Changing your baby?
While in the hospital the nurses told me to put vasaline on the babies bottom..should I still be using vasaline he is 4 months? If not what do you use!

Re: Changing your baby?
They recommend the Vaseline so young b/c the poop is tar-like and the Vaseline makes it easier to wipe off. Once it becomes normal poop, you don't need the Vaseline anymore. I don't remember when we stopped, probably at a few weeks old.
We use nothing on DD's butt. I wouldn't use anything unless there's a specific problem happening.

Hum......now that say that............that's right!! Would make diaper changes quicker & easier without it! At 8 weeks I am still doing it!!

Re: Changing your baby?
We never did that. Plus, I'd be a little hesitant putting too many petroleum products on a newborn. I'm sure there's healthier creams you can use that would give the same benefits.

Yes, I guess DD was about a few weeks old. The nurse at the hospital told us to use vaseline, but when mentioned to the doctor he said no need. We don't use anything now.

Re: Changing your baby?
We did for a few weeks then we stopped. It makes it easier to clean up the poop.

Re: Changing your baby?
I don't use anything unless I see signs of redness, which I hardly ever do. I'll use A&D or Desitin or Balmex.
