40% Zinc Oxide Desitin Diaper Rash Ointment

For treating nappy rashes and also great for overnight prevention:

Preventing nappy rashes:

-Use fragrance free, alcohol free baby wipes (or switch to using soft washcloths soaked in distilled water, with a tiny bit of vinegar, especially for newborns who tend to be more sensitive to baby wipes). Try a liter of distilled water to 2 tablespoons of vinegar.  Will help prevent yeast/fungal infections.

-Change frequently: every two to three hours (including twice at night time)

-Apply a generous amount of Desitin (seemed to work best fm my experience) ointment with every diaper change (or at least every other diaper change)
