s/o Diaper Cream

Are you supposed to use it with every diaper change or just when LO has a rash. A friend of mine used it for every change and that seemed like overkill to me.

When I was a nanny and with my niece we only used it when the baby had a rash.

Just if baby has a rash. I don't think I've ever met anyone who used it at every change. lol

My plan is to use it at the first sign of irritation. So not necessarily every change, but if he looks red or chapped or flaky, I won't wait to see if it gets worse.

I used Aquaphore with most diaper changes to avoid rashes. Only used the serious Zinc Oxide cream when he actually had a rash. I think using serious stuff every time would be overkill too.

the only reason I can see using it every change is if you find that they're very prone to rashes?

Definitely won't start out from day 1 using it every change. I'm using California Baby and that stuff is not cheap!

Only use it when you see sign of irritation. Or at least that's what we always did when I worked at a daycare working with infants.

I have never met anyone who did NOT use it at every change.

Good question. I plan to just prevent rash from happening as much as I can but won't be using/applying cream after each change.

I don't use it at all. With DS#1 it never worked. The only thing that worked was corn starch. I bought the J&J baby powder with corn starch. I use it with ever diaper change. Jacob got a rash in the NICU and his skin was broken. Nothing helped until I used the corn starch when I got home.

We use it only with a rash...seems wasteful to use it everytime, imo.

Oh my goodness NOT every change, just with irritation. Too many chemicals and skin builds up a tolerance. Aquaphor usually does the trick.

good question i was o0nly wondering this the other day as i started to set up my change table with everything i'll need......

i think it's only when little one has a rash..... and to prevent rashes i think you use powder - 2+ mumies can you confirm?

Maybe a stupid question, but is Aquaphor a cream, lotion or ointment? Can someone post a link to show what it looks like, sounds like I need to pick some up!

my mom told me to use it with every change, but that was "back in the day" Stick out tongue

I only use cream when the LO has a rash, or when they will be on antibiotics because without fail they get horrible diarrhea that causes a rash when while on them.
