Diaper Ointment
Posted: 08-15-04 00:57am

Hello! I am not a mother, but I have
cared for ten beautiful little ones for
two years now. I am a proffesional infant
teacher in one of the best nursuries in
the country! (well, I was, but I had to
quit because I am moving  )
i want to tell the world that white
ointments such as desatin completely suck!
Sorry for the graphic language, but that
is my honest to goodness opinion of the
stuff. It smells bad (the smell makes me
sneeze like crazy) and it doesn't get rid
of rashes, and it doesn't prevent
rashes.... The best ointment in the world
is a & d ointment! It gets rid of
rashes, and keeps them away! All of the
babies in my nursury are now using a &
d with every diaper, because I preached
about it to my mothers, and none of them-
even the ones who used to get rashes
really bad- get rashes. If there is a
persistent rash, I recommend pinxav. I
like that just about as much as a & d,
but it is more expensive, smells bad, and
makes all their diapers pink (eww) but it
is amazing at getting rid of raw diaper
rash. Another ointment that prevents rash
(but will not get rid of existing rash) is
vaseline with every diaper. It keeps the
moisture off the skin.
Also, I want to say *never never never*
use baby powder! It can get into baby's
lungs and cause severe lung disease- using
baby powder is about the same as putting
your baby in an asbestos-lined crib!

What's a&d is it a brand or is it the
vitamins a and d? Also, why haven't they
taken baby powder off the market if it's
so bad for kids? Just curious, I love
the smell of the baby powder and it sucks
that it's not good for them.

The commonest over here in uk is sudocrem
- zinc and castor oil.
However I do know people who have
successfully used udder cream (designed
for using on cows udders - but it works a
treat - just make sure you get a brand new
pot for baby ) and also green
oils gel - sold in tack shops for horses
to put on everyhting from minor wounds to
their leg hanging off - again remember to
buy a brand new pot for baby

The diaper rash cream that I absolutely
love is by arbonne. My mom bought it for
my son when he was born and it gets rid of
the rash fast. Its herbal (it does have
zinc oxide in it) and it has no mineral
oils in it which I like.

I agree a & d ointment is a godsend.
Regular zinc oxide ointment works wonders,
as well. Calendula ointment is also a
good antibacterial/skin healer. For
anyone who's familiar with burt's bees
products, they have a new line of baby
care products, including a diaper rash
ointment. I wish that stuff had been
around when my son was a baby.

Actually, I been using boudreaux's butt
paste. Within 24 hours rash is gone.
Its manufactured in the usa 800-368-rash.
Its expensive but it works wonders. I
found it b/c my older daughter always
always got a rash , the doctor recommended
this and i've used it ever since now she
is 7 and I used it with my other daughter
who 4 and I will use it with my next child
who isn't born yet.

i agree 100%. Butt paste is awesome. I
have used every kind of diaper rash cream
and nothing seemed to work and one day I
was at target and saw this new product, it
does cost more than the rest, but it is
well worth it. If baby is a little red
the next morning it is gone. Oh and all
three of my kids have eczema and very dry
skin it is great for that also. And try
it on very chapped lips. This stuff is a
miracle cream.

My daughter was on prescription butt
creams to help with rash, I have tried,
peneten, sudocreme, aveeno and zudafex
something like that and nothing worked
better than vaseline......I love vaseline.
I still have my aveeno and two big
cans of peneten but I live by vaseline as
it kicks butt, you would have thought that
because of price it doesnt work that well
I was proved wrong.
I tried numerous things as elisa butt
was blistering and bleeding, I changed
brands of diapers, wiped with water,
changed different brands of wipes and
nothing worked so im a firm believer of
vaseline............

I just noticed tonight that nathan has a
huge sore looking rash on his little bum.
The funny thing is..It wasn't there for
the diaper change before that, which was
probably only 2-3 hours earlier...
What the heck?.. I use desitine but I
have been using it... I have been wanting
to try new stuff, I don't think they sell
the butt paste in canada...

vaseline is a wonderful thing to use I use
it too with my girls, but the rash i'm
talking about is, is the one that takes a
few days to improve itelf and butt paste
is a mircle cream. It takes care of it in
24 hours.... Gone ....

i have also found that the brand a&d
ointment is top notch! We were give a
tube of walmart brand "equate a&d" and
our baby was getting a red ring around his
hiney and after I stopped using it and
went totally with brand or cvs generic
a&d, everything was perfect.
To save money, we are now buying the 16oz.
Tub of a&d for $10.99 and saving the
4oz. Tubes for our diaper bags.
I have several types of diaper
ointment/cream and the white colored zinc
oxide pastes are too much trouble to use.
I hate putting that white stuff all over
him because it takes so many wipes to
clean him up poperly before I can apply
fresh stuff.
A&d does it for me!
