Diaper rash and preschool suggestions

When my kids have had bad diaper rashes, I've found nothing works better then cleaning with soap and water only, and pure cornstarch. It's the purest thing, with no additives or anything to further irritate the skin!

First, we have been using A&D Ointment for my son and it works great! Put a layer of Desitin over it to make it last all night if your son sleeps through the night without a diaper change. My first son actually had diaper rash so bad it turned into yeast infection, and he got it often. For that we used prescription Nystatin, nothing else worked.

Preschool - my son goes to First United Methodist in Downtown Mishawaka. The school is great and the teachers are fabulous! My son never has a complaint about going to school, so I know he enjoys it too! They do lots of crafts, learn phone number and addresses, show and tell, field trips, snack time....lots of activities to keep them busy. The 3 year old class is Tuesday and Thursday 9:00 am - 11:30 am. Let me know if you have other questions or want contact info :) Good luck in your search!

Plain old yogurt works wonders on diaper rashes and yeast infections. It has natural antibodies in it that help to heal. I was a little afraid to use it the first time, but really it was the least expensive way to take care of the rash. You get just plain yogurt, you can nuke it for a little to warm it, but it really works.

My sister lives in you area and she sent her son to Winding Waters. He loved going there and she really liked the staff and environment. They also have daycare and a great summer program for school aged kids that need child care. I thought the prices were fair too. Good luck!

It has been a while for diaper rashes, but we used Dr. Sirlins ointment and it works great. I found it near the pharmacy area at Osco and also Merrill pharmacy.
Hillcrest in Elkhart, on Bristol street near Cobblestone, is wonderful. Our son went there for 2 years and our daughter is going this coming fall. We love it there and I recommened it to everyone!

My daughter had really bad diaper rash almost a month ago and nothing was working. We used Balmex, Desatin, and A&D Ointment. Finally my neighbor suggested using Boudreaux(sp?)Butt Paste. It's a funny name and it is a little more expensive than others, but it worked in about a day. It also doesn't have that medicinal smell to it. We also switch back to sensitive wipes when she has diaper rash. That seems to help too.

For the diaper rash, I have had the best luck with the A&D ointment. For awhile we used a prescription creme from our dr., but I can't remember the name.

For preschool, our oldest went to Bridges in Granger (on Gumwood, close to the mall) for 3 years and it was WONDERFUL!! They are accredited and have staff that has been there for a long time. Very child-friendly, hands-on warm and loving environment. Here is their website: www.bridges-school.com. You should call for a tour- I guarantee you will be impressed!

Good Luck!

I have always used a product called Butt Paste. It works wonders in only one application! You can buy this at Wal-Mart, Target... pretty much anywhere.
