Yes: Monistat 7 is safe to use on infant diaper rashes that have notcrespinded together diaper rash treatments or if rash has definitely been diagnosed as yeast by a practitioner. Also make sure you are allowing air into the diaper and change frequently to keep area dry.

Yes: Yes, monistat 7 is safe to use for infants for a diaper rash. An alternative is clotrimazole, which is also over-the-counter (often found in foot care section as is also used for athlete’s foot). If an infant also has oral thrush or is not improving, please contact their doctor to be seen and for further advice.
