This weeks Works For Me Wednesday I am going to let you know how I get rid of my sons diaper rash. He has a very sensitive tummy so somethings he eats cause his rash. As he has getting older his tummy seems to be getting better.
Well for his diaper rash when we would first see it start we used Lansinoh wipes. They are made by the same company that makes Lansinoh cream for nursing mothers.
Since they have NO alcohol they do not burn or irritate the rash even more.
Here are a couple of money saving tips:
Target has their own brand. some stores have been about $.75 cheaper than the name brand. If the target brand is out I will buy the Lansinoh brand. The Target ones are already $2.44 for 80 wipes
ALSO
Target baby wipes in the blue package,(now Up & Up brand here) Sensitive I believe, has lanolin in them. I have tried 2 brands of sensitive ones on Munchkin and anything with alcohol she screams the Target ones she likes just as well. Less expensive
So that is what Works For Me!!!!
Good tip!
ReplyDeleteI have used Lansinoh on my kids' bottoms for years! The very first diaper rash my oldest had was when she was about a year old - after she had really started eating solids. She never had it while she was exclusively breastfed. But when she had it, it was BAD! I tried a couple of things and each time I changed her she just screamed. Out of desperation, I grabbed the lansinoh from the diaper bag and put that on her. Within AN HOUR the rash was GONE! Can you believe it?
ReplyDeleteI never felt the need to buy the wipes because I always had the tube handy and just used it directly on her bottom. I've used it on chapped lips and sore noses. It's wonderful! I'm glad you discovered it and use it in some way or another (in the wipes.)
It makes a great baby shower gift, as long as you include in the card that it's useful for more than just breastfeeding. I've given it to couples who had no intention of nursing at all, but my intention is for it to go on the baby!
