Homemade Diaper Rash Cream

My daughter had a really bad diaper rash that would not go away using the usual ointments so I gave our Pediatrician a call.  He told me to try mixing Mylanta and Aquaphor into a paste and spread it on the rash.  I thought it was very odd, but it works! I obviously used the generic Walmart brand, but the ingredients and amounts were the same as the name brand.  I just bought a travel size shampoo bottle to put it in so it would be easier.  I have noticed a difference in the short time I have been using it. It is a little runny when I put it on, but I just make sure to have the clean diaper underneath her so there isn't a big mess. :)

  1. My pediatrician recommend this for my baby as well, she also said to keep it from being so messy to add a little vasaline to it.
