Have you heard of Coconut Oil?
It looks like THIS
You can buy it pretty much anywhere, I even found it at Meijer.
Anyway, We've been doing a lot of reading on more whole\natural foods etc, and this is one of the new things we've been trying. It's kind of a mystery to me. It's a solid up until a certain temp, then it turns to a liquid oil. It's very bizarre, but really easy to use. I've used it mostly for cooking, but I've read you can use it for a myriad of household uses.
Which leads me to this post. Ruby had a TERRIBLE diaper rash from her amoxicillin. I was trying all of the creams etc, and wasn't getting anywhere fast. The Lord prompted me to think of coconut oil, and a quick google search indicated that I wasn't crazy. I started using it on Ruby, and literally in 12 hours, the rash was gone! GONE!
She recently had another flare up (I'm wondering if it's something I'm eating) and I used it again and it worked like a charm. I now have a small tupperware container on the changing table with it! I've also read that it's compatible with cloth diapers. I haven't been brave enough to try it yet though. Maybe I will.
