Most babies in todays world will have at least one bad diaper rash sometime in their life. Some babies get diaper rashes regardless of how many times you have changed them or how clean they are. There is babies that are just really sensitive to the point where, even certain diapers will make them break out with a rash. My baby girl was extremely sensitive when she was around 6 months old to about 1 1/2 years old. No matter how many times I washed her or even let her butt air dry the rash still appeared. When a baby gets a diaper rash just imagine how uncomfortable they must feel. Being a mother it made me feel so bad for her, knowing that none of the products I have tried worked on her. I think the look and pain of the diaper rash bothered me more than it bothered her.

I started trying out all different products on her to see what products worked the best. I was mixing everything I can possibly imagine that I knew that would be safe to place on a child's butt. Sometimes as a parent we just have to keep finding and experimenting new ideas until we find the right ones. While doing this I came to the conclusion that I have really discovered some really great remedies to treat a child's diaper rash. Here are those awesome tip:

1. Baby powder mixed with a little bit of shortening- Grab a bowl mix these two items together until you have a nice thick consistency of a paste like texture. Place this on your baby's butt make sure you have enough on the rash. It's always better to have more on then less when it comes to something like this then place the diaper on. When it's time for the next diaper change wipe the child's butt very gently with a soft rag place some powder on their butt and another diaper on. This will help, especially when your child butt is very red and raw looking.

We use to use this stuff with cod liver oil in it. We used it for heat rashes. The name of the product escapes me, but it was some nasty looking stuff. Worked like a charm though.
