I thought it was just a diaper rash…

My first born never really had sensitive skin or sensitivity to baby product ingredients, so when I had my second, it was a whirlwind when my newborn baby was always red and had diaper rashes!

There were so many factors to this. I switched to less toxic ingredient diapers, clean wipes, cleaner ingredient diaper cream, and was constantly doing diaper changes.

I found for regular diaper rashes, pure organic coconut oil worked great. When I topped it with Honest diaper cream, I saw even faster results. The redness would improve by the next diaper change or day.

If you are an oily mom, lavender and tea tree are also great oil options to mix in with the diaper rash formula.

Recently, we dealt with what I thought was just another rash, but when I looked it was extremely deep red with lots of bumps all around. After doing some research I realized it was a yeast infection. Lots of mom guilt over this for not seeing it sooner, but we’re potty trained now so I’m not constantly checking.

After lots of online searching, I found a recommendation for monsitat7, so since my usual diaper rash concoction wasn’t working, I decided to give it a try.

I applied monistat7 topically on the rash only, along with honest diaper cream on top since the monistat can be very drying. We saw improvement after 2 applications and it was a huge relief. The infection was almost completely gone within 3 days.

This is by no means medical advice and remember to always consult with your pediatrician! I’m just sharing what worked for us!
