Butt cream is so important when you have babies or little tots running around.
The irritation caused by their diapers - whether cloth, chlorine-free, Pampers, Huggies or whatever - is unavoidable. It just happens by virtue of the fact that they are little human beings who are sitting in their own potty until someone cleans them up. That, plus irritation caused by other things like chafing or foods or baby medicines or... you name it. Which again is why butt cream is so important.
Lately I'm partial to Burt's Bees Baby Bee Diaper Ointment. Grace had a rash that just wouldn't quit and within a day Baby Bee started to clear it up. It's all-natural too. The ole Boudreaux's Butt Paste - a long time favorite while Audrey was a baby - wasn't doing the trick for whatever reason. Forget about Destin or A&D - we ruled those out long ago. Baby powder or Vaseline? Please.
The right butt cream can mean the difference between a happy baby and an irritable one so you've got to be dedicated about it and apply it liberally. There's nothing worse than being the middle of a diaper change when you discover the cream is missing. (Well, discovering you're out of diapers or wipes is probably worse.) Do you leave the baby on the changing table to go look for it? No, of course not. Do you take the baby with you to look for it and risk an accident on the floor, or worse yet, your clothing? Hopefully not but you might have to. Or do you put the diaper on without any cream and hope a rash doesn't begin to develop between then and the next time you change, at which time you hope the butt cream shows up? Maybe, unless it's before bedtime. And if it is you'd better find the butt cream and apply it before the little tyke goes to sleep.
All of this is why it's good to have tubes of it all over the place - changing tables, bathrooms, bedrooms, the car, etc. Butt cream is so important. And your babies will thank you.
