| Provided by Pristine:
1 tube of Desitin
1 tube of A & D ointment
1 tube of Lotrimin (or any other antifungal ointment)
1 tube of 0.5% Hydrocortisone cream
and a couple tablespoons of plain Maalox (or other plain antacid).
Mix all the ointments together and then slowly mix in the Maalox until it's blended in and nice and pasty. Add however much or little you need until you et a good consistency. Antacids seem to be the key ingredient in the butt pastes. When my singleton was a baby, the pedi gave us a script for butt paste and there was an antacid included in the doctor-prescribed version too, which is what prompted me to just make my own afterwards.
If there are open sores, I would buy some Lansinoh to apply on the butt first, let her go without the dipe for a while like you've been doing, and then put the butt paste on top of that. The pure lanolin will help heal the skin faster. |
