Diaper cream is very useful for babies to protect them from diaper rashes. There are so many of diaper cream available in the market but i prefer to use organic diaper cream for my baby becase her skin is very sensitive. I prefer to use Aveeno diaper rash cream that really best to use for all baby skin type.

amost types of diaper creams are not meant for cloth diapers and will actually ruine them in the long run and cause them to loose the ability to remain waterproof. if you have a warranty on namebrand cloth diapers using any cream at all voids that warranty completely. the best "cream" for a cloth diapered baby with a rash is organic coconut oil. it has many benificial factors to it along with being an antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-etc. its about $10 for a jar but will last a very long time unless you are like me and use it to prevent and get rid of pre existing streach marks. ;)

At 3 days old...we came home from the hospital and i used a baby wipe on Ella and she developed a nasty rash:( I bought cotton and used those with water only to clean her bum and used corn starch after air drying her each changing and with in a day and a half she was all better:)

I use Waitrose Bottom Butter! You'll only know what that is if you're from the UK - but it's brilliant!

Angel baby bottom balm. I put it on at the hint of redness, and it's usually cleared up in a few hours. I'll probably pick up some coconut oil soon... I've heard a lot of people say it works great.

DEFINITELY pin this! I had no idea there was ANY rash cream safe for CDs! I've been using disposables when I need to use rash cream (we're on Desitin Maximum Strength now). I'm hesitant to try anything else because DS flipped out when I ran out of Desitin and used Johnson & Johnson cream. You would have thought I was torturing him. I think his skin is going to be really sensitive. I'll try cornstarch on our next diaper change though...

Oh, and I also use cornstarch if needed. It really helps steal the moisture away from the bum and bam! I even use it on myself.

ETA, sorry, didn't realize where the question was posted!

We don't mind...just be warned, we have been known to convert mamas to cloth

it's true..

On the note of the OP- I haven't used diaper cream yet. I'm so used to seeing her sensitive skin turn red and ouchy that we just let it pass, it's usually gone before too long...and back again. It's gotten TONS better with cloth, but redness is still there once in a while. Oh, and this should be pinned. Totally beneficial to anyone who might encounter a need and not know what is "safe" on cloth.
