For the last two weeks my son has had this really
bad diaper rash that has been getting worse and not getting any better. I
try and do everything I can from changing his diaper more often, giving him
baths, making him “air out” etc. But, I’ve realized that he’s not only breaking
out on his bottom, he’s also getting rashes or small hives on his face and
back. Being a mom and not being able to help your small child can be heart
breaking. It was so bad that he couldn’t even sleep. So I had to think on my
toes and fast! So I decided I was going to make him an oatmeal-peppermint bath.
If you ever feel without any idea of what to do before you visit a doctor, try
out these recipes!
P.S- After the bath I smeared Aloe Vera gel over his
rashes, let dry and then used the baby powder. (ß Next post:

Oatmeal-
Peppermint Baby Bath
1/2 cup Organic whole rolled oats (grinded)
1 tablespoon Olive oil
3-4 drops Peppermint extract
Grind oats in a
coffee grinder or blender. Add all other ingredients to the mixture and stir.
Run water and make sure to break up any clumped pieces. Soak for 15 minutes and
all done! This well help sooth any itching and keep him/her cooled. You can
choose to moisturize their skin with light oil (i.e. olive oil) or let their
skin breath
