Diaper rash is a worry of every parent with a baby. A diaper rash affects the skin which comes in contact with the diaper and may lead to intense pain to the child. One way to cure a diaper rash is to apply a layer of a cream of ointment which acts as a separator between baby's skin and wet diaper. However a cream is made of chemicals after all and may affect adversely if used too much.
We are using Desi Ghee (an Indian form of Clarified Butter) in place of any cream and results have been wonderful. We never had a problem of a rash in last 1 year. It is highly cost effective as well, with one ounce lasting you over a week.
Just keep some Ghee in a small microwaveable box, heat it and use it to spread over diaper area during every change. It does not smell bad and does a great job of preventing rashes. Even if you don't have a microwave, you can keep it in a small metal bowl and heat over stove. During summers it would remain in liquid form.
It not only prevents a rash but Desi Ghee is a great cure for an existing rash as well. Try using this and you don't need to worry about any side effects as it is after all a natural product made from only milk fat, used like butter in Indian food.
If you are reading this in some western country and don't know what Desi Ghee is, just head to the nearest Indian grocery store and you will find it.
