Since we're on the subject, here's another tip for the diaper area.
Once in a while your baby's bottom is raw and maybe even bleeding in spots. Ouch. Very painful. Your baby screams if you try to put ointment on it--because it HURTS. It's futile anyway, because no ointment will stick to those raw spots. When one of my babies was in agony like this, someone told me that cornstarch would dry out that raw skin. It's true! It's painless, and dries up the skin very quickly. Hint: I got one of these shakers, filled it with cornstarch, and kept it on my changing table. Perfect.
To good diapering. Bottoms Up!
a shaker! Why didn't I think of that!?!?!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Since we mothers spend so much time taking care of our little babies diapers, I'd say this kind of information is just as valuable to us as any information in a business book is to business men!
ReplyDeleteI have used corn starch many times on the bottoms of my babies. It really does work great.
ReplyDeletewow, do you know if this will work with cloth diapers?
ReplyDeleteYes it will. I used cloth diapers for eight babies, then switched to disposables for the last three. It will work perfectly.
DeleteThanks Mom! (since I probably didn't thank you at the time :-) and my babies thank you ahead of time:-)
ReplyDeleteGood idea Cathy.
ReplyDeleteAnd its so much better than paying extra for the Johnson's label on baby powder that says "pure cornstarch powder."
I wish I would've read this about a week ago! My little guy had the stomach flu and he got pretty raw in his diaper area. He DID cry when I put the ointment on, poor little thing. I will definitely be remembering this for next time.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this tip! I needed to read this cause my little one has such a red bottom right now. I love your blog! Blessings on you : )
