Frugal Diapering: Diaper Rash Cure

Image: Unhappy Baby, by Steve Clayton on Freeimages

Coat your baby's bottom with a solid vegetable shortening - or coconut oil; it's a lot cheaper than brand name diaper creams and usually works just as well.

If baby's bottom is particularly sore, spread the shortening/coconut oil (or diaper cream) on the diaper instead of directly on baby's bottom.

Then fasten the diaper as usual, and the shortening (or diaper cream) will be applied painlessly.
