Chafing Fat Rolls?

JustSadieJustSadie member
in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
Haha - it sounds funny, but the fat rolls in DD's diaper areas have started chafing and getting bright red.  I feel so bad for her!  What can I do about it?  I put some diaper rash cream on it today, but I don't know if more moisture is a good idea.  Baby powder? Other suggestions?

    Baby powder seems to do the trick on my LO.

    Diaper cream is probably the best.  It has zinc to heal it, and will protect from moisture.

    I just make sure I wipe it dry with changes,,,it happens in her neck folds too.  If it gets really red I dry it off good and then put a little vaseline on it.

    We had that problem under DD's chin today from drooling so much... I wiped dry and put some Aquaphor on it to shield from the moisture and it cleared right up.

    After her bath each night, I slather DD's tushy and the creases at the very top of her legs in Desitin.  The rest of her rolls get baby powder.

    DD has a spot under her chin I asked her doctor about and she said to put desitin (or any other diaper rash cream) on it. I was told not to use baby powder due to the dust it releases when used.
