    I found that  Monkey butt powder works great to treat and help prevent daiper rash. I got it at babies r us it was like 5.50 a bottle.

    Make sure she isn't soaked on her 'area' when she is put in a dry diaper.. pat her dry.. use the diaper rash ointment.. if it keeps up your LO might have a reaction to the diaper so try another brand.

    DS had this at one week b/c he had diarrhea (we suspect from the similac).  We brought him to pedi and got a prescription.  But in the meantime, avoid wipes as they can be irritating - we used kleenex and/or washcloth w/ warm water until his went away.  Also if you can soak him in warm water in the infant bathtub for a little while.  They suggested letting him go diaper free but that wasn't an option for us.  GL!

    Have you changed her food at all? (FF, changed formula; BF, ate anything different). If you're BF, it could be a sign of milk sensitivity or thrush.

    Grandma El's diaper rash cream works wonders!  I use it a couple times a day and her butt is so smooth and clear!

    our ds got his first diaper rash at that time too, and i was so sad.  just keep changing her like you are but rinse the wipes out with water before you use them to rinse out some of the soap. we also used destin (as per dr advice) and let him have lots of "naked" time, the air is really good for healing rashes.  he wound up getting repeat rashes because his skin was so sensitive so our dr has us use a gentle diaper cream like aveeno with every changing.

    i may have eaten something different, i just cant think of what right now.. Could it possibly be because she strains so much sometimes to poop?
