Drool Rash

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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