How I got rid of THE rash--Grandma El's love

nahokulele

I owe it all to Grandma El's! If anyone out there is struggling with diaper rash, this product gave me my sanity back--it's amazing!!!

I'm guessing it's the lanolin.  I had tried everything--Triple Paste, Desitin, Burt's Bees, Earth Mama Angel Baby, hydrocortisone, lotrimin (turns out it wasn't yeast, though nurse and pedi's kept wanting me to treat it like yeast).  And finally I tried Grandma El's.

Freakin' awesome, so if you're thinking about getting it, just do it.

I love this stuff, too. If DS ever seems a little red, I put some on and it's usually gone in a few hours.

I also put some on my dry hands....worked wonders. I love this stuff!

Good to know!  I've been wanting to try it.

Right now I just got a jar of *The* Balm though -- seriously loving it.  Such good ingredients!  So I may not switch for a while.

Is it better than CJs? I was going to try Grandma Els but I'm afraid to switch w Ls sensitive skin. 

Haven't tried CJs, but DD has ridiculously sensitive skin.  She even reacted to coconut oil.  And yet GE solved her skin issues.

I'm glad you found something that works! 

I tried it on DD once recently, and she got a rash from it in the maybe 2 hours before her next diaper change.

Oh no!  I guess it's not quite a miracle worker after all!  Amazing how every tush is so different!

Glad to hear a positive review! We have a $25 gift card to BRU and I wasn't sure what to spend it on, and since this stuff is the only CD friendly cream they carry, I put it on the list. It'll be the first cream we try.

I know!  Oh well.  It's always a nice feeling when you finally find something that works for your LO though!

I used CJs and switched to Grandma El's and was much happier with the results. I also like that Grandma El's doesn't have a scent.

I second this! I have tried almost everything on my rash prone DD, and Grandma El's is one of the only creams that actually heals her rash.
