This is something my grandmother taught me and it has worked on all four of my kids.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 3 Table Spoons of Olive oil
  • 2 Table Spoons of Cornstarch
  • Small Bowl
  1. Step 1

    Take the bowl
    and add your olive oil
    and your corn starch

  2. Step 2

    mix until it makes a thick paste.

    Please Make sure that your hands are washed before touching the baby.
    Take a baby wipe and gently wipe around the area.Please make sure to use unscented wipes scented wipes could make it worst.in the affected area.

  3. Step 3

    Apply a small but thick film of the cornstarch paste
    on the affected area either with your index finger or a Q-Tip.

    Make sure that you cover the affected area really well
    use as much as needed.be careful not to over do it you don't want it to clunk .This can be a bit messy but in the end its well worth it
    as a safe and natural way to heal baby rash.

  4. Step 4

    Use as often as needed to each time you change his or her diaper,you should notice something the rash clearing within a day or two.

Tips & Warnings
  • You may also use vegetable oil
  • you may use more corn starch if needed to make a thick enough paste
  • the oil helps keep the rash sealed so that when ever the baby uses its diaper it won't make the rash worse or sore.Cornstarch has been known for years to work as a powder aid to fix scrapes and rashes.
  • I am not a Doctor
  • This is only a temporary fix if this rash hasn't left after 3-7 days then call your babies doctors.
  • Make sure you check the rash often
  • Change the diaper very often
  • Take a unscented baby wipe and clean that area before each diaper change
