Baby Talk: Diaper Rashes and Red Bottoms

Poor babies! How do they get these little nasty things called diaper rashes? It looks so painful!

When I was in the hospital with my little angel, the nurses gave us a cream called magic paste. It was literally magic. A nurse even told us a story of a woman who needed it so desperately and couldn't get it without a prescription so she bought all the ingredients and made it herself. The paste eventually expires. Over the counter creams barely work. I learned a home remedy.

First, you boil 3 packs of chamomile tea in about 2 cups of water. The more potent, the better. Let cool. Now, you can apply it after every diaper change. This is good to do when the diaper rash is extreme. For mild cases, I just added some into the wipe warmer. The vapor enters each wipe, which eliminates the tedious routine of applying it directly to the rash.

Remember wipes have alcohol, so try to limit the use. Wash the baby with water instead of always using the wipes. Changing the baby constantly will help prevent and cure the problem. Hoped this little home remedy helps....
