~Baby Bottom Blues ~

As all moms have gone through (at least once) , Addison has had an ongoing never-curable diaper rash ,although hers is not your ordinary run of the mill rash . The first time we gave up going through every type of diaper, wipe , laundry soap, diaper cream and made a trip to the doctor.
Lo and behold it was yeast infection .. we were prescribed an antibiotic and a cream ..and after a weeks use .. it cleared up a bit but still was quite irritated. Back to the doctor after a few weeks to see if it may be something else and the doctor said she must just have really sensitive skin and told us to pick up some cream from the pharmacy downstairs (at superstore south) formulated and produced by the IWK in halifax (it had no other name other than Buttocks paste ) , I went down and they seemed to know exactly what I was asking for ,although i'm not sure whether all pharmacies carry it or just that one ,it was a bit pricey , about 7.50 for 100 mg, a beige color, a really nice consistency and smelled like yeast (kind of ironic eh?). That night I coated her before bed , next morning magically the rash was gone ...no itching , no redness ... gone ! ....


So I thought for the benefit of all you frustrated Moms like me out there ... sudocrem is great but this cream is amazing!! Go out, get some and kiss your baby bottom worries goodbye !!

That stuff is amazing, I got some awhile ago when my son had a bad rash and it's like magic!!! I got mine at Shoppers...good to know you can get it at Superstore too, I wasn't sure where else had it.

WE used Desitin when Austin had a never ending rash when he was 1. it was the only thing that made it go away.

yeah i heard desitin was good , but i think it was just any zinc cream that didn't work for her , and this IWk formula has no zinc in it

so it's not a prescription but you have to ask the pharmacist? Logan gets rashes on and off but I feel so bad for him when he gets it :o( Glad Addy is feeling better!

yep , it's behind the counter and they have to measure it out for you ..
