My almost 5-month old has a terrible rash under his chin and on top of chest. At his four month check up Dr. recommended cornstarch which I've been applying liberally. It's not getting any better. Just curious what other mamas might have tried? Not interested in medicines but more of a natural approach.. EOs, etc.. Thank you!
Cornstarch is helping ours and making sure to clean it well and gently in the bath. For bibs try the baby bandanas that are lined with flannel, they're much more absorbent. Still get soaked but it stops it so not to go through to the clothes and skin under. I found great ones on amazon
Same with my LO, I applied zinc oxide ( less than 15% strength) and try to get as much tummy time as possible so the area can air dry whenever possible. My LO's rash disappeared after 2 days of treatment.
Hi, I use vaseline on my 20 week olds chin to help prevent drool rash. It's working great for us. I'm in the UK so I'm not sure what product would be the equivalent or if you have vaseline. It's just petroleum jelly. Smear a little on and it forms a barrier. Also a big fan of funky dribble bibs
