Simple and cheap rememdy that WORKS!
Diane Hawkins in Nolanville, Texas -I discovered this trick working with a guy that had twins that never had a diaper rash a day in their childhood. He told me to wash a baby's bum after every diaper change. I modified his technique to using a wet wash cloth because his method was too time consuming.
I purchased about 14 Gerber thin wash cloths and put it in the bathroom. Everytime, my daughter's diaper was changed, we used the wet wash cloth to wipe away the ammonia. Just run cloth under tap water and rinse out with same hand. You want it moist but not super dry because it will chaffe baby's skin. Wipe gently.
I have doing this since the first day my daughter was home from hospital and she hasn't had a rash yet. (she is almost 10 months)
With a poopy diaper, I wipe with a baby wipe first so it's clean, then I'll use a wet wash cloth.
Always use the wash cloths once and put in laundry. Don't keep reusing. Also change baby's diaper about every 2.5 to 3 hours and your baby will never have a rash.
Tip for newborns is to warm cloths first so it's not so cold on their bum. When they are older, you can use cold water instead of waiting for water to warm up.
When we are out of the house, I just put a few of the cloths in a sandwich bag and wet it in the bathroom to change baby's diaper. Then I'll put the soiled cloths back in sandwich bag to laundry it when I get home.
Good luck.

Egg Whites & Corn Starch
Jayme in Portland, OR USA -Hi, last night I found this website and used cornstarch and zinc cream but it was still bad today so I tried the egg white remedy. Highly recommend for taking the redness and bumps away within hours! I applied them only twice but generously and let air dry a little before putting her diaper back on, loosely. Now I will use corn starch to hopefully keep it from recurring. Thanks!

I'm trying the egg whites right now!
Crystal Lane in Troutman, NC -I read a few articles on egg whites. I just gave my son a long warm bath. I then hair-blower dried his bottom. I read that one too. I will attempt to report soon on if the egg whites work for me! :)

Zinc Oxide - Works every time
Norah in San Francisco, CA -Like a miracle! Safe, Easy and Extremely Effective. Sooo soothing for those soft little baby bottoms. Apply and next day rash is gone. Also forms a barrier protecting against future rashes. Just make sure to apply it to a clean, dry butt.

Simple but oh so effective.
AP in California -To make your paste you will need vaseline (petroleum jelly of some sort) and 100% pure corn starch. Add the vaseline to a small container that you can reuse and start adding corn starch by the spoon. Mix with a butterknife until it is worked into a paste. How thick is personal preference. It works regardless. For me, the more starch the better. Apply it generously to the affected area. The starch will absorb the bad stuff and the vaseline will keep your childs bottom lubricated. You'll be surprised at the next diaper change. I went through numerous products and had the answer the whole time at home. Have fun. . .

Sulfer and vasoline
Katie Eagle in Georgia -This came from my husbands grandma. We used it on all 3 of my children when the rash gets bad. Go to the pharmacist and ask for sulfer powder. Mix a little with Vaseline and apply to babies bottom. Over night it will be cleared up for the most part.

Simple Egg White Cure.
Martin. in Ireland -When my three boys have had bad nappy rash we take an egg white, whisk it for a couple of seconds just to get a couple of bubbles started on it , still clear though, then rub lots(be generous) gently onto sore bottom, save the rest in the fridge for the next three-four nappy changes. Baby normally feeling better and bottom looking much better within hours !

Corn Starch
Gabby in Houston, TX -My niece is just about the most delicate child when it comes to her bottom. She cant use any scented whipes, or certain brands of diapers. If you want FAST, and PAINLESS treatment that works you should try something my grandmother told me. Corn Starch, I specifically use a brand in spanish "Maicena" its amazing, please try it.

Chamomille Tea
Gabby in Houston, TX -Another thing you can definitely try alternately to corn starch is chamomille tea, or in spanish, te de manzanilla. Boil some on the stove and let is cool to a nice comfortable warm temperature. Take the baby [or whoever] and rinse the bottom with the chamomille tea. Its refreshing, let the baby's bottom soak in it for a couple of minutes. Then let the baby's bottom air dry. Rash should be gone in a few hours. Good luck.
