9. Petroleum jelly

Petroleum jelly works as a wonderful skin protector, acting as a barrier to the irritating effects of a soiled diaper on soft baby skin. After cleaning your baby's bottom with warm water and no soap, dry it well and rub petroleum jelly over the affected area. Then, replace the diaper. If you do this every time you change your baby's diaper, the rash will heal quickly. You can find petroleum jelly in supermarkets or drugstores; the most common brand is Vaseline.
