Breast milk helps diaper rash!
BREAST MILK DIAPER RASH STUDY: You can treat your baby’s diaper rash with breast milk. Human breast milk is as effective as topical steroids in treating diaper rash! In case you needed one more amazing thing about breast milk this breastfeeding month, this 2013 randomized control trial involving 140 infants ages 0-24 months compared hydrocortisone topical steroid (normal care for severe diaper rash) to human breast milk for 7 days. Both treatments improved the rash at days 3 and 7, and human breast milk treatment was as effective as the topical steroid. So feel free to use breast milk to supplement your usual diaper rash care like zinc oxide!
