With each successive poop, despite being well cleaned and treated with Desitin, the diaper area became bright red and painful when being cleaned with "sensitive" style wipes. Wet paper towels were then used instead. Please give more details regarding milk compresses such as: Why skim milk? How long should the compress be applied, how often, and in what manner? This little one can be pretty squirmy and has outgrown the changing table, although it's still being used. How about baking soda baths?

How about baking soda baths?

For him it was Clementines that did it. Now that he's 2, we don't have to be as careful. I concur--lots of airtime is good. Just letting the little guy hang out on the changing table al fresca for a few minutes helps the rash. We used to drape a cloth diaper lightly over his you-know-what to avoid getting sprayed and then just play with him and sing to him so his butt got some air.

Hard to do, but worth it if you can. I like Balmex diaper rash cream. Good luck. Leaving the diaper off as much as possible helps as well. Hard to do, but worth it if you can.
