We just had our 2 months checkup at the doctors office and we were told that their is too much moisture in the creases of his groin to his legs. You could actually see the condensation and the slight red marks that were coming. We have quite the process when it comes to changing him but are obviously still learning.
First we wipe him down with a disposible wipe, we've been through a few brands, just gotta make sure their is no alcohol being used, and its sensitive, no fragrances, and hypoallergenic. Next we wet a cloth, we now have a stack of over 100 baby coloured wipes, to wipe off any residue that the wipe left.
Then we WERE using this Penaten Daily Protection Gel, of which I just went on the internet to attach a photo, and there are no photos out there... or a website thats in english. Weird. I know it is associated with Johnson and Johnson but its not even on their site. Anyways I am getting off topic, the first thing the doctor says is "Whats the zinc content", and I said its non-medicated. It says that right at the top, which I thought was a good thing. But our Doctor recommended a few brands. Right now we have switched back to the old favorite, the standard penaten cream: 
Im wondering has anyone else been through this? Ive also heard some people only put the cream on after they've done a number 2. Is there something that really works amazingly well. Ive heard of Sudocream, Zincofax, and a few others. Just looking for a consistent, proven, one that I can stick with all the time, that works. Thanks
Brianna got hives from the medicated Penaten (zinc)....so yeah we don't use that. I use the non medicated Penaten that you have been using and I use it after every diaper change. She gets diaper rash really easily and I find that it helps keep the moisture away from her skin. If she does get a rash, I use Aveen zinc oxide cream and that works great! Hope this helps! -Trina
ReplyDeleteWe use Penaten and it seems to work well for us. We only use it at night all over since he sleeps on his tummy now. And we let him air out once a day or more when he had a rash. It REALLY helped to do that. I keep Aveeno diaper rash cream in my diaper bag because it's an easy to use tube, and it seems to work well too.
ReplyDeleteMy inlaws swear by Sudocream, but we haven't tried it.
