Nothing hurts a mother more than not being able to stop their child’s pain. “I wish I could help him” and the doctor says “I know mom. It just has to take its course. That is what the doctor said to me when I brought my son in for an urgent visit; he had a severe diaper rash. He was in so much pain and discomfort.
How to prevent a diaper rash
To prevent a diaper rash seems so simple right: just change the baby every three hours, be conscious of the detergent, diaper brands, use unscented wipes and keep down there dry. Right ! And of course mom you did all that, but your baby still got a diaper rash.
I remember being so upset with myself and backtracking what I could have done to cause this. I had already had Destin on hand. It wasn’t working fast enough, so I went to Target and spent $40 dollars on every diaper rash cream in sight. I whipped everything together hoping it would relieve my baby. Nothing worked, so we took a trip to the doctor’s office. She prescribed a medicated cream that I could only get at that pharmacy and advised me to make sure the baby was extremely dry before applying any cream.
What is the best thing to use on a diaper rash ?
The same night I returned the products back to target and browsed around the store. While browsing, I found something so amazing and innovative. I found the baby bum brush by Bumco. It is a silicone applicator to be used when applying creams to your child’s bum or body. I was so excited to get home and share what I bought. You know when applying anything to our own skin or someone else’s it’s very important to make sure our hands are clean. We think they are clean, or may be in a rush and just apply the cream and our hands are not clean. Having the baby bum brush ensures cleanliness and gives me confidence that my child will be healed. Its really the best thing for a diaper rash. It’s also mess-free; destine on a finger gets everywhere. I bought the case too, which is great for storage and traveling.
