First, a disclaimer: I am not a doctor, and the opinions expressed here are from my own experience and what has worked for my family. Please don't treat this as professional medical advice.
So we're in teething mode again. Gator is working on tooth number seven, and for some reason, that means diaper rashes. It's really the only time he gets them, but they're pretty nasty. A couple of teeth ago, our pediatrician recommended an diaper rash remedy that was new to me. We tried it, and it worked faster and more efficiently than anything else we've used with either child. I'd take before and after pictures to show you just how well it worked, but somehow I don't think Gator would appreciate that much when he gets older. So you'll just have to try it for yourselves.
What you need:
Aquaphor Baby Healing Skin Ointment
Maalox Advanced Regular Strength (liquid
A small container
A spoon or something to stir with
Instructions:
in a separate container, mix equal parts of the Aquaphor and the Maalox. They will not mix easily, but keep stirring. Eventually, the two ingredients will form a sort of paste mixture. Spread some of this mixture on Baby's bottom, and cover with a diaper. You can save the leftover mixture in an air-tight container, but you will probably have to stir it again the next time you use it. If the rash doesn't clear up in a day or two, I'd recommend checking with your doctor; but, so far, this remedy has worked for us every time.
