Working moms do not have enough time on their hands for elaborate rash remedial procedures. They have to resort to instantaneous relief measures which are sometimes dubious. We bring you a list of instant diaper rash remedies. Bag balm is a known soother that is applied on a cow’s udder after milking. This can also be used as an effective ointment for chapped and irritated skin. Since it is 100 percent organic, it has no disastrous chemical after-effects. Bag balm can be obtained in drug stores, ski resorts, farm and feed stores. They are cost effective and it is sufficient to apply them on baby rash just once every day. Heavy coating is required and at nights, the baby should have lukewarm baking soda baths. Redness will definitely be gone the next day. Many doctors are advising against wet wipes and baby wipes. They may exude the best of fragrance but they are nevertheless, soaked with artificial inorganic chemicals. For working moms on the go, the best thing would be to carry 2 big Ziploc covers one for self-made wipes and the other for soiled ones. The self-made wipes are done by soaking just small pieces of cloth in boiling water, straining them and pressing them. They have been proved to be more effective than commercial baby wipes products. A superfast chemical that works quick wonders is Milk of magnesia. Pour milk of magnesia all over the rash and the rashes are healed even before the next diaper change. Coconut oil and vegetable oil are also effective soothers but they take time to heal. On the other hand, cod liver oil capsules can be bought over the counter in many drug stores. The capsules should not be given orally. Instead, they have to be slightly pricked to squeeze the liquid out from them. Then a liberal portion of this liquid has to be applied on the affected area. It is definitely a guaranteed quick relief. If you do not want to apply anything on baby skin, then take the diaper and pour liquid antacid on the diaper itself. The liquid is absorbed by the diaper material but the soothing action stays for a long while. It prevents further sores from occurring.
