When my 6 year old was spending most of her first year at Vanderbilt Hospital, we had a diaper rash occur while there and WOW did the nurses give us a recipe that should never be lost! Well, we lost it, and it took my sweet niece being here for a visit to find the recipe again courtesy of our pediatrician. YAY! Even if you are not a parent, I am sure you know someone who is that could use this. I have in the past made a recipe card and bought all the ingredients for a new mom for a shower gift. Now, I have a word of CAUTION!, there are recipes out there that claim to be this recipe, but they are not. Some of the ingredients that were given to us (and stressed to be the exact ones) are not the ones that are being published by other blogs or posts. Please make sure to follow exactly, it is very important the right ingredients get used.
As always, it is important to ask your doctor if it is ok to use any product or medicine on a child.......
So here it is!!!!
HAPPY HINEY DIAPER RASH CREAM!
mix all ingredients thoroughly in equal parts in an airtight container
1 Tbsp. of Aquaphor or Butt Paste (generic is fine just make sure the same ingredients)
1 Tbsp. of Monistat (generic is fine)
1 Tbsp. of 1% Hydrocortisone ointment (not cream)
1 Tbsp. of original (not mint) Maalox
Use with each diaper change until diaper rash is gone. Important message from me, Do Not dip your finger in the container each swipe you put on your child....you are contaminating the jar. My advice is to use a sterile popsicle stick or something similar to put to your hand and then your hand to your child's skin.
I hope that this helps each mother when the dreaded diaper rash appears.
