    Generous amount of baking soda in the water and have him sit in the water for at least 10 minutes. Works wonders for my DS!

    Ditto, especially on the "generous" part.  Baking soda is so cheap and it helped DD2's yeasty diaper rash SO much (when on antibiotics).  I also switched from using Buttpaste to plain old A&D ointment instead.  It wipes off so easily--less irritation--and is an awesome barrier to wetness.

    We do baking soda too.  And be sure to dry your LO's bum well before putting a diaper on.  We use a hairdryer on cool and use Lotrimin if it's yeast or Aquaphor if it's just yucky.
