Diaper rash - I know it's been asked before

Sorry, we should have a FAQ for baby questions, don't you think?? 

Anyways, M has had way more messy diapers the last couple days and now she's pretty red, we usually just put a little A&D ointment on her but I think she needs something thicker, maybe more of a paste/lotiony consistency.  Is that the Butt Paste stuff, or what would you recommend?

    If it's red and a little raised looking, it could be yeast, and then Lotrimin works well on it.   If it's super bad, my ped had me make a paste out of butt paste, corn startch and lotrimin.   If it's sunny out and you can juts let her be naked outside, that should help a lot too.

    Yeah always make sure it's not a yeast infection first!!

    When Gage has really bad rashes we do Maalox, let it dry and then put aquaphor on top.  Works really good!

    Not raised, just super red, probably from all the wiping we've had to do to clean the gunk off.  :(  We're trying to be really gentle but she's crying even just barely patting her clean. 

    I more wanted to know which treatments have a thicker/soothing kind of consistency, because I didn't think BRU would look kindly on me squirting out samples of diaper rash tubes at their store.  :)~

    We have a whole host of creams and lotions because Kaylin gets horrible diaper rash everytime she is getting a tooth. The best "thick & creamy" one is Aveeno. Butt Paste is good, but in a different way.

    I loved Butt Paste for the thicker stuff.

    If that doesn't start to help, or it gets worse, I'd suspect yeast.   A&D and Butt Paste will both trap moisture and make a yeast rash worse.

    I got some Target brand of Desitin and it was WEIRd and oily and gross.  Don't get that!

    Triple Paste - DS had horrible diaper rash from birth to about 8 weeks. This was the thickest and best stuff ped recommended.

    I make my own from a recipe that our Ped gave us - hydrocortizone + butt paste or desitin + lotrimen af... works wonders!  We usually just use the cortizone and the desitin for minor rashes and if it gets really bad, I add the lotrimen to the mix.

    Hope M feels better soon!
