My little one is only a few days old and has a diaper rash from constant urinating and pooping to get rid of jaundice, I am changing her at least once an hour and bathing her bottom in warm water. Is there a good home remedy out there that will help quick?

Udder Balm, It was origionally manufactured for Dairy cattle that had chapped udders, but has been found to be really good for all kinds af thing from chapped dry skin and hands to diaper rash. I used it on my kids who had horrible diaper rash. I had tried everything on the market includung some prescription creams and nothing worked as well as the Udder Balm (can also be called bag balm) My parents own a dairy farm and use this regularly. It is completly safe and my kids are now 14 and 15. We now have a new addition to our family, my nephew and we started using this on him and it clears up his faster than anything else that has been tried as well. You can sometimes find this product at wal mart and if not a local farm supply store or even on the internet. The plus is that not only does it work extremly well, But it is also very affordable, just remember, a litttle goes a long way with this so a smaller jar will last you a long time, I bought a larger jar and still have yet to use it up. As far as the cost, it runs for 5 to 15 dollars depending on the size of the containe and where you but it.

I haven't used it and not sure if it's a home remedy, but Burts Bees Wax is all natural, if that's what your wanting from home remedy.
You can also use cloth diapers to help breath more, maybe just changing the brand of diapers you are using or the type of soap you are cleaning your cloth diapers in will help. Also air exposure is great for little bottoms! They don't necessarily like being cooped up in that diaper. You can get those pads like you had in the hospital to lay the baby on in the floor and it will act as the protection for your floor (although I might put a vinyl table cloth under/around that they have great spray ability sometimes!)

I know that corn powder in the tub has been recommended to me by my doctors for my babies. If that doesn't help and you are willing to, I would use some Desitin, the regular, not creamy. It's thick enough that it stays on and protects, but not so thick that it is hard to spread, which hurts them, like Balmex. Also, if you don't mind a little tinkle getting on a towel or something, let him/her air dry as often as possible. After a diaper change just slide the new diaper under their bottom and let them hang out and dry for 5-10 minutes. Good Luck, there is nothing worse than a diaper rash that doesn't want to go away.

i always preferred desitin creamy or balmex. also don't use baby wipes on her. use a clean, warm wash cloth after every diaper change. even only urine. but the soap in the wipes will burn. try laying her on a thick towel and some changing pads without a diaper on. at least for a little while each day. (or several times a day if you can.) the air will help the rash clear faster.
good luck! hang in there... it gets better!

I liked the Desitin Creamy (there are two kinds regular and creamy). Also, make sure her bottom gets a lot of air. If you can, dry her gently after her bath and let her go without a diaper for a little while. Then put the Desitin on. And avoid wet wipes! They sting when they have a rash.

As much bare bum time as possible.
My son will be a year old on the 28th and never had a diaper rash until he started daycare 3 weeks ago, and they slathered him with diaper cream at each diaper change.
Fresh air and some sunshine is the best thing for sore bums.

After bathing her bottom, let her air dry for a few minutes. Afterwards, pat a little cornstarch on her bottom, then follow up with a good diaper cream. Although expensive, Dr. Smith's was our favorite. It's a pain, but do this at every change and it should help drastically!

clean air will help the diaper holds moisture in and keeps a diaper rash from being healed. enable the toddler bypass and not using a diaper that's going to likely be humorous observing his amazing butt run throughout, I enable my son run bare after a bathtub to enable his butt dry. additionally it sounds extraordinary yet fairly WORKS. Take some flour and placed it in a pan and on low stir it especially circumstances till at last the flour tunrs brown, then enable it cool and placed on the babys butt. My son had a bad rash and not something became working we used the browned flour and it became long gone later that day. GL

One thing that seems to work at any age is cornstarch. It absorbs the moisture and doesn't irritate skin. I've used it in a pinch, when I didn't have any creams. Make sure you pat her bottom dry before you put a diaper on it. :-) Also, if you can let her go with out a diaper, it helps as well.

Are you sure you didn't get something in your gifts like a small round canister called Penaten if you didn't call the pharmacy they deliver this is the best to protect your babies rash from more irritation from her urine, you should consider wipes and use them every time and reapply the cream every time, it should clear up.
An old fashioned home remedy for diaper rash is corn starch but the penaten works better.
