Hi,
I have a 7 months old baby girl. She has developed diaper rashes past 2 weeks. I donno what to do. The doc asked me to apply a cream (rashfree), but that isn't working. My parents ask not to put on diaper on her or any cloth. But the problem is that she has no proper time to pass motion (also number of times),, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening or night. If I leave her open, without diaper or cloth, she messes up so well that I have to give her a bath after she passes motion.
What can I do? Is there is home remedy for diaper rash? Any way I can avoid it?
Please help...

OK, 2nd point,, she has cold. Nose block at night,, cough at night,, medicines isn't working. Have been to doctor 3 times already. HELP...

She also has been vomiting,, not every time but least once a day... what do I do.. I am very tensed,, she is my 2nd child,, lost the 1st one when she was 6 months old... she died after her lungs were blocked due to cold... m very scared...

There are several diaper rash creams on the market. I found Balmex to work best, for us.

Now, are your baby's bowel movements watery? And does she have a fever? If so, how high?

Vomiting and watery bowel movement could be an indication of an infection in the digestive system. A rash with fever accompanied with a runny nose and a dry cough could be an indication that your baby is developing a childhood disease, like measles. If either of these is the case, see your doctor. If this has been the situation, and you have already seen the same doctor three times, I recommend you get a second opinion from another doctor!

Let me know if this helped or you need more information.

Good luck and health to both of you.

Just change her often and soak her in a warm bath with oatmeal. It will pull the redness out and sooth the skin. You can do this daily.

Yes, this is a good one. Use a blender or food processor to blend or process the oats into a fine power. Stir into water and soak. Be careful, the oatmeal will make the tub slipperier than normal.

Glad to hear your baby is doing better. :)
