In our discharge instructions it said to put A+D ointment on DS's bum with every diaper change. I'm just wondering how long we should do that. Do you that with your LO?
We only put Desitin on if her tushy is starting to get red. Usually if she's had a lot of poops that day or particularly messy ones that require a lot of wipes.
We usually put butt paste on at night. Since DD STTN we put a thick layer on. It usually conditions over night so we don't have to do it with every diaper change during the day. I would go with your discharge instructions until you see your pediatrician shortly.

We have never put any kind of cream or ointment on DDs bum. She's 5.5 months and never had a rash. We use cloth diapers though which makes a difference.
We apply a thick layer before bedtime, long naps or long car rides - basically anytime she might be in a wet diaper for a few hours before her next change.
Re: How often do you put on A+D ointment/diaper cream?
Fastest year of my life.
Every single diaper change.
