Diaper Rash

For those interested in details and a new parents discovery of a good trick. Our poor little girl has a very sensitive bum that has not tolerated commercial wippies very well. Not even pampers sensitive wipes. We have been using cloth wipes with water and occasionally huggies sensitive wipes (they are the only ones without alcohol). The other wipes caused sores as you wiped, no matter how careful I was. Needless to say, this whole parenting thing has so much to do with trial and error. So much to learn, and every kiddo is so different. Her poor rash kept getting worse, even with creams and changing often. We finally tried some cornstarch powder with zinc oxide, and it has worked wonders, on top of what you see in the pic (airing it out). We couldn't resist taking this cute pic. She was all covered up, but kicked her covers off. Brrr bum. Hopefully we are on the uphill. Things are looking so much better.
