Coconut Oil

We are having diaper rash problems due to teething.  LO has 4 teeth coming in all at once!  Does anyone use coconut oil rather than the "typical" butt creams?  Positives?  Negatives?

If I remember correctly I think @adiaz132003 uses coconut oil

We tried for days with Levi when he was on antibiotics and it didn't touch it.  Had to have Nystatin called in and saw a difference after two applications.

Never tried coconut oil, but We use honest company diaper cream and love it.

Coconut oil is awesome but I honestly have no idea how it does with diaper rash. We use Baby Butz, which is 100% natural. It's amazing but I don't know if it's available in the US.

We have used exclusively coconut oil on S since the start of January, and he hasn't had a hint of diaper rash since then. I remember the only reason we started using it was that he had a fungal rash over new year's weekend, and we were looking for a home remedy that would treat it until we could get into the doctor the following week. It's worked great for us.

Yes yes yes. Coconut oil is the only thing that keeps rashes at bay for us.  Our pediatrician recommended we use it after ever change rather than diaper cream.

Thanks ladies!  We've switched to coconut oil and it cleared up the bad rash in a couple of days.  How many teeth do your kiddos have now?  I swear Lillyana had 2 and overnight she's got a full mouth!

My kid still has zero, my daughters (twins) both dropped their first one on the same day two days after their birthday. I'm guessing we still have a ways to go here.

Tristan is the proud owner of 7 teeth.  The 8th one is taking its time poking through.  I am with you, we went from two to 7 1/2 teeth in the matter of a couple weeks.  It's been a little rough, but thankfully hasn't completely derailed us.  He only had a couple nights where he woke up, but we had to do a whole week of Tylenol to get him to drink his bottles.  The battle of the bottle seems to be ongoing, but much better than where we were.

Jackie currently has 2, but she's working on the top 4.

My daughter has just the edge of one bottom tooth breaking through and it's drool central over here.

Two bottom and one top off center with the top middle two starting their decent. That top one that's in already must have been a mistake. It really looks like it came through the front more than the bottom of his gums. And that one showed up before his second bottom one

All of Tristan's top teeth looked like they were coming out the front.  DH and I thought it looked a bit unusual.  Feel a little better now that are not alone.

Damien's 2 top are his canines, he looks like a little vampire! Too cute.

Charlotte has 8 teeth now and bit her daycare teacher this week!
