   the baby probably has a yeast infection,
   you will need mycostatin to be added in the mix with the zinc oxide cream

   Triple Paste is by far the best stuff I ever used. It worked when even the prescription stuff didn’t for my son.

   Keep up the air drying then use the cornstarch but by itself, no with anything else, just the powder. And use cornstarch, not a baby powder with cornstarch, just the plain cornstarch and be liberal with it.

   In your other question you stated you switched diaper brands, what you need to do is switch diapers from disposable to cloth. Cloth breathes much better and with the newer types of cloth diapers you don’t use plastic pants or rubber pants over them to trap heat and moisture that induces diaper rashes.

   With cloth diapers, diaper rashes are very few and far between if at all when you change the diapers as soon as they get wet.

   We all have gotten so used to being able to leave a disposable diaper on the baby because it wicks the moisture away from the skin, but you need to remember, that diaper is covered with a sheet of plastic, even the “cloth like feel” diapers and this plastic sheet raises the temperature under that diaper much higher making the skin an ideal breeding ground for a diaper rash.

   Please seriously consider changing. I know it requires some extra effort to wash and dry the diapers but in turn, you don’t have to make trips to the store late at night when you run out of disposable diapers.

   You may wonder where I’m coming from with this information. I am incontinent and have to wear diaper 24 / 7. I have (and sometimes do) wear both types of diapers but I prefer and most of the time do wear cloth diapers.

   Being an adult though I have to wear plastic pants over mine but I will tell you one thing. Since I switched to cloth diapers most of the time, I have never had another diaper rash. I would get them all the time when I wore the disposable diapers all te time.

   I also am a married male and yes, I launder my own diapers so that my wife doesn’t have to deal with them. I usually do three large loads a week and I dry the in the dryer. Occasionally I hang them out in the sun to get naturally bleached and have the sun’s natural anti-bacterial properties do their thing. I would not go back to disposable diapers full time, ever again.

   I hope this information helps you make an informed decision as to what to do with your baby.

   Good luck.

   Liking your site very much. Some really helpful info. Influencing you baby’s gender seems like a pretty simple and straightforward task – if you know some insider tricks. Thanks!
