In case you're interested, triple paste recipe inside

izzybella

My pedi's office gave me this recipe for Maddie's diaper rash. I haven't had a chance to use it yet but Triple Paste is $$$ and is supposed to work great!

1 tube Lotrimin AF (I used generic)
1 tube (or equal part) A&D ointment (I used the zinc oxide formula, not original, don't know if that makes a difference)
1 oz Maalox (generic)
enough corn starch or baby powder to thicken to a heavy paste (I probably used 7-8 heaping teaspoons or corn starch for it to thicken up and could have probably added more)

I made it in a 4oz Aquaphor container and it fit perfectly. It should also be safe with CDs, but I'll update when we have some experience. Just thought I'd share!

co18 makes something similar--it is THE BEST! she bought it to miami when she met up with us b/c S had such an awful diaper rash... it worked like a charm!

Thats really interesting!

I never used triple paste, but is it really more expensive than all those ingrediates combined?

That is what triple paste is supposedly made of, or just works as well as Triple Paste? Lotrimin is expensive, too!

Co18 gave me a 'recipe' similar to this (although I mixed the lotrimin and maalox and cornstarch WITH triple paste). It works pretty well!

I've seen triple paste for $35 a container! With the generic stuff I probably spent $8.

ok I'm saving this to give to Bobbi & Josh in case my granddaughter gets horrible diaper rash.

You really don't need the triple paste with the maalox/lotramin.

Just a regular diaper rash cream does the trick.  EVERY single time.

 

It's awesome.  I've given this to tons of people, and everyone has raved!

I still want to know if they are saying that this is what Triple Paste is made of.....or are they just saying it works as well? I am curious! (I have never looked at the ingredients on Triple Paste).

I'm not sure if they're the same ingredients, but the nurse called it their "triple paste recipe". So I think it works as well. ?
