Different Diaper Rash Treatment

I just heard of a new diaper rash treatment from our pediatrician that he says the local Children's Hospital uses for babies who get diaper rash after having diarrhea. They combine equal parts Aquaphor (healing ointment) and Maalox (yes, Maalox), mix well and apply. Then store the rest in the fridge and take out to apply until rash is gone. Apparently the Maalox neutralizes the stomach acid in the diarrhea on the skin.

I looked it up online and apparently a lot of mothers knew about it already. I have never heard of this before and we are on our sixth child between us! I wish I'd heard about this a few kids ago.

Share this with other moms you know. Perhaps I'm not the only mother who has not heard of this yet.
