I have this applicator and it is amazing! Reusable and super soft. Thanks for the tip too! We had a similar problem with my 2 year old when she ate too many blueberries 😬

Lanolin. You can get a couple of cheap options at the drug store or on amazon this is the one I use, or this is really similar. Or Holy Snails has a balm that I've heard is good, but I remain too cheap to order it.

u/binderclips · 13 pointsr/beyondthebump

Get an electric nail filer and if you have difficulty seeing little nails, a head magnifier (I had one for crafting purposes but it works really well for baby nails).

u/hcinimwh · 12 pointsr/beyondthebump

Baby Bum Brush, Original Diaper Rash Cream Applicator, Soft Flexible Silicone, Unique Gift, [Blue] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LYQ53JW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_rSkLDb8YV4Q3T

Makes it quick and easy, no finger painting the bum and bits. Just swoop, swoop, done.

u/AstarteHilzarie · 12 pointsr/BabyBumps

I accidentally hit save, here are some more items you might want to register for:

Corner bumpers more of a concern when baby starts moving, but if you get it out of the way now you don't have to worry about it later. Same goes for plug covers and cabinet locks! Furniture anchors are a must-have, too. I haven't registered for those yet, need to figure out how many we need.


Pack'n'Play portable playpen, changing station, play mat, and bassinet. Even if you don't travel much, I think it will be handy for taking baby around the house while I do chores. They come in all kinds of designs, this one just stood out because of my nursery theme.

A glider or rocking chair, dresser/changing station, and crib. I don't have recommendations for these because I got mine as hand-downs.

Baby monitor I'm going with middle of the line video, because the audio only ones aren't much cheaper, so why not? I'd like to be able to peek in on baby and make sure he's okay without constantly disturbing him by entering the room. These come in all ranges with all kinds of features, so look at a few to figure out what you want.

Bibs. I love these because they have food-catchers. Mess will still happen, but it looks like these will at least lower the amount.

Infant soothie pacifiers

Breastfeeding pillow for sitting up Probably superfluous with the other one, but I like that it straps around your waist, cushions your back, and has pockets for drinks/snack/phone.

Pacifier clips, so you aren't knee deep in pacifiers that keep falling on the floor

Butt paste. I've heard a lot about this from other moms, apparently it's the best diaper cream.

Butt spatula admittedly I felt silly with this one, but the reviews are raving. Butt paste gets everywhere, and it's water resistant so an utter pain to clean - especially under your nails. On top of that, this makes sure you get a nice, even layer for baby's comfort.


Breastfeeding scarf! I think this thing is so neat, especially with a winter baby. You can wear it like an infinity scarf, but it'd big enough that when baby is ready to eat it will cover both of you comfortably! There are a lot of different styles, I picked a black one and a grey one just so they will go with any outfit.

Graco glider soother I picked this because I thought it was neat, then I saw a bumper with post partum advice list it on her must-have rundown.

Diaper bag! I went for the backpack style so DH and I could both comfortably use it, and honestly I don't want to deal with baby in one arm and an over-the-shoulder bag on the other.

First aid and grooming kit

Bottle sterilizer, because screw trying to hand wash them

Bottle warmer, no microwave/boiling water and guess


Bottles!

High chair. I picked this one because it is a 4-in-1, it adjusts from infant all the way up to toddler booster, so I know I'll get my use out of it.

Puj tub - it folds into your sink to be a warm, soft bathing surface for baby, and then when you're done you hang it flat in the shower, bo fuss, no mold!

I also registered at Target and BRU for some variety, some things that I don't have amazon links for:

Travel system.... I absolutely want one that is a carrier, clicks into a car base or a stroller. Getting two bases, one for each car, and the stroller base, would probably still be cheaper than buying two car seats, a carrier, and a stroller, and with these systems you don't have to wake baby up with every transistion.

Various cloth products, swaddlers, burp blankets, bath towels, bibs, etc. These are everywhere so just pick whatever suits you! I'm not registering for any clothes just because I know everyone is going to see "the cutest little onesie" and get it regardless.

Diapers! You can never have enough. I'd get a couple of packs from each size range. Don't open them until you know how big baby is, so you can exchange any that start too small.

Toys galore. Again, people will give you these registered or not, but if you see something that really strikes you, throw it in there! Jumpers and playpads are good to pick out.

Nursery decor - if you haven't gotten it all yet, black-out curtains, crib set, sheets, matress protectors, diaper genie, changing pad, laundry hamper, mobile, etc etc.

Books! Instead of cards, I'm going to ask people to bring inexpensive books with their personal note to baby, that way he can keep their messages as he grows. I put a good amount of books between $3-$6 on my registry for this, so hopefully we won't get a million copies of the same book.

This turned into an epic novel, but I hope it helps you with some starting places! Check out the reviews and similar products on things I linked, hopefully it will lead you to some things you like!

u/charlotte095 · 9 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Three raves this week. Usually with the warmer weather, my dry skin tends to retain its moisture better. Not this spring! Decided to try some new moisturizers and I've been so happy with them. I also ordered a new sunscreen as a celebration for finishing my first year of grad school.

​

Rave: Cosrx Balancium Comfort Ceramide Cream. Love! I've been eyeing this for a while now and I'm so happy with this purchase. The cream is more like a balm but sinks in to my skin and is so calming. There is a fragrance but to be honest, I've really enjoyed it as nearly everything else in my routine is fragrance- free.

​

Rave: Cerave Baby Moisturizing Cream. I've never been a huge fan of Cerave in the tub but I was dedicated to finishing the tub before buying something else. That said, I absolutely love this cream. Its heavier so I only use it at night but its so soothing and moisturizing. It also is overall a more elegant moisturizer than cerave in the tub. Will definitely repurchase.

​

Rave: Supergoop Skin Soothing Mineral Sunscreen. I've heard some iffy reviews about supergoop but this sounded too good to be true: soothing, mineral-based, no white cast, etc. I've been so impressed with this sunscreen- goes on great with no greasy residue which is a huge plus for a mineral sunscreen. It's also very cosmetically elegant and sits well under my makeup. I wouldn't use this for a full day in the sun but its great for an every day sunscreen.

u/andyrh1 · 8 pointsr/AskALiberal

It seems you might need this

u/thaen · 8 pointsr/NewParents

Don't worry. He'll survive. I know he's your whole world right now and perspective is impossible, but he will be OK. He'll be uncomfortable but in two weeks you'll be worrying about something different.

If you already have a prescription cream, this might not help, but it helped us:

Are you cloth diapering?

u/happychallahday · 8 pointsr/BabyBumps

I did just spend almost $250, but snagged a ton of "really want to have this, but not at this price" items using camelcamelcamel.com and the honey chrome extension, with Target, Buy Buy Baby, and Kohls opened to cross reference the prices.

A couple notable purchases:

The Kiinde system is having some serious sales on Amazon, depending on what you want, these starter packs are more than half off.

For those of you who are (like me) terrified of finger nail cutting, this is more than half off: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B2C8DJD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is apparently awesome for catching milk in the shower or when breastfeeding with the other side: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NY6P97R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

A friend of mine swears by this nursing gown for the hospital and when recovering (especially if you have a c-section). A couple sizes and colors are on serious sale: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0723GBFK7/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The tiny love gyms are on okay sale (but still better than the 15% off we get with the completion discount. It was around 18% of the "best price" on camelx3)

Lastly, these wireless/noise cancelling headphones will apparently be life savers, and the black ones are about half off: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MTZ8129/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/BurlRed · 7 pointsr/predaddit

You don't need a wipe warmer.

You don't need pee-pee-tee-pees.

You don't need baby shoes. Shoes are for people who walk.

You don't need 12 bottles. I recommend between 2 and 4 bottles. If you have more bottles you'll just end up having to wash more bottles. We do very little formula though so if you're going right for formula then I don't know.

​

PJs with zippers. Snaps are fine but take forever when he's crying.

Diaper Cream paddle. It seems silly and people who don't have them give us shit for using one of these but seriously. The cream goes on fast and even and you don't have goop on your finger that you have to wipe off before doing up the onesie. We're near the end of a tub of cream and I can barley get my finger down there but the paddle reaches easily.

A bath with a hammock. This one has been great. We used it next to the sink when he was a newborn. He laid in the water supported by the sling. Once he was a little bigger but not quite sitting up it adjusts to give a more upright position. Then you just get rid of the sling when he can sit up.

Nose Frida. Bulb aspirators don't work very well and are hard to clean and you're supposed to replace them incredibly frequently. The Nose Frida works better and is less disposable. He'll still hate it though.

Nail Grinder. You'll need clippers too but this nail grinder is great. If you use it regularly you can skip the clippers almost entirely. That's nice because clipping baby nails is terrifying. This has the added benefit of rounding the edges which makes those razors attached to the end of your baby's fingers a little less sharp.

​

I'm sure there's more for both lists. I'll edit if I think of them. You could also share your current registry and get comments based on that. I don't think that violates forum rules, but I haven't checked.

u/0112358_ · 7 pointsr/beyondthebump

Consider baby nail file instead of clippers. Much easier, no chance of clipping baby
https://www.amazon.com/Electric-Trimmer-Manicure-Newborn-Adults/dp/B07QDY6KDM?ref_=ast_bbp_dp&th=1&psc=1

I'm not sure what the car seat pillow is but bear in mind that you're not supposed to add anything to car seats unless it's directly provided from the manufacturer. Inserts and extras are not safety-tested and compromised the ability to protect the baby in an accident.

If your in the US an electric pump is generally covered by your insurance for free

u/ruby_saffron · 6 pointsr/OctoberBumpers2017

This is on my list even though a rectal thermometer is more accurate, getting a ballpark temp without diaper diving every time will be nice:

Kinsa Sesame Street Elmo Smart Ear Thermometer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H5QL8L6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_GP.Kzb4VQN9D2

Go ahead and buy stock in this stuff:

Boudreaux's Butt Paste Diaper Rash Ointment - Maximum Strength - Contains 40% Zinc Oxide - Pediatrican Recommended - Paraben and Preservative-Free - 4 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00569GU18/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.Q.KzbG1R3BVA

I really want one of these to live in postpartum:

Kindred Bravely The Angelina Ultra Soft Maternity & Nursing Nightgown Dress (Cabernet, XL) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GDCG1DS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lS.KzbX4XQ9V7

Tiny infant leather moccasins! Not because they're walking, but because they'll need more foot insulation than just socks in the winter months.

u/starshine8316 · 5 pointsr/beyondthebump

Sure thing! I forgot to mention that I used the maximum red package of Boudreaux butt paste

https://www.amazon.com/Boudreauxs-Butt-Paste-Ointment-Preservative/dp/B00569GU18?ref_=bl_dp_s_mw_15791483011

For some reason this worked better for my babies. I tried the green natural one too and that also worked.

u/Dr8ton · 5 pointsr/TalesFromYourServer

This is the secret to life.

I used this as a kid. I used this in the Army. My buddies in the Army loved it. I now use it on my kids diaper rash. I still use it on hot summer days.

Use powder to stay dry.
When you get home, dry you junk. I usually stand over a box fan.

Apply this stuff to the affected area.

The baby bum brush

This thing is the weirdest looking thing, but I have 3. One on the changing table in his room, one in our living room for downstairs diaper changes and one in the diaper bag. Diaper cream is absolutely gross and I hate getting under my nails and on my hands because it doesn't wash away easily. I wipe it down with a baby wipe after each use and at the end of the night I wash it in the sink. While it isn't a something important item, I swear by it!

u/shineeslash · 5 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Please keep in mind that my face was a tiny bit angry in the pictures from last night as I had just finished OCM. The morning pictures are from right after I woke up, before doing any of my morning routine. :)

My skin type: Pretty dry, acne-prone (obviously), prone to redness. I also have dermatillomania (compulsive skin picking) which creates a lot of scabs/scars.

u/baileyfaze · 5 pointsr/beyondthebump

YAYS:

Chux pads, hands down, were the best purchase we made. Those saved us so much laundry and so many diapers. The link is hit or miss - one box we got was great and quilted, the second box was not quilted and they fall apart more easily. Which really sucks because we're not going through several a day anymore, so it has time to really fall apart before it gets soiled. Even the shitty ones are incredibly helpful.

A Haakaa breast milk catcher. Best money I've ever spent. I stopped using it every day at 11 months PP. 11 months of daily use.

An electronic nail file. I cut too close once, and decided I don't ever want to do that again. It's quiet, it has a little light on it, two speeds, and a bunch of different nail heads.

Stacking cups. Don't know why we even have other toys. Did you know you can throw them and chase after them and then throw them again, mom? You can put them inside each other! You can put them in the toy basket and then take them out and then put them back in again! You can knock them down when mom & dad foolishly stack them up! You can clack them together! You can bang them against EVERYTHING!!

This inflatable tub. It has a little shoehorn for the crotch so you can use it before baby can totally sit up by themselves. We're still using it because my child is dead set on committing suicide in the bathtub.

Sleeved bibs. Or as we like to call them, eatin' ponchos. We got some "art smock" cheaper ones to alternate with, but the Bumkins one is 👌👌👌 so much better. The art smocks are fabric-y on the body, so they stain.

A ring sling. No link because I actually borrowed from my local babywearing community. But I checked out a ring sling back to back to back. My chonker outgrew the Moby wrap I had (which was super hot and a PITA to get on and off) by 3 months when I finally discovered ring slings. Ring slings are like the cool, breezy older sister.

A yoga ball. We spent hours bouncing our child.

NAYS:

This Graco Swing. Well, any swing, but this is the one we had. Of the several swings at daycare, my baby tolerated one kind...for a few minutes. Obviously this is a my baby thing.

A walker. We got one used from a garage sale before we realized they're not really recommended for babies anymore.

Any chew-toy specific type teether.

u/CaptnAiryca · 4 pointsr/beyondthebump

CeraVe baby cream is the best! Our whole family uses it for dry skin, excema, etc. It's unscented and has ceramides which is important for the moisture barrier in your skin. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WH31P7A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_I11IAbJ7QAV8Y

u/resting_parrot · 4 pointsr/tifu

I know a lot of parents swear by butt paste, but I didn't find it to be better than any of the other, cheaper creams. My kid's doctor recommended the purple Desitin cream. That stuff was amazing. According to the doctor the zinc oxide is the miracle ingredient. I believe him because this worked way better than any of the other creams I used when my kid was in diapers.

u/curlywurlies · 4 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Lanolin! I use 100% pure lanolin (meant for breastfeeding mothers) on my lips at night and it is awesome! I use this

u/etrnloptimist · 4 pointsr/Parenting

Triple Paste. That stuff is crazy good. We've had nothing but excellent results with it, when other diaper creams did nothing.

u/krone6 · 4 pointsr/ABDL

This on every change. It works with my cloths and that puts me skin through a war zone, but with this I can stay in the most acidic of environments with ease for 12 hours in cloths (~8 sleeping then few more awake).

u/aloveablebunny · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Keratosis Pilaris

I have it on my arms, a little on my legs, and some on my butt.

There's not a cure for this. You just have to treat the dry skin and work to lessen the inflammation/redness of the bumps.

I was using Amlactin lotion, but it did not make a big difference.

I've started using Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy a few days ago, on recommendation from another redditor on this thread and it has visibly reduced the redness of the bumps for me.

Exfoliate while bathing, and use a really good moisturizer. Basically dry skin = makes it much much worse.

u/ttc_in_nyc · 3 pointsr/pregnant

This is the one I got, it looks like there are a few different versions, but they all do the same thing and it's specifically made for putting diaper cream on baby butts. No idea if that makes the material special, but here's hoping it works well enough!

u/Starkmoon · 3 pointsr/JUSTNOMIL

My go to is Metanium .

My kids are 16 now and I still have a tube for sweat rashes and visiting friends babies. I also apparently started a small cluster of purchases in Berlin because my friend showed her Midwife the tube I gave her as a new baby gift.

Thanks for the lipcare tip! This one?

u/slmller3 · 3 pointsr/JulyBumpers2017

I worked at a daycare and saw lots of diaper rash. Have you started cleaning him with warm wet paper towels instead of wipes? Then giving his bum a little time to air dry, using another diaper to fan his butt? The alcohol in wipes sucks for baby bottoms. Also, cornstarch beats baby powder if you need something to keep moisture out. :)

Also, TRIPLE PASTE is the bomb dot com.... only this kind: https://www.amazon.com/Triple-Paste-Medicated-Ointment-16-Ounce/dp/B000GCL2B8/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1499366108&sr=8-3&keywords=triple+paste

No other diaper rash cream works like Triple Paste. It's expensive but you can get it at major drugstores and Target and Walmart I believe. It will stick to the bottom and not the diaper! :D Good luck!

u/witch_life · 3 pointsr/BabyBumps

Burt's Bees Baby 100% Natural Multipurpose Ointment This stuff rules. I use it as an all over moisturizer, it fixes the weird chapped skin babies get, and works fantastic as a diaper cream (also compatible with cloth diapers!). It's a big old tub. We use it every day for almost three months and I'm less than a quarter way through the tub. Smells great, too.

At some point your kid is going to get gas and they won't understand what is happening to their butt and they will flip the fuck out. Keep gas drops handy! The Little Remedies Tummy Relief Drops work well.

u/HisNameIsRio · 3 pointsr/BabyBumpsCanada

I've used this from the get-go
Burt's Bees Baby Bee 100% Natural Multipurpose Ointment, 7.5 Ounces https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B006YTX0HQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_EJlUBbE2SCX4T
(shoppers has it too)



And more heavy duty zinc stuff when she's really red with a liner (we used. Viva paper towels as liners)

u/aka_____ · 3 pointsr/BabyBumps

We use Earth Mama Diaper Balm after every change, and Boudreaux's Natural Butt Paste at the first sign of redness. So basically the same as your idea. I really don't like the Honest all purpose balm though, just a heads up. I don't think it smells great to begin with but once LO has peed, it smells much worse. Never tried California Baby though.

We've never had a full blown rash with this method except one time after my MIL overfed her pineapple at 10 months old 😡 and then tried to play it off like "she must be teething". Uh, no. It was the overdose of acidic fruit, but thanks.

u/Bah15362 · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

I'm grabbing onto the "since i moved to uni" and thinking:

  1. Change in water quality from home
  2. shared washer/dryer not too clean (other pet dander/detergents/other)
  3. Stress (because that always seems to be a possible cause.)
  4. Change in climate (less humidity)

    OR...

    I have itchy patches on my hands when it gets drier out. I started with aloe but it didn't work at all. I had to use something with oat/dimethicone in it and applied it every time i wanted to itch. I carried it with me. It was the only thing that gave me relief.
u/crack_a_toe_ah · 3 pointsr/FormulaFeeders

Sometimes babies don't do well with a particular regular formula, but do fine with another regular formula. We tried a few different ones before asking a friend who had four babies for help. She confidently told us GoodStart would work. I had avoided it until then because I hate Nestle and their formula but she was right; he tolerated it really well and his eczema improved. We also used a lot of Aveeno baby eczema lotion.

u/BellaLou324 · 3 pointsr/clothdiaps

Unfortunately I have no laundry advice, as free and clear always works for us, however, I would like to recommend the Grovia Magic Stick for the rash. This is my secret weapon that I give all new moms, whether or not they cloth diaper. It's safe for cloth diapers, and whenever my guy has any redness at all, it goes away after one application of this. We actually just put it on every night and morning and he has rarely had a rash. Plus it lasts FOREVER. We bought one over a year ago and are still using the same one.

It might not be what you were asking, but it may help with the redness!

u/KeepHerRefrigerated · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Ah found it. This one. Thank you!

u/littlemama711 · 2 pointsr/beyondthebump

I have an electric file. I can do his nails when he’s sleeping and it’s very safe. It doesn’t bother him. It’s made such a difference. best nail trimmer

u/Snarkonum_revelio · 2 pointsr/beyondthebump

Lololol, I can totally see how you'd think that, considering the actual name of the thing is a diaper cream brush. We literally don't go anywhere without one - I think we own 5 of them now. They come in travel size too!

u/teenlinethisisnitro · 2 pointsr/beyondthebump

We love Penaten. My Canadian MIL swears by it. It also helps to use Water Wipes.

u/mmmmm_pancakes · 2 pointsr/NewParents

Here's the butt product we use, in case it helps.

Combined with any good-quality wipes, this seems to result in a rash-free butt even with dirty diapers for extended periods. A rash does appear if we switch to crappier wipes or cream, though.

Also, my wife wants me to mention that her estimate of diapers is closer to 10/day, for the record. :)

u/VALiving2018 · 2 pointsr/LifeProTips

Have a couple of friends with kids. I always get a butt spatula for applying diaper cream (https://www.amazon.com/BabyBum-Diaper-Cream-Brush-Blue/dp/B00LYQ53JW) and Boudreaux's Natural Butt Paste.

Have been told they make life so much easier!

u/GrowingASeahorse · 2 pointsr/beyondthebump

This was a godsend for us when Fiona was little and had cradle cap all over. I'd rub it in all good and comb out all the flakes. I did it every few days for a few weeks and it cleared up. We still use the ointment for stuff all the time (diaper rash, dry skin patches, etc) a year later. :)

u/GustoB · 2 pointsr/NewParents

Diapers and wipes are always good -- newborn or preemie size probably. That said, some diapers just don't fit great on some kids, and some kids will have more sensitivity to certain wipes, so it's hard to say exactly which type/brand to get. "Water wipes" (https://www.amazon.com/WaterWipes-Sensitive-Wipes-Count-Packs/dp/B008KJEYLO) are a really good sensitive wipe. I wouldn't necessarily send her too many/any bigger diapers yet. They'll just take up room and might be a brand that doesn't work great. A box or two of the next size up is enough for now.

A good diaper cream will probably also be needed. I'd recommend something somewhat "natural" like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000P16ZXK/, again to help reduce sensitivity hopefully. I would avoid petroleum jelly based ones.

Some type of burp cloths. However diaper cloths (I can't remember if that's what they are called) work great. I can't speak for this brand but something like this.. https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Birdseye-3-Ply-Prefold-Diapers/dp/B007VBYVWE. They are usually like a light linen/muslin, and usually fairly large square, and plain. They're easy to clean and big enough to fold over if part gets dirty, etc, and multi-use.


I would also avoid too many clothes. Some onesies with zippers is probably all that's really needed. Maybe also a nice soft hat as well, and some muslin swaddle wraps. Additionally, a warm, soft blanket or something to cover them when they go out. They're not supposed to wear anything bulky between the child and the carseat harness (ofc, they'll need a carseat if they don't already have one -- most hospitals won't release babies without one though, especially from the nicu).

Pacifiers are good too. Kids will probably find a certain kind they prefer, but I think this is basically what hospitals almost always use https://www.amazon.com/Philips-SCF190-01-Soothie-0-3mth/dp/B0045I6IAO.



They may also be recommended a vitamin like poly-vi-sol, or possibly other things, but this is hard to buy without being able to talk to her to find out exactly what is prescribed.

Similarly, bottles, nipples, and/or breastfeeding equipment, but this is hard to buy without knowing what she and the kid prefer. However, hand sanitizer for after diaper changes, and a nice bottle brush (https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Browns-Bottle-Brush-Blue/dp/B000N0SNHY/ or https://www.amazon.com/Sponge-Bottle-Brush-Pack-Blue/dp/B07DQQFP63/) are great to have.

Some type of food/meal delivery would be awesome. Possibly even a local housecleaning or laundry service too, depending on how independent she is.

And ultimately, money can help, as well as your phone number or contact info and an openness for contact and support.

There might be more that I can't think of. At this stage it's probably as important to get things to help her directly as for the baby. She may also have some medical needs depending on how the delivery went, and all that. Feel free to pm me too with any more questions etc.

u/MINOLATX · 2 pointsr/pregnant

This list is awesome! I was not nearly that organized for my registry! Just a few comments from the other side (my baby is 3 months currently).


Baby nails are sharp and scary, some friends bought us this Electric Nail File and it is absolutely amazing, not painful for baby at all and much more efficient than the little files.

This butt spatula thing has been great for when we apply diaper cream! Saves us from getting it on our hands.

For me personally, I found the Boppy rather ineffective for nursing at first while we were trying to figure out nursing. Baby would kind of slide down between the Boppy and my stomach. Now at 3 months old, the Boppy is super useful for propping baby and sometimes as a nursing pillow if I decide to use one. My first few weeks of nursing I'd use the Brest Friend Nursing Pillow it was great when Baby really needed a little extra support for getting into the best position for nursing.

Breastfeeding was very painful for me the first few weeks. Our LO ended up having a bad latch due to tongue and lip ties we had to get lasered (anterior tongue tie had been clipped by Pediatrician in the hospital, she still had a posterior tie that was diagnosed later by a lactation consultant - just something to keep in mind), by the time we had the procedure done the damage was done to my nipples. These nipple shields are one of the things that really helped my nipples heal in between feedings to keep my bra/clothes off of them. I hope you don't have to use them, but something you may want to make a note of in case you have a similar experience. If you do end up having nipple pain, ask your OB (or Google how to make it yourself) for a script for "Newman's Nipple Cream", that stuff helped save our breastfeeding relationship!


Good luck, looks like you're off to a great start!

The burning can just be due to the diarrhea and going all the time. Diaper lotion or something else with zinc oxide can help.

Looking again, I'm not sure why you were given antibiotics for a cold. Antibiotics don't do anything to a cold virus, since it's a virus and not a bacteria. Unless you didn't have a cold and it was something else.

In any case, eating simple non-seasoned foods like rice/chicken/lean meat and food without high insoluable fiber (vegitables) can help not irritate any inflimation you may or may not have going on. Immodium can help eliminate any urgency to go (use wisely and talk to your doctor). Butt cream can help keep your buthole from burning off. As far as crohn's starter packs go, that about covers it unless you want to add whatever medication your doctor perscribes, a bidet, and a heating pad.

Little bit of a late response, but have you tried the Aveeno Baby Eczema Cream? I only have a small patch of reoccurring eczema on my stomach, but this is what I use and it works really well for me. I also use it on my cousin when I'm babysitting and I think it works better than his steroid cream to be honest, he stops crying right after I put it on.

u/Purple-Leopard · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

There was an Aveeno eczema moisturizer I fell in love with. I think it was this one if I'm remembering right. I might need to repurchase it, I keep forgetting about it. It worked really well for my KP which is originally why I bought it

Laugh all you want at the name, but the best thing ever made..in my humble opinion is Boudreaux's Butt Paste

u/ElizabethLTCD · 2 pointsr/clothdiaps

Check with your pediatrician for yeast cream--Nystatin worked wonders for my daughter. Also, I use Butt Paste (you can buy it online--get the maximum strength!) if there are no sores and the bum area is just red. It seems to work better than desitin and aquaphor for us. We use prefolds, so I don't really care if a cream is technically "cloth safe" because I just strip my prefolds every 4-6 months if needed. It's more important that my daughter is comfortable.

Also, since you're using prefolds, try adding 1/4 cup of bleach to your wash routine to help kill whatever bacteria is helping cause the rash. I'd do the bleach every wash while she has a nasty rash and stop once the rash clears up. See if it helps clear it up faster. If you need stripping instructions, Learn to Cloth Diaper has instructions with pictures! Hope it helps!

If your skin hasn't responded to antibiotics, it's possible you're dealing with Malassezia Folliculitis (fungal "acne"). This guide https://simpleskincarescience.com/pityrosporum-folliculitis-treatment-malassezia-cure/ helped me clear my skin in about two months after spending five years dealing with pimples that wouldn't respond to typical acne treatments.

Of course, YMMV, but my current routine is nothing in the AM, PM shower using Head and Shoulders on hair/body (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MXLFQGB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1), Pantene on hair (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MTNOJ2Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1), and sulfur soap on my face (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CST4AS4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Right after shower, I slap on some aloe vera gel (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IRAFRQW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) followed by MSM gel (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O379PC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and then Cerave Baby Cream (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WH31P7A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1). Twice a week I put Nizoral (https://www.amazon.com/Nizoral-Anti-Dandruff-Shampoo-Ketoconazole-Dandruff/dp/B00AINMFAC/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=nizoral&qid=1566134798&s=gateway&sr=8-3) on my face and let it sit for 3-5 minutes and then wash it off. I've run this full routine by a licensed dermatologist who told me the sulfur and Nizoral would do the heavy lifting to keep the Malassezia at bay, and as far as I can tell those two items are the keystones of this routine. Everything else I use because the sulfur and Nizoral can be very drying. All of those products I pulled from that skincare blog, so I would read through it and see if the skin condition addressed there matches what you're experiencing.

Good luck. This is the routine that made my skin do a complete 180 in February after I saw no improvement from derm prescribed antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide.

u/SpringCleanMyLife · 1 pointr/Bulldogs

Just making sure you're aware you should be cleaning it every day for her entire life (assuming you don't need to amputate).

What are you cleaning with? Are you sure you're getting all the way in there? There can be some crazy nooks and crannies that are hard to reach; you need to really dig into some of them.

What's worked well for both my bullies with innie corkscrew tails is a thorough daily cleaning with a sensitive skin baby wipe, plus a once weekly or so application of Desitin (diaper rash cream) or Penaten creme. I want to stress that this something you must keep up with, it is just part of the daily routine for your bully.

I smashed my face last year when I fell down a mountain. Thanks to the following, my face is back to the exact same with the exception of a teeny scar. Mederma, a tad expensive due to SPF but worth it cuz it was my goddamn face, triple antibiotic ointment linked here but cheaper when purchased as a generic, and Cocoa butter with vitamin E, also available in Walmart/Target places for half the price as listed here. Basically what you're looking for is lotions with vitamin E. I've had luck looking in the "ethnic" hair/lotion/body products section, and there's a whole variety of oils and lotions and rubs. Personally, my favorite is this one and it's usually $2 in store. Bio Oil can be a bit expensive, but a great and comparable product is Africa's Best Moroccan oil, or generic Baby Oil. Again, most of these products are available at Walmart/Target for a fraction of the price. They're all fairly pricey online because of the weight/shipping prices, despite it being shipped via Prime.

I should answer the question myself, so here it is, as detailed as I can.

I shave once a week because I believe my skin would not recover otherwise, but lately I've been wondering if it might not be actually hurting and if I would not benefit from not letting the hair grow too long.

As for my protocol, there was a post a while ago on Reddit where a stripper explained how she shaved down there. I took her method, and adapted it, plus my own little things :

  1. I shave under the shower. I find the steam helps.
  2. Wash and exfoliate face with water as hot as I can. I use Neutrogena Men Razor Defense Face Scrub
  3. Apply baby oil to face. I use Johnson's Baby Oil, Aloe Vera and Vitamin E
  4. Shave using a single pass in the direction of hair growth. I use Gillette Fusion Proglide Power Men's Razor and Aveeno® Skin Relief Shave Gel. The single pass doesn't get me a clean shave, but I can live with it.
  5. Wash with cold water
  6. Apply Dove Men+Care Hydrate + Post Shave Balm

    Finally, I try to apply Nivea Soft Refreshingly Moisturizing Creme every day.

    Even with all this, I usually look like this on the first 24h after shaving.
u/milky_donut · 1 pointr/femalefashionadvice

Have you been to a Dr. or a Derm yet? They may be able to prescribe you something and give you more ideas to help soothe the itch.

The longest mine has ever lasted was a week and I did the above methods along with hydrocortisone. I had luck a few weeks ago with Aveeno Baby Eczema lotion too.

I've heard Caladryl or Calamine lotion may also help, at least from what I've read while trying to search for quick remedies.

u/SonicEuthanasia · 1 pointr/predaddit

I thought of another couple of smallish things that are really parent quality of life things:

  • Stock up on some hand sanitizer bottles and strategically place them around the house. We have one right by the front door so that guests get the idea to wash their hands immediately. I also have one on the changing table and hit it before I handle the diapers.

  • Make sure all the hand soap in your house is moisturizing soap, because you're going to be washing your hands a lot. My wife had some Bath and Body Works scented soaps in the bathrooms that absolutely destroyed my hands after a few days.

  • Grab some Bag Balm while you're at it. This helps with a lot of things for both parents and babies. We were told to put a little bit on their circumcision sites and such to help keep it hydrated. It's also what I used to repair the skin on my hands from the hand soap.

  • We have a little diaper cream brush and some Aquafor near the changing table to spread on their little butts after changing. This helps the merconium and poo avoid sticking to their skin, which makes it less painful to change diapers and easier to clean up.
u/avathedot · 1 pointr/Nanny

I love these too! I use the little finger glove (finger cots) to put stuff on but I’ve been seeing those spatula looking things. Have you tried those?

Baby Bum Brush

Laugh all you want, but it has revolutionized the diaper game.

u/ExoticCommunication · 1 pointr/UpliftingNews

Ah, if you stay home you may not need to, but if the insurance company provides you a pump for free, why not? Plus, if you need to take a trip without the kiddo (it happens!) or you get a plugged duct while baby is sleeping (it happens!) you may want the pump to help out.

We did a bassinet for the first, err... 3 months, 4 months? Eventually though they'll get too big for even a bigger bassinet. I think ours outgrew hers at around 6 months. The pack and plays are okay, but oh boy are they low to the floor (being... on the floor and all...) Maybe look at the convertible bed-crib things? 2 things in one go!

And yeah, wait for Target baby stuff sales. Worst case is you get a gift card that you then spend on diapers.

Oh a few items you didn't know you wanted (but you probably want!)

  1. Butt paste wand. Trust me. Get this. https://www.amazon.com/BabyBum-Diaper-Cream-Brush-Blue/dp/B00LYQ53JW/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1538604479&sr=8-1&keywords=baby+butt+wand. Diaper cream is a great thing, but it gets stuck EVERYWHERE.
  2. Baby changing caddy. https://www.amazon.com/gp/slredirect/picassoRedirect.html/ref=pa_sp_atf_aps_sr_pg1_1?ie=UTF8&adId=A04588481Q6AWCSY7ABYX&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FDexbaby-Changing-Station-Toddler-Organizer%2Fdp%2FB00512VMVI%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1_sspa%3Fie%3DUTF8%26qid%3D1538604532%26sr%3D8-1-spons%26keywords%3Dchanging%2Bstation%2Bcaddy%26psc%3D1&qualifier=1538604532&id=4049971636655450&widgetName=sp_atf. Can you live without it? Yes. But is it nice when you're changing a kiddo at 2am and need everything in one place? Yep.
  3. Nose Frida. Seems gross, but oh man is it more effective than the bulbs in a lot of cases. https://www.amazon.com/Nasal-Aspirator-NoseFrida-Snotsucker-Fridababy/dp/B00171WXII/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1538604617&sr=8-4&keywords=nose+frida. When the baby gets its first cold, you'll need at least this, a bulb, maybe a Dyson with an attachment, an industrial vacuum tube... Maybe my kid was just a snot factory...

    That's about it. Maybe 1000 swaddles...
u/babytwingirls · 1 pointr/beyondthebump

Your little one sounds a lot like what we are going through with one of our twins. She has very bad gas problems and I was at the breaking point where I would try anything to soothe her. After talking to my pediatrican (who is very old school), this is what we are doing below for her gas and both babies reflux (and projectile vomiting). I won't say it solved her gas completely, but it did help her sleep if you want to try it.

u/mycoldfeet · 1 pointr/clothdiaps

We used coconut oil (applied with the BabyBum Brush for every change at that stage. It washes out of cloth no problem. Using cloth wipes helps with irritation (we use a diluted solution of Dr. Bronner's, coconut oil, and aloe gel).

For disposable wipes, now we use Amazon wipes. Checked Environmental Work Group's site for each of the ingredients, no high scores there and no irritation on our kiddo.

Edit: When he started teething/ eating solids and diaper rash got REAL, we started using Babyganics Non-Petroleum Soothing Protective Ointment. We get it with coupons @ Target, Babies R Us, or BuyBuyBaby. It runs about $10/jar.

u/snapshotsally · 1 pointr/January2018Bumpers

Here are mine:

  • Secure Beginnings Crib Mattress - a totally breathable crib mattress. You can take the "sleep surface" off and throw it in the washing machine when needed. I surprisingly don't do it that often. The mesh fabric and space under it helps in temperature regulation and air exchange. Basically, helped me as a new mom not worry about suffocation. I ended up going wild and getting two sleep surfaces per mattress. I got one set in the regular size and a mini crib for our room.
  • LED Touch Light - these suckers are rechargeable and hold their charge a long time. They're super portable. What I like best is that you can turn them suuuuper dim, which is great for middle of the night wake ups and diaper changes. We have one hanging from our headboard and one hanging above the changing table. And then another around the house. There are tons of sellers of this type of product and they're quite inexpensive.
  • Wet Bag - a reusable and washable bag to stash wet/dirty stuff. An essential for cloth diaperers, but also great for pooped on clothes, bathing suits, etc.
  • Fischer-Price Ultra-Lite Day and Night Play Yard - this is a smaller and less expensive version of a traditional pack and play. We kept it in the living room and baby spent a lot of time there as a newborn.
  • Gripe Water Lots of gripe water. Good for gas, sometimes hiccups, and gentle relief for stomach upset. Also helps some newborns poop.
  • Grovia Magic Stick Diaper Balm - made for cloth diapers, but would work for sposies. A barrier "cream" on a stick, so you don't have to get your fingers gross. Smells amazing - I literally sniff the stick every time we use it.
  • Freemies - great for hands-free pumping, especially in the car or at work. Fits inside the shirt. Can be hit or miss on if it works for individuals, but it works GREAT for my boobs. Regular flanges hurt me and didn't yield good output, but Freemies agreed with my body wonderfully.
  • Spectra Pump I have nothing but good things to say about the Spectra pump. I have the S1 (battery operated), S2 (plugs in), and the S9 (battery operated, but not as fancy as S1). I haven't had any issues with my pumps, but others have had great customer service experiences. It's a "closed" system, which means it's impossible for milk to get into the pump on accident. This is a good thing.
  • Kiinde Storage Bags - these breastmilk storage bags are more expensive, but highly durable. I love the twist top - much easier to use then a zipper top. We used the whole bottle system from 0-6 months. At six months, he realized he could take the nipple off the bottle and we switched to Como Tomo bottles. But for those months, it was SO NICE to just send the bags to daycare and wash only the nipples (the shells stayed at daycare).
  • Lillebaby Complete Airflow Baby Carrier - while baby carrier preferences will vary widely by body type and personal preferences, I love my Lillebaby most. It doesn't require any special insert for newborns and the lumbar support was awesome. The airflow version was great, as I live in a very hot state.
  • Lectrofan Sound Machine - you may be wondering why this is $45 and other sound machines are $20. Because it is amazing, that is why. Seriously 100% amazing.

    Hope this helps somebody!

    Edit: added a few more after the Spectra.

It's the Baby Bum Diaper Cream Brush formally... I call it the butt spatula because that's what it looks like. It's totally a luxury item at the price, but I love mine hard. I don't get diaper cream under my nails (yuck), and I find the cream goes on thicker and more evenly with said spatula. And it gets into those chubby crotch rolls my kiddo has.

I swear I'm not a schill, I just love this silly little bit of plastic. The theory is that the suction cup keeps it attached... I find that it sort of works. I just clean it off with a wipe at the end of a change and we're good to go.

Hmmm, it does look pretty irritated. Given what you've said precluded its appearance and the way it looks, my gut would be that it's a damaged barrier. I'm surprised your simple but good routine hasn't fixed it. You might need more hydration if your skin is having trouble holding onto water - it looks a little dry. Maybe a very gentle toner would help? You could also try an oat based product, e.g. Aveeno Eczema cream (baby line is fine too).

Otherwise, I think you should see a derm or a doctor - they might be able to prescribe something like a steroid that might be more effective or at least know how to treat it better than folks will here. It does seem fairly serious given how long you've had it and your routine.

u/Teknofobe · 1 pointr/AskReddit
  • Ferberizing works - It's really rough at first, but once it kicks in you will be so glad you did it.
  • Get a dishwasher basket if you have a dishwasher. Walmart has them. You can wash binkies in that thing too.
  • Always have desitin and aquaphor on hand. Aquaphor works great on minor rashes, desitin for the more serious. I really recommend having a set for home and a set that stays in the diaper bag.
  • You are going to wake up at 3 AM and have to get out of bed to feed your child. It is frustrating and it is awful, but it is a fact of parenting. I would work out an arrangement with your SO to take turns for maximum sleep time. If you are breast feeding, make him get up and bring the baby to you. Share in the pain and neither of you will feel like they are doing all the work.
  • Whatever your stance on breastfeeding, hear out the lactation consultant that will be offered free to you by your hospital
  • Look in your area for first time parent classes. They give you some AMAZING information and the classes are usually really cheap - and a great boding experience for a couple.
  • If you are not a patient person, you will need to learn patience. Kids test the limitations of our patience, and when you are sleep deprived, it is so easy to get overwhelmed or angry.
  • Talk to your SO and manage their expectations on house chores. They are going to have to step it up. You should be sleeping when the baby is sleeping, instead of up and making sure your place is spotless. It's not a vacation. Taking care of an infant is work.
  • Let your SO have time alone with the baby. They need to bond one on one, and you are going to need to get out of that house once in a while. Also, do not feel bad about leaving your baby with your SO or the grandparents. This separation was very difficult for my ex. The baby will be fine.
  • Don't let pride get in the way of accepting help. If a relative offers to cook or clean, let them. Any little bit of help will make your life that much easier, and you need that in an environment where stress is going to be high and sleep is going to be low.

    EDIT: Thought of one more.

    If you have a Costco or Sams Club, get a membership. Buy your diapers and wipes in bulk. You'll easily pay for your membership in savings.

I thought this may help my fellow new parenters out there. If you're anything like me, you scoured the internet checking off every "must-have" baby items list before your LO was born, but I still ended up having Amazon deliver things about every other day for the first couple months.

As a disclaimer, I'm not saying these are MUST HAVE items. I just went through my Amazon purchases and I'm writing down some things that I purchased in those 3 AM wee hour Amazon shopping sprees.

Here's a compilation of everything that I felt I missed in my preparation for my baby girl:

  • An electric nail file. I was terrified to cut her nails myself. This is a safe and easy alternative.
  • A Swaddle UP. This allows her hands to be by her face, which she preferred her first month or two.
  • Friedababy MediFrida. My baby had a rough go of reflux and was diagnosed with Ranitidine pretty quickly. This helped us give her doses with no fuss!

  • Comfy shorts for me. I was unprepared for my post C-Section body and clothing options.

  • Gripe Water / Colic Drops. My reflux baby had some rouuuuugh nights. These helped? Maybe? Witching hour SUCKS.
  • A bigger swaddle that ZIPS. Screw trying to unvelcro my child out of her swaddle quietly at 2 AM.
  • A mirror to help with tummy time. She still hates tummy time. But she does like looking at herself for a while. So I count that as a win.
  • MORE. BOOKS. you don't have enough. I promise. After the 15th time of reading "The Rainbow Fish" you'll appreciate a change of pace. I personally recommend, "The Wonky Donkey."
  • Trial and error pacis. Your kid will have a preference and you'll just have to figure out which. Once you figure it out, buy extras.

  • Bibs / ABSORBENT Burp Cloths. Again... You don't have enough. And the little tiny rags that Gerber tries to sell at Target will not do the trick. Get some THICK in your burp cloth regimen.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if there's anything you would add to the list.

Butt paste:

https://smile.amazon.com/Boudreauxs-Butt-Paste-Ointment-Preservative/dp/B01LZF07GU

u/Neutrino_Blaster · 1 pointr/Parenting

Change the diaper as soon as possible after it is soiled.

Use sensitive wipes.

Apply a thick coating of Triple Paste diaper cream.This stuff is the best for extreme diaper rash. Desitin and A&D don't come close. Replace your A&D with triple paste right away. It's a little pricey, but once he gets back to normal, you won't need it anymore and you can go back to your routine. If you don't take the rest of my advice or you do something else, at least get the Triple Paste cream.

Did I say put it on thick? I mean THICK. Seriously, paint it on like you are frosting a cake. Next, sprinkle some unmedicated baby powder on top of the diaper cream. This helps the cream stay on that little butt a little longer so it can do its job. It works so well that he'll pee and it won't wash away the cream: the moisture will not touch his skin. Wipe as little as you need to at each changing and reapply. The protective spackle you have applied will give his delicate skin respite from the constant deluge of poop and pee, giving it time to heal.

It works. Good luck.
