My son (16 months) has a severe diaper rash. I cannot afford to go to the doctor. Is there anything I can do to help it heal faster? I already change as soon as he pees/poops as well as air drying his bottom and putting on plenty of diaper cream. What else can I do?

Hawkman asked:


How do you remove diaper cream (Zinc Oxide) from the carpet furniture, and the dog? My son took two tubes and smeared it all over the place. The carpet is a light colored berber.

My little one just moved to 3’s because 2’s are to tight on him we are using Pampers Cruisers. My boyfriend grandmother is always in my Business and she said a baby shouldn’t wear size 3 until there 9 months old. Just wondering what size diaper your baby wore or wears at 6 months old. Thanks everyone.
It’s not my grandma LOL it’s my boyfriends grandma ;)

What to do to prevent diaper chaffing on a 3wk old?

Misty Dawn asked:


I have my 3wk old in Pampers Swaddlers. I just noticed right above his boy parts there were some white spots. At first I thought it was a rash, but when I went to put something on them I discovered they were blisters! They don’t seem to be causing him any kind of discomfort, but I don’t want them to get worse. For the time being I put some diaper rash ointment on it and covered it with gauze so the diaper isn’t rubbing directly on it. What can be done to prevent this?

My 17 month old son has had this rash for going on 3 weeks now! I’ve used Boudreaux’s Butt Paste, which has been a God-send in the past, and I’ve also used hydrocortisone and Bactroban. I even give him a quick bath after each diaper change then pat him dry. It’s hurting him so bad that he won’t sit on his right butt cheek. Anyone have any home remedies that I may not know about?
Just to be clear, for the one that said for me to change his diaper (DUH!), he gets his diaper changed as soon as he wets or poops and I’ve been doing it ever since this started. I appreciate all your serious answers! And to the lady that suggested Triple Paste, funny you mentioned that, because I just returned from the store and bought some, so we’ll see how it works! I’ve even made a doc appt for tomorrow to see what they say. Thanks again guys!!

My one year poops after every meal, causes diaper rash. It’s red, a times his skin bleeds in tiny spots. I use everything from Desitin to Powder, but nothing seems to work. I also changed his diaper brand, but nothing.

How do I clean the inside of my purse and diaper bag?

Me. asked:


I have a purse I got at Kohl’s and a diaper bag I got at Target.

Both were about $40 each. They have been used by someone who smokes and I want to clean them. I have called all the dry cleaners in my area and no one cleans purses. The oustide of the purses are fine - it is the inside smell.

I don’t want to put them in my washer - for fear of breaking it. I have read to put baking soda on the inside and then Febreze it. My major concern is the smoke smell for the diaper bag - as I will be giving birth in a few days and I don’t want to contaminate my newborn’s things.

Should I just take them to the laundromat? I really can’t afford to buy another diaper bag - and I like the purse. Any suggestions???

My 8 week old wakes up every 3 hours during the night, and every time she wakes up I change her diaper, but after eating she stays awake for a while. If I dont change it, she would sleep right after eating, but I dont want her to get a rash.

What do you all do?

My son has had a diaper rash for a few days now and I just can’t seem to get it to go away. I’ve given him oatmeal baths, used different creams, let him go without a diaper for awhile, etc. I need help.
