A lot of diaper rash remedies are available. Some are purely organic while others are commercial products that are well-tested and tried and true. Parents have to experiment with different types of products to see which suits their baby best. The first is Munchskins bum bum balm. It is an instant reliever. It comes in a small compact tin that can fit into your purse. It is 100 percent natural as it contains organic ingredients. Although it is waxy, it is not greasy and will not leave a stain on baby clothes. It also comes with a fragrance that is just right, neither too strong nor too mild. This also ensures that the baby is not affected by the smell. The next best thing and one that always is a sure-shot cure is the “air it out” method. Let your baby be diaper free for half an hour several times day or for however long you can. This is an effective remedy that makes the rash vanish very quickly. The air we breathe is a natural healer and better than commercial baby ointments and diaper creams available in the market. One of the root causes for rash is lack of fresh air circulation around an infant’s bottom. By allowing your baby to go diaper-free, the area is dry and clean and gets a lot of fresh air. Just make sure that the room is warm enough. Then spread a waterproof tablecloth or a mattress on the floor. Cover this with a soft, washable blanket. Lay baby on this and allow him or her to be diaper free for half an hour. If done several times a day, it helps speed up the healing process. Some of the commercial products that are effective are Boudreaux’s butt paste, Burt’s Bees baby bee diaper ointment and A&D ointment. The butt paste is a general cure for any type of irritated or sore skin. It is especially good for babies with sensitive skin. Burt’s ointment is good for recurring rashes but it comes with a strong scent. A&D is an old brand but it is gentle, effective and cheap. It does not leave a stain.
