I have tried several brands and products, but so far this is the only cream that actually heals a diaper rash nearly overnight! I rarely have had to put on more than two applications to clear up a rash for either of my boys. I know that a serious rash would take longer, but Dr. Smith's is still my best recommendation!! I have found it only at Walmart...go figure!<BR/><BR/>I haven't been brave enough to try cloth diapers, but with our economy doing so badly, my husband's hours getting cut back, they may be the logical choice with our new baby coming next summer. <BR/><BR/>Right now, the Lord is providing diapers for us through my shopping with coupons at CVS and Walgreens. I normally have three or more packages stocked up at any given time. I'm nearly out right now and need to scour the ads for a good deal!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing all this with us, Cathy. Great resource!!!Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439283955558301409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12323700.post-44345000519786303062008-11-26T22:45:00.000-05:002008-11-26T22:45:00.000-05:00Nyaderm cream for diaper rash.

What a great thing you are doing for t...Hi, Cathy. What a great thing you are doing for this young soon-to-be mom. I have found in my area that if the cloth diaper isn't super easy and leak-proof the mom's give up or don't want to try it. Remember although the initial investment may be high the total savings over the baby's diapering life is staggering! You mentioned wanting to try wool if you had more money. I have posted links on my blog (http://allaboutclothdiapers.com) on how to make wool longies out of recycled sweaters. Also if you are handy with the sewing machine you can make your gerber prefolds absorbent by replacing the polyester padding with flannel, microfiber or really anything other than what's there :P Cut a line at the end where you can pull out the inside. Then replace it with absorbent fabric. You can secure the inner fabric at the top and bottom with a quick stitch. There are many more tips I could add! Let me know if you have any questions. <BR/><BR/>Autumn BeckAutumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18190655485915997494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12323700.post-77089249773363234112008-11-01T18:23:00.000-04:002008-11-01T18:23:00.000-04:00Thank you so much!

I'm going to register for them, as well as the diaper covers (when I find them- no luck yet, they don't sell them with the cloth diapers at our Walmart. I asked the someone and they said they only carry the Gerber foldables because people use them as burp cloths etc.) and a nice trash pail. We have a clothesline, and since the baby will be here in early spring it will be no big deal to hang them up.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443607343435406625noreply@blogger.com
