Drool Rash

[SarahK]

Katie is developing a pretty good drool rash under her lower lip. Anything I can do to help it go away/not get worse? I'm thinking I might put some of my lanolin (from BFing) on it...I think I read something in a Dr. Sears column about doing that.

Aquaphor works wonders on drool rash :)

[Shanna]

Yup. My ped called it 'pacifier dermatitis' and said Aquaphor would be great for it. :nod:

Chapstick! I read it in a parenting magazine a long time ago and thought it sounded stupid at the time, but then I tried it and worked awesomely. :biggrin:

Yet another aquaphor believer here!

What is Aquaphor?

[Shanna]

It's a lotion. It's in a blue and white tube. I believe its made by Johnson & Johnson. Works GREAT!

It's made by the makers of Eucerin (which I also use instead of baby lotion). Aquaphor is great for diaper rash too!

THanks. I didn't realize I had a tube of it sitting at my feet :lol:

[Karri]

Yeah - we use it for diaper rash, too. I also started using it on Elliott's recent eczema on his back and it works like a charm! And in a pinch, I will use it for my lips!

I think they sell it by all the lotions and whatnot.

Glad I found this thread. Madison has a drool rash too and we just so happen to have a sample tube of Aquaphor in her room. I had never heard of it before that.

[SarahK]

Thanks all--I picked up some Aquaphor today.

This is exactly what I did for Katie's drool rash and it cleared up very quickly!
