Chaffing/Rash around legs where diapers rub?

Anyone else experience this, particularly when DC started crawling/rocking? DD has never had diaper rash, ever, but the last few weeks she's started to get what looks like raised bumps/chaffing where the diaper elastic goes around her legs. DH said (I'll admit it, he may be right this time ) it seemed to start when she really started moving all over the floor, crawling, pulling, etc. And it seems to clear up overnight, when she's obviously not crawling around.

What can I do for it? I've tried A&D but it doesn't really work well. Someone recommended Triple Paste, but I haven't tried it yet. And the diapers aren't too small for her and not too tight, we thought about that already.

DS gets this also, and he's not crawling yet. Plus his diapers are just about right, not too tight, not too loose.

I put vaseline in those spots, and it seems to help. When I forget to do it, I see those red lines again.

Oh, I'll try Vaseline, thanks!

I would put some powder on that area, not cream.

This happened with dd when I was using huggies. Pampers' elastic seem to be softer.

DD recently started having red marks it seems where the tabs are on her tummy...I've been putting vaseline & that has worked.

If you want to try a powder, use cornstarch. Baby powder is not recommended any longer.
