What is the best thing to use for baby diaper rash, when its red and bleeding a little?

Barrier cream: That type of diaper rash is usually caused by looser stools or diarrhea. I recommend using a barrier cream like a;d or desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) to keep the stool away from the baby's skin. You can also apply some vaseline on top of the cream and when you change his diaper you can wash off the stool and the vaseline with the vegetabel sprayer at the sink and then just pat him dry and apply cream and vaseline.

Diaper rash cream: Use a good diaper rash cream. Put it on very thickly so that you cannot see the skin. Change the diapers quickly after they are soiled and reapply the cream. There are several good diaper creams on the market.
