Diaper Rash, I've avoided it for the first 11 months

Gray, my son, is now 11 months old and other than a yeast rash he picked up from antibiotics he has avoided any diaper rashes. HOWEVER I want to address something that you can do for any diaper rash that might appear.

Besides keeping the baby clean, dry, and doing diaper changes regularly there is a little secret you can invest in. Lotrimin (clotrimazole) AF creme. Yes the same stuff that's used topically for athletes feet. This is an anti fungal creme ( which works for yeast infections on the skin) but also for diaper rash. A small tube is only $5 to $8 dollars and if you apply this 2-3 times a day to clean DRY skin you'll see a huge difference in 2 days.

Also remember, air time is a great way to help things along. Try it, it certainly beats a more expensive visit to the doctor.


(This advice is not meant to replace seeing a doctor. If you feel your little one needs to be seen, go with your gut)
