fun!

I like Aquaphor to clear up light rashes and Triple Paste to clear up more persistent rashes. Stay away from fragrances - they can aggravate the rash horribly in fragrance-sensitive babes.

Burt's Bees is our favorite also.
