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 (or a diaper liner, placed inside 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.Thanks to Catherine of MyFrugalBabyTips.com for this Frugal Baby Tip today!
