Notes

Using the Rash Cream Recipe - 
Apply the baby balm to baby’s skin (cleansed and dried) in an even thin layer during diaper change. I add this to the affected areas every diaper change when baby (or toddler) has a rash. In addition, my children tend to get diaper rashes while teething, so I always keep this applied to baby’s tush during teething for rash prevention.
