Diaper rash! Little man's not having much fun today. It got bad last night and is a little better today. Christi said she alternated between corn starch and a paste called "Mrs. Meyers Clean Balm." We've been using "Butt Paste" for the last few days and just switched to an Aveeno brand this morning. They both have the same Zinc Oxide active ingredient in them, so I'm not sure if the switch will change anything. 
"S" is for S-ooothing? S-alve? S-tarch? S-upaSonic? (Mommy has been on a Salt-n-Peppa kick today and now we both have the song stuck in our heads) The shaker did have salt in it, but I cleaned it out and put corn starch in it. It works surprisingly well. Also, Tracy Strober bought us some cloth diapers so I cut them up and put them in the warmer in place of the baby wipes. The pediatrician said the chlorine in the wipes may irritate his skin until he gets a little older.
Daddy (being the handy-dandy mofo that he is), folded the cut up diaper sections into each other so we could still use the wipe warmer the same as we did with store-bought wipes. We're gonna try to wash and recycle the wipes - we'll see how that actually turns out.
