  I used it while DS was in the NICU and they didn't tell me to use anything over it.

  When we use Nystatin we put it directly on the rash and maybe some Aquaphor over top of it, but usually not Desitin. Nystatin is an anti-fungal.

  My doc said to use nystatin only. Aria's rash was gone completely in less than 5 days of using it!

  I've used it lots and lots for DS (Antibiotics cause yeast infections...)  You are only supposed to use Nystatin 4 times a day.  Based on the number of diapers you are probably changing you should use a different diaper cream during the other changes.  We use Aquaphor.  If you have a really bad rash you can alternate hydrocortisne (sp) cream with the nystatin, but you should never mix the nystatin with anything else. 

  Also if your LO goes to daycare mention they are on nystatin since it stains the diaper a yellowish and they might think something is wrong with your LO.

  Nystatin is prescribed for a yeast infection, so other diaper creams will not help rid your LO of that because they are meant for diaper rash, which is different. Especially don't use anything with petroleum jelly (vaseline) in it while LO has a yeast infection, as that traps the skin and prevents the yeast from getting air - airing out is the best thing you can do for getting rid of a yeast infection.
