No Diaper Zone

In order to combat a persistent diaper rash, we took the challenge of letting Kaitlyn go diaperless for 2 days. Those were a LONG 2 days. We did use a diaper (one size larger than normal) during naps and bedtime. We set up a No Diaper Zone in living room to contain the mess consisting of garbage bags and towels. By the second day, Kaitlyn and I both got bored with the amount of activity you can possible do in such a small area.

Some other tips we tried to get rid of the rash:
1. I browned flour and used it on her butt
2. Nystatin cream (Rx from doctor)
3. Cut out yogurt from diet (though some would say yogurt actually helps a rash...I had a suspicion that it may be contributing to it)
4. Barrier creams like Desitin creamy, Bordeaux butt paste
5. No wipes
6. Hair dryer during diaper changes

I would say that going diaperless was the most effective, since we stayed clear of anything topical during this time. I'm curious to reintroduce the yogurt and see what happens.
