So, you approve of putting coconut oil on a baby girl’s groin?
I have a 14 month old and am about to obtain another, also a girl, and am at a loss to address the near constant groin rashes.
The doc gave me some stuff and it is the same stuff as that prescribed for my foot fungus.
I though Vaseline was safe. I guess I thought wrong.
Yes...coconut oil for diaper rash is great
Especially organic unrefined coconut oil...just make sure youse a clean implement to remove it from container (spoon)...no fingers ...don’t want to contaminate it.
There are some stronger natural barrier creams for real rashes. We used cloth diapers with bamboo inners, I believe? Then there are some disposable liners that help keep moisture off her. And there are silk liners like these

Even if you use disposables these might help. I never personally used the silk ones, the disposable ones were enough to keep moisture a bit farther away.
And for any rash that has the skin really raw, I added clay powder on top of the barrier cream:

The clay was effing MAGIC when she got 5 teeth at once!! She was drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and the diaper rash was sooooo bad her skin was ripped to raw. The powder was a lifesaver since we were in the mountains on a ski week. So glad I had it. Healed her up really well.
