How often do you put on A+D ointment/diaper cream?

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.

  • Only if she is looking red, per pedi. We were doing it with every change until age was a week old and they told us otherwise.

  • 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.

  • Every single diaper change.

  • We use A and D (the walmart brand though) every diaper change.  Walmart brand is so much cheaper then name brand.
  • We only use it if there are any signs of irritation.

  • Usually every other diaper change. If there's irritation or we're preparing for overnight, I'll apply a thick layer or buttpaste.
