Water Wipes worked for us.

Take off the diaper for a few hours. Lay her down on a towel.

I have 4 kids. One was prone to really bad diaper rash and two got it occasionally. One never had a rash!

1) general advice: only wipe for poop, not pee. Make sure the bottom is completely dry before applying diaper cream and closing the diaper.

2) for my kid with awful frequent rash, we found that Seventh Generation wipes were the only ones that didn’t cause irritation. They also clean about as well as Huggies. TriplePaste cream was great when things got bad. Otherwise, desitin or Boudreaux’s for maintenance.

Honest or water wipes. Triple paste mixed with aquaphor for rash. Don't wipe for pee, only poop. Apply awuaphor liberally after every change.

Clean them with warm water under the sink. A few times per day, lay them on a towel after this and let the area air dry. Then use a high zinc oxide diaper cream like butt paste. Skip the creams with lanolin if you think your kid has really sensitive skin. When the rash clears up, use water wipes and the same routine above for drying and applying cream. Use diapers that are made for sensitive skin.

We used regular baby wipes when we left the house but at home we used the disposable Ultrasoft Medline dry cloths like they have at the hospital and wet them with water. When my kids had diaper rash I wouldn’t wipe at all though, because it seemed to make it worse and they’d scream and cry so I’d just rinse them with warm water in the sink.

Washcloth if you can but also try pampers pure or water wipes. I found Costco wipes to be sort of rough and not very wet (hard to clean with). The suggestion of one of the pp to moisten them with water seems like a good one.

For every change, not just during rash Wipe with water, washclothes are great.

Pat dry.

Apply on of the following:

1. Bag Balm

2. Aquaphor ointment

3. Eucerin ointment

Grandpa is right. A warm washcloth is actually the best. I switched to WaterWipes for a little while with one of my kids and didn’t feel that they were any better than regular wipes (and way more $$$). If the rash persists, ask the doctor for prescription cream. It will clear it up in no time. Also, some diaper free time to air the area out is helpful (although sometimes messy).

I’m a mom of five so I have and still am dealing with babies in diapers. The best advice I got was to use regular paper towels that are wet with warm water for the wipes. Desitine is great because it is nice and thick. If your baby needs a stronger layer of protection use triple paste... it is awesome and works fast to relieve the rash.

good idea so we dont waste the wipes already in the house.

Wow, this is dead wrong. Bathing more frequently and rinsing the bottom under a faucet is a cure for diaper rash.

When DS had a case of horrible diaper rash, we rinsed his bottom after each poop and applied lots of Bordeaux diaper rash cream. My mother suggested finding the bottom and it truly helped.

Can you explain what you mean by "finding the bottom"?

We use a washcloth with warm water - leave half of it dry and use it to blot completely dry. It works great. But we also use cloth diapers so it doesn’t increase our laundry.

We use these https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NXGQ7Q4/ref=sns_myd_detail_page

And the Weleda cream if he starts to look red/irritated (which isn’t often)

Daily naked time too
