Just a Mom....
I am a Mom of one and no one gave me any advice about kids at home but I quickly had to learn.

For diaper rash...skip it
I have a love-hate relationship with this product. I use it on my baby to prevent diaper rash after almost every diaper change. What I love is how easy it is to apply it. It almost melts on his behind and spreads well. What I hate is how strong it smells. Even after his diaper is fastened and he's dressed, I can still smell it. It actually smells so strong and so unpleasant that I am sometimes fooled into thinking he soiled his diaper! I also hate how fast it disappears from his behind. It doesn't...Read complete review
I have a love-hate relationship with this product. I use it on my baby to prevent diaper rash after almost every diaper change. What I love is how easy it is to apply it. It almost melts on his behind and spreads well. What I hate is how strong it smells. Even after his diaper is fastened and he's dressed, I can still smell it. It actually smells so strong and so unpleasant that I am sometimes fooled into thinking he soiled his diaper! I also hate how fast it disappears from his behind. It doesn't stay on. I think it might actually seep into the diaper shortly after application. After all, cleaning my fingers after applying it is very easy. Anyhow, I am off trying to find a better diaper rash prevention system. Too bad, I love the ointment idea better than the cream. Last word: Does it work in preventing rashes? Well, my boy still gets them as often and bad as he used to so I'm tempted to say no.
Comments about A+D Original Ointment, Diaper Rash and All-Purpose Skincare Formula, 4 oz:
This is my "go-to" remedy for abused hands, elbows, knees after a day of gardening, camping, or other activity that exposes my office dermis to the great outdoors. Leaves a protective layer so don't plan on handling fine silks after you've put it on your hands. I don't mind the smell, but it does have a medicinal odor

I usually go with organic type products, but after using several creams I can honestly say don't waste your money or time with anything else. This stuff is bulletproof for rashes and I will never buy anything else.

Comments about A+D Original Ointment, Diaper Rash and All-Purpose Skincare Formula, 4 oz:
Started using this 25 years ago when my daughter was born... still make sure I have some around! Absolutely great on chapped noses during cold & allergy season. My husband and I also use it to soothe very dry or irritated skin almost anywhere. If I use it on my nose or face I put it on at bedtime. I wish they sold the smaller tubes here, a little goes a long way and we really don't need the big size.
Comments about A+D Original Ointment, Diaper Rash and All-Purpose Skincare Formula, 4 oz:
The hospital used A&D and said that this is the best prevention for diaper rashes. After leaving the hospital, I religously used A&D ointment on my daughter & she NEVER had any diaper rashes. This is a MUST for any FIRST time parents.

Comments about A+D Original Ointment, Diaper Rash and All-Purpose Skincare Formula, 4 oz:
This product works on everything, for a multitude of uses. My children have been out of diapers for years, but I still keep A&D Ointment in the house all of the time.
Comments about A+D Original Ointment, Diaper Rash and All-Purpose Skincare Formula, 4 oz:
I use this stuff daily to prevent my child from a diaper rash. It helps protect the sensitive skin. It is nice and thick, but it will not cure the redness if it is already there. Then you need the medicated version. It is much thicker than the cream version which I don't feel does much at all, even the mediated cream version.
Comments about A+D Original Ointment, Diaper Rash and All-Purpose Skincare Formula, 4 oz:
A+D is the best diaper ointment on the market. Out hospital used it and our pediatrician recommended it. We used it for both of our children, and it did a great job preventing and treating diaper rash. I prefer the tubes for neatness (it also comes in a big tub).

Comments about A+D Original Ointment, Diaper Rash and All-Purpose Skincare Formula, 4 oz:
Works great for any skin irritation. My son got a chemical burn from wearing swimming trunks in a pool and after a shower we put on A & D for soothing--worked great. Another time one of the kids was running in bare feet and tore the bottom of his foot, we put on A & D and healed great! Diarrhea? A & D. Anywhere clothing or sheets would rub on the skin, A & D is natural and great for healing!
For skin irritation use: apply liberally as often as necessary.
For diaper rash use:
change wet and soiled diapers promptly
cleanse the diaper area, and allow to dry
apply ointment liberally as often as necessary, with each diaper change, especially at bedtime or anytime when exposure to wet diapers may be prolonged
