Easy Diaper Rash Cream

Since the little miss was born almost 2 months ago, we have spent a lot of that time battling diaper rashes. Her skin seems to be extremely sensitive to pretty much everything. We've used A&D ointment and Butt paste but neither seems to be doing much. We also just started using our homemade diaper liners for our gDiapers and my homemade faux gDiapers. This posed another issue in the tushy department. Butt paste and A&D don't wash off easy from cloth. They can actually ruin the absorbency of some fabrics. This is where my usual "I'll just make something" came into play.

I just used what I had laying around and something I knew would wash well but still help my sweet one fend off the diaper rash.

What you need:

1/4 cup coconut oil
Essential oils- I used 10 drops of lavender
Stove pot
4 oz glass container

What you do:

 Put coconut oil in a small pot

 Heat the coconut oil until it is completely clear on low setting. Be careful not to boil or burn it.

Put 10-15 drops of your EO into your 4oz glass. Make sure you research your EO from a peer reviewed source before using it on your babies skin! Some are bad for little ones and/or can cause irritation. I chose lavender because it is proven to have a calming effect on some people. Im always down for a calm baby, haha.

 Pour your coconut oil into your container & mix.

 Put it in the fridge to cool completely. Its done when it's solid and white.

 Label it :)

 You only need to use a TINY amount. you can keep it refrigerated or just be sure to discard it if it smells funny or you see any irritation on your baby at all. My little girls bum loves it. It also smells lovely! I'll never use store bought cream again! Enjoy!
