Over the past 4-5 days, we have been dealing with Will’s first true diaper rash. The last two days have by far been the worst. The stuff comes out of nowhere and sticks around — particularly because, now that diaper changing hurts, Will does his best to hide his diapering needs. This morning saw our first sign of improvement and Will did not shed any tears during the two changes we’ve had today. Our choice ointment for fastest improvement: regular destin (highest percentage of zinc oxide). Choice for daily maintance? The local brand: Boudreaux’s Butt Paste.

We like using Aquaphor too…and it’s so not paste-like.

I think you can buy straight zinc oxide, but since I am childless, I haven’t a clue if the doctors actually recommend that on kids.
