Diaper rash so soon?

I read that your baby shouldn't have diaper rash within the first 6 weeks of life. That seems a little crazy to me, but my LO has already had 2 flare ups :( Anyone else? What cream are you using to treat and/or prevent?

    i've never heard of that! ds had a bit of diaper rash starting by the time we got home from the hospital! we put sudocrem on it then and at every diaper change (i use a generous amount and see it as kind of a barrier). it cleared up within a couple days and we haven't had any issues since.

    My LO had a little flare up at about two and a half weeks and I used Burt's bees diaper Ointment which cleared it up pretty quickly.  I figured I'd start with a mild cream and if that didn't work, I'd try something stronger. Now I use it every other diaper change to hopefully keep it away.

    Butt paste does the trick for us

    DD had a little flare up a few days ago.  I just put the vasoline stuff they gave us at the hospital on her and it cleared up pretty quick.  It has been super hot here so I am wondering if that had something to do with it.

    Oh I never heard that before! My DS has already had diaper rash. I actually posted about it not long ago. I used desitin cream which worked well. Exposure to air is also good.

    If you have a little boy, this thread has some tips for naked time without getting pee everywhere :)

    ETA: Just saw your ticker. With a little girl the air exposure should be less tricky. :)

    I must be a terrible mom then...DS had some at 2 weeks. We used Butt Paste and bare bum time and it was gone in a couple days.

    DD has it now and I'm using Desitin.  First day trying it so I'm hoping it will clear up quickly.

    DD had it within the first 2 weeks as well. We use Canus' Lil Goat's Diaper Cream.  It's the best stuff I've found and it also works well as a preventative.  Smells good too! Much much much more inexpensive per ounce and had 40% zinc in it which is the most I have seen.
