Diaper Changing Question from a Newbie

I have never changed a diaper in my life and I am weeks away from our first baby. I have a couple questions. Can I use baby wipes from the start? I read online that you should use a warm washcloth for the first couple months because of sensitvity etc. That sounds crazy. Can't I just use sensitive skin wipes? Second, do I use baby powder and/or desitine type cream with every change? How do I know when to just change it vs. using a cream or powder? Any helpful tips would be great! Thanks in advance for your help, S.

Rash on 6 Month Old's Bottom

Our six month old has a rash on her bottom. We noticed a small couple of spots so started putting on A&D Ointment and change her every couple hours, whether really wet or not...(more frequently if needed...) and everyday the rash has gotten worse. We haven't really changed her diet, but she is fighting a cold and teething. We did (on recommendation of her ped)give her some plain yogurt about 5 days before the rash appeared. Since then, I have only given her cereal, formula and baby food that she is used to. Do you think she could be...

Diaper Rash Remedies

Does anyone have any good diaper rash remedies? I've tried the over the counter creams, letting her be without a diaper, longer bath time. It doesn't seem to be clearing up. It's also not getting too bad, but she's maintaining a rash. With my son I used his eczema cream & it cleared it up immediately. However, now that eczema cream has the warning "may cause cancer"...so we've stopped using it. Also on that note, does anyone have a home remedy for exzema. Thanks

Sore "Down There" - Maybe TMI - Help!

So today I've been so irritated down there if you know what I mean. Just itchy. I don't know why. No weird discharge or anything. But, I did the worst thing you could possibly do. About an hour ago I just went to town and scratched the hell out of myself. DUH. Now, I am in soooo much pain! I took a mirror and looked and of course I am SUPER red and swollen. And I just hurt. What should I do to ease the pain? I know I just need to give myself a little time. I don't think I have an infection.....but I am still really itchy.

"Diaper Rash Cream Is Supposed to Hurt."

"Diaper rash cream is supposed to hurt." Those are the exact words from my dad.. . . Is this true???? I don't believe it, but my dad is adamant about it.

I have tried all the "natural" ways including baking soda bath, let it air out, Vaseline, chamomile tea in bath. I also have tried a little of the Up and Up diaper rash cream which is the one that is hurting my son. The second it touches his skin all...

Sensitive Diaper Area Skin

Hi! I have dealt with diaper rashes with all my kids, but now this is one I haven't had before. My son is 4mos and had a rash all over his buttocks and in his folds, on scrotum, etc for the past 2mos. I've been to the Dr 2x and had tried all the creams, done baking soda soaks, use only water and cloth wipes, dry him well, blah blah blah.... Now the Dr is sending us to a dermatologist to r/o histiocytosis, which we are pretty sure he doesn't have. The Dr thinks he may just be one of those kids with extremely sensitive skin and we...
