Horrible diaper rash advice needed ASAP!!

>am not doing cloth diapers in this lifetime

My DD (in cloth diapers) currently has a rash similar to what you described. So don't feel that CDs would be an insta-cure.

FWIW, titanium dioxide creams (we've used Aveno) make DD's rashes worse. Aquaphor has helped in the past and we're using it now.

I feel your (and your child's) pain. I am haunted by the sight of DD's rash. Poor baby!

ET clarify.

Thanks for this wisdom! I hadn't thought of that and will need to do it.
Oh... and welcome to the BBB! :)
