[blparent] cloth diapers

Tue Jun 2 00:35:13 UTC 2009

A nurse in the hospital recommended using A&D Ointment after every diaper 
change and it worked great for us.  The earliest stages of diaper rash 
aren't tactilely discernible as far as I know; by the time you have heat and 
bumps it's fairly far along.
