Help! Re: maalox for diaper rash

jenifairies

Is mint flavored going to hurt her? It just seems like it would burn, and they don't have cherry or unflavored... I'm at the store. Should I get Cherry Mylanta?

don't laugh, i'm serious...

Compare the active ingredients between Mylanta and Maalox. I wouldn't get mint; I'd imagine it has a weird cool tingly feeling and that is not something I'd care for on my bum.

I would think mint would burn!!!  They should have a generic brand that's unscented/flavored?  I don't think I'd use any of the flavors.

I got the cherry mylanta, and I did the cornstarch thing, too.

I just had to change her (she woke up, yes at 4:30 freakin am and isn't going back to sleep) and it's not near as bad as it was.

Thanks for all the help. I was in the store laughing at myself for pondering flavors for her bum!
