Some remedies are all natural and organic, while others are commercial concoctions that are tried and true. Experiment with different types to see what works for you and your baby. 1 Dimpleskins (formerly Munchskins) Bum Bum Balm Dimpleskins Bum Bum Balm.

It's not too greasy and it won't leave a white mess on clothes like other creams. In addition, the smell is great but not too strong or offensive. 2 The "Air it Out" Method If you've got the time, the best (and cheapest) way to heal diaper rash is to air it out. Let your baby go diaper-free for half an hour several times a day or as long as you are able and you will see the diaper rash vanish very quickly. 3 Boudreaux's Butt Paste Butt Paste.

You can use it for chapped skin anywhere on the body. When the diaper rash is gone you won't feel like you've got cream sitting around going to waste. 4 Burt's Bees Baby Bee Diaper Ointment Baby Bee Ointment.

So, if you or your baby are sensitive to heavy scents, this should be your last choice. 5 A&D Ointment A and D Ointment.

It is made up of quite a bit of petroleum jelly (like Vaseline). So, it's not recommended if your child is wearing anything you don't want to be stained. 6 Triple Paste Triple Paste.

It used to be the case that it was hard to find and most folks heard about it from the health care providers when nothing else was working. Now, it's available at most drug and discount stores. It may seem expensive, but a very little bit goes a long way. 7 Make Your Own Herbal Salve Herb Gardens Guide Amy Jeanroy uses herbal salves to help heal diaper rash and chapped skin.
