Hi,


Do you know if using the diaper rash cream on premes is ok? My friend just had her baby SIX weeks early and she (the baby)has a really bad diaper rash. She is going to the doctor tomorrow, however I would REALLY love it if she could use the cream and it really work NOW. I know you have to be careful with preme's so I'm not sure if something in it could be too strong???? I've never had a baby before, can you tell smileys/smiley36.gif





Thanks,


Bridget G

I don't know about preemies in particular, but my daughter has very sensitive skin and our rash cream is the only kind that doesn't cause her more irritation. I hope someone with more knowledge can help you out about if there is a difference with a preemie!

I recommend she see her doctor first. It may be yeast rash and then baby will probably use Lotrimim and then could use our Diaper rash cream. I don't think it would make to much of a differnece on a premie. My son was 4 weeks early and he does great with it. How old is the baby now?

Hmmm, I can't think of a problem with it but I would ask if she has seen the doc yet. If doc says use destin then she could use Arbonne, I would think. You could print out the ingred list and send it with her to the doc. Again, I would make sure it isn't a yeast rash first.


Good Luck.
