Love the reference "it can be quite a bit of choreography with a wiggly child".....great description of the literal s*** show changing a diaper can be!

[@DrDrayzday]

they are cute :)

[@jackson12802]

My daughter got a terrible rash once. Her pediatrician actually recommended not using store bought wipes period especially during a rash. She stated even the unscented Kind can have irritants. She told use to just cut up a receiving blanket or old T-shirt and water. Or viva paper towels(they are soft) for a disposable option.

[@Jane-tf1dn]

"There's no need for babies to be fragranced". How true! Baby smell and puppy breath shouldn't be messed with LOL! Really though, the highly fragranced baby wipes need to go!

[@DrDrayzday]

i know!

[@soph7676]

Agree! The only wipes I use are the Huggies Natural Care.....nothing applied to that region should be fragranced. Diapers, wipes, feminine hygiene products, etc!

[@Christine__D]

You're absolutely correct about baby smell and puppy breath 🥰

[@trudy-annmcfarlane2406]

@@soph7676 You’re so right Sophia. I hate fragrances myself. I use all organic and fragrance free for my little one

[@reganlabounty3931]

And almost all diapers (the ones at hospitals ahem pampers) have fragrance built right in! So weird and not cool

[@alejandramunoz2739]

Microfleece liners, wool liners, and athletic jersey liners against babies bum when using cloth diapers help wick moisture away from babies skin. Change at most every 2 hrs during the day. I use Twinkie Tush Hybrid Fitted Diapers. More absorbent than any disposable and either all cotton or organic bamboo materials so they’re breathable! Use cloth wipes with water (I mix wipe bits) in a small spray bottle. 3 kids in and I’ve never had a diaper rash or needed a cream. Even when my babies are teething. It can be work for some but definitely worth it.

[@karyon1007]

I'm living for these videos about skin care for babies! Would've loved having them a year ago, but thanks to your other videos and advice from the pediatrician, we've already been using a lot of the baby products you've recommended (i.e. lots of CeraVe)! Took some trial and error with my kid's sensitive skin, so I'm glad to get confirmation from you that we should keep doing what we're doing! Thanks!

Glad you mentioned not to be using the OTC hydrocortisone long term because our pediatrician didn’t specify when to stop and I notice her skin is peeling and the rash has completely changed but not resolved for over 4 weeks now 😯

[@dianeberberich553]

I'm due in a few months and needed this video! Thanks for coming through yet again, Dr. Dray!

[@gundog4273]

Cloth diaper communities talk about "stay dry" liners. These can be made from micro fleece or called polar fleece at Joanne fabrics. This is different from standard fleece. Somehow the fabric allows moisture to go through but still stay dry. Some mothers use them in disposable diapers for very sensitive babies. I use them to keep my children from getting friction rash from the rough cotton of my cloth diapers.

[@DrReedB0928]

[@marisuhh1]

[@Legal.Knievel]

Are you open to using tampons or a cup? It's probably from the moisture.

[@Hfgdksue7]

Yes me too I noticed changing my pad frequently and using non fragrance pads really help

[@mkim0713]

use absorbent panties! I recently bought them from amazon and you don't need to wear pads! just wear the panties. there are ones made up of bamboo.

[@DrDrayzday]

it is not uncommon and the same mechanisms go in to play as with diaper rash

[@Patti-1962]

I can't thank you enough for this incredibly informative video. I mentioned in a comment a few weeks ago that my one year old grandson was suffering with an extremely "angry" diaper rash. He wears cloth diapers, but they are designed to wick away moisture. I actually sewed a ton of organic cotton fabric, 8 inch, two layer wipes for him. used with water. (These make great baby gifts!) The cause of his diaper rash was a stomach virus. So. the poor little guy spent some serious time without a diaper!😧 I will be sharing this video!

My son had a terrible rash in his diaper area that his pediatrician diagnosed as eczema. It went on for years. Eventually we figured out it was dermatitis herpetaformis. I really wish we'd pushed for a referral to a dermatologist because we could have saved my son so much pain, as well as prevented years of gluten exposure.

[@rsarahi14]

I use corn starch. My family has used it for generations. Wash the area with warm soapy water and dry very well. And then use the corn starch like baby powder would be used. Rash gone the next day

[@judiepollick3178]

Yes! When my daughter was a baby (over 42 yrs. ago), she had the worst diaper rash imaginable caused by strong urine. Nothing helped not even the prescription cream from the doctor. I was beside myself & in tears when my Mom said, "Just use cornstarch". It was like a miracle cure! To this day I use cornstarch myself in lieu of baby powder.

[@roxybes]

Honestly, cornstarch is the best thing for diaper rash. I'm glad I listened to my mom and grandma.

Hi Dr. Dray, I understand that you are a very knowledgeable dermatologist. Thank you for all of the wonderful information. It’s super helpful. I was wondering if there is a way you could potentially share with us some of the ingredients to avoid in baby diapers, to continue to care for baby skin. Any tips or recommendations are extremely helpful 🙏🏻 thank you so much!

[@sammylove14]

Very good info Dr Dray! I am shopping for a baby shower so I decided to watch this.

[@believestthouthis7]

Highly recommend trying GroVia Magic Stick Diaper Balm. It is all natural, super effective and not messy.

[@Legal.Knievel]

Most store brand diapers are fragrance and chlorine free 🙌🏼 the Kirkland ones are great. Pampers are heavily fragranced, though. We do not and will not use them. We also use unscented Baby Dove wash on our babies and All Free & Clear on their/our clothes. We opt for fragrance free whenever possible.

[@joannab5584]

Pampers Pure contain no fragrance!!

[@Legal.Knievel]

@@joannab5584 but they're wildly expensive compared to other fragrance free brands and they fit terribly too.

[@joannab5584]

Agreed, they are more expensive! But I guess every little bottom is a different shape, because of all the fragrance free brands we have tried the Pampers Pure fit by far the best for my babies 🤷‍♀️.

[@Legal.Knievel]

@@joannab5584 pretty much every diaper except Pampers and Luvs are fragrance free. You've tried Up & Up, Cloud Island, Kirkland, Comforts, and Seventh Generation? I would hate for you to spend all that money when there are so many options.

Triple Paste is the BEST diaper rash cream. It always knocked out my kids diaper rash overnight!

[@marshjulie1990]

My now 4 year old would have the worst diarrhea to accompany his teething. It took me a little while to figure put the best care for his sensitive bum, but what worked was to always wash him after using the wipes to completely get the acidic poo off of him. Then I'd use a blow drier on low or no heat at a safe distance to thoroughly dry him. Then I'd express some breastmilk and rub that on his bottom and let it dry followed by another blow dry and finally ending it with virgin coconut oil. The zinc oxide creams would help normally but the acidity of his teething poops instantly made his behind raw. I also liked how natural it all was and he felt so much better immediately. Of course with a baby girl you may want to use caution using coconut oil around the vulva area.

[@andviim760]

My mom is a baby nurse. Has been my whole life (I’m 30) she instilled in me from day one when I had my son (he’s 8 months) to put something on his bum and creases. EVERY DIAPER CHANGE. I usually just alternate between petroleum jelly and Desitin (fragrance free zinc). Whichever one I grab.

[@tangomango5360]

Shannon K Destin was my go-to. Just slathered all over the bottom after bath. And changed diapers religiously after each pee & poo...lol.., and no rash 👍

[@Legal.Knievel]

I used Aquaphor as a barrier ointment on my niece and I do currently for my twins (12 months). They've never had a diaper rash under my care. My son had a minor one when he was in the NICU and my niece when she was with her mom but I used some zinc oxide ointment and it cleared right up!

[@extraterrestrial.earthling5535]

Dalai Mami I just just the petroleum bc it’s cheap and does the job. My son only got a little red once when he was cutting teeth but I did the same and just slapped more zinc on and it was gone.

[@DrDrayzday]

👍

[@jackson12802]

Yep. I even cloth diaper and have never had issues(minus diarrhea or antibiotics) I believe because I put butt cream on every change.

Ive been in so much pain due to diaper rash and am going to try these creams and practices. I have been using a higher percent zinc oxide cream but it isn’t cutting it.

I swear by Cavilon cream. Not sure if it's available in the US, but it's a cream used for patients with incontinence, or those who are bed bound and prone to sores. Its often used in hospitals on patients here. It also works amazingly well at preventing nappy rash. We tried so many different creams marketed for nappy rash, and it's the only stuff we found to prevent it.

[@etc6615]

Good morning Dr Dray ❤️ How about allergic reaction to sanitary napkins 😭.

[@ddl4374]

[@barnes-md7mf]

Its hard to find truly fragrance free wipes. I have really liked using the brand Water Wipes. Also letting my little one run around diaper-free for a little while to help air out their bum and using a zinc based diaper cream when diapered. Lastly, my pediatrition recommended soaking their bum in diluted Domboro powder, but I didnt find that to be all that effective, the "air time" made the bigger difference.

[@joannab5584]

Agree! Diaper free time is the best remedy!

[@DrDrayzday]

My mom says I never had diaper rash. Back in the day (70s), Pampers and diapers as we now know them didn't exist yet, not in this country (Belgium) at least, and so I wore regular flannel/cotton cloth. She always used powder (talcum back in the day) and cream sometimes (Penaten) and kept the area well protected.

Oups...! Voici la traduction Hi! You have to take care of your little ones' skin! In addition to the problems caused by diapers and products used, these babies can have good care for other areas of their body. Many of us would probably have liked to be able to be educated at a very young age in a routine. That would certainly have saved us some problems. We talk about routine for the grown-ups but we should never forget the little ones!

I’m having trouble finding any truly fragrance free wipes... anybody else find some?

[@barnes-md7mf]

I use Water Wipes. You can find them in-store at Target and Kroger, not Walmart, or order online. They are water and a drop of grapefruit extract to prevent mold, thats it. They are pricier than huggies, pampers, but about the same as Honest. The only down side, I think, is that they are not accordion stacked, so when you pull one out, the next one does not pop up. That can be annoying.

[@joannab5584]

Second the water wipes! At home you can even just use large cotton pads and water.

[@CrAzYhairShOw]

Thanks for the replies guys! So the grapefruit extract does not qualify as a fragrance? That was my concern.

[@joannab5584]

@Kate Ha, well I guess that’s a question for the good Dr 😜 But I figured as it was only .1% fruit extract and 99.9% water (most other sensitive or fragrance free wipes are 99% water and then a 1% mix of surfactants and preservatives) that it would probably be ok. I also only use the packaged wipes when I’m out and about, and at home just use the large cotton facial rounds and warm water.
