Diaper Rash Cream

Full of parental paranoia and worry I decided to also make some diaper cream. If you cloth diaper do not apply this to your childs' bottom and then put them into the cloth diaper. The oils will keep the cloth from doing its absorbent job and void any warranty your diaper may still have. Use a diaper liner to protect the diaper. Then you have a layer between baby booty, oil, and the cloth of your diaper.

To make it I took a little bit of coconut oil,

Put it into a bowl and did my best to stir it until it was "whipped" in texture,

then I added a bit of my baby powder. Mix the two together until you get a reasonable texture.

Store in an airtight container.

Diaper cream, made at home, chemical and talc-free!
