My kids were lucky to only have a diaper rash a handful of times and the standard Desitin worked just fine. However, one time my daughter got a nasty rash with some sores and redness that caused her a lot of pain. Seeing her cry, kick, and scream was not something we could tolerate, so we rushed her to the pediatrician. After a quick look, they gave us this recipe. Then, after a quick trip to the pharmacy and the first use it soothed her bottom immediately. We applied it at every diaper change and it healed in just a couple of days.
Magic Diaper Rash Cream
- Maalox
- A&D
- Desitin
- Bacitracin
- Lotrimin
Instructions:
Mix together 2T of Maalox with half a tube of A&D, Desitin, Bacitracin, and Lotrimin.
Use after ever diaper rash until healed!
If your little one has a rash that needs something more powerful than the standard store-bought cream, this recipe just might do the trick! Now that I am expecting baby no. 3 I will be stocking up on these ingredients ASAP!
By the way, ask your doctor first, just to be safe!
What do u mean 2t of maalox do u mean teaspoons or tablespoons
I’m curious as well
Capital T is Tablespoon. Lower case t is teaspoon.
t is teaspoon, T is tablespoon! 🙂
Is the recipe 1/2 tube of all the ingredients or just a half a tube of A&D?
half a tube each of A&D, Desitin, Bacitracin, and Lotrimin
What can I use instead of maalox? I don’t know where to get this
Maalox is liquid antacid containing MAgnesium trisilicate and ALuminum hydrOXide – there should be many generic equivalent products available at any drug store (CVS, Walgreens, WalMart, Kroger, etc.. even Amazon)
Does this have to be refrigerated?
I never did
What size are these tubes?
