Natural Cures: Diaper Rash

Handed down for generations: Corn Starch

Posted August 15, 2008

My best friend shared this tip with me: Corn Starch. Her baby was covered with red, horrible diaper rash, and her grandmother told her to try Corn Starch. She had tried every ointment under the sun and nothing worked but when she tried Corn Starch, she said it thoroughly worked and her daughter never had diaper rash again. It's also cheap and has the advantage of absorbing smells. Talcum Powder, consequently, is bad for you, so try Corn Starch.
