It depends a bit on the actual product, but many that are good for eczema will also be good for nappy rash too. No nappy time is good. Another thing you can do to help is add a couple of chamomile tea bags to the bath wen you’re bathing them - the chamomile is quite soothing for skin.
For natural options there are some beeswax based balms that are very good. Here in the UK we have Pot of Gold Baby Balm which has been brilliant on nappy rash, notice an improvement overnight. Not sure if same product is available in the USA, but sure you’d have equivalent things.

How can you tell if it’s diaper rash or mild eczema in a baby? Would an excema cure lotion work for diaper rash too? The pictures of eczema look similar to baby diaper rash but I know my child also has food allergies so I can’t tell if the rash is from that or the ammonia from the diapers.

I am going to try the chickweed idea for baby rash skin because I am studying to work with people using natural remedies and this sounds right to me. I know chickweed is good for chest infections and hoarseness. Also it’s an interesting plant because they say it goes to sleep at night because of how the leaves fold.

My daughter’s nappy baby rash was helped with shea butter. She also had a little rash from the formula so some rashes can be due to foods or fomula too. It aint easy being a mom!
