After 16 months of life we experienced our first diaper rash. I felt pain because I was so neglectful and allowed my child to get a rash. Sterling felt the pain each and every time he changed a diaper and heard Kekoa scream, I could actually see the pain on his face. Kekoa felt the pain with each dirty diaper. Makaio was just as happy as ever so I guess there was no pain there.
The only cure seemed to be a lot of baths and time. The lesson I learned...DO NOT EVER USE DESITIN! All I know is that I would be fine if we didn't experience that again for another 16 years!

i have not found a cream that really seemed to heal anything. the best thing is, like you said, a bath after ever poopy diaper. and make sure they get dried off really well. it's not a great time that is for sure
Diaper rash sucks but A&D is awesome! Here's hoping for happy butts!
Aquaphor. Greatest stuff ever.
The amazing thing about babies is that they heal quickly and they don't remember a thing. Right after Roman was circumcised he screamed his head off when people wanted to hold him. I found out later when I changed his diaper that the desitin cap I lost was in his diaper. I felt so bad but stuff like that happens and we don't intentionally want to torture our children. Vaseline helps with chaffing as well if you dont want to use desitin.
I can't believe this is the first one ever! My kids always got it the worst when on antibiotics. The only thing I found that works is Lotromin first than butt paste on top of it. Worked great for my kids, so did swimming pools. You are a much better mom than I am since by now my kids had probably had at least 4 or 5.
Poor guy. We haven't had a true diaper rash yet. We've had a few red areas, but nothing horrible.
