Dr. Smith's Diaper Ointment, 3-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 2)

A friend gave me a 2 oz jar at my baby shower and proclaimed it the best there was. I didn't think anything of it and later purchased a large, cheap, family sized jar of Desitin for home and figured I would just take the 'little container' to day care.They used that one little container throughout her infant care class--During this period, my little one NEVER, EVER HAD A DIAPER RASH. They ran out just as she entered early toddler class. Since I had a tub of Desitin at home, I just took some of that and threw it in the little jar since it was conveniently sized....Then, the rashes began...and never stopped. I thought it was the frequency of diaper changes and started questioning my day care and even started changing my daughter several times in the middle of the night....But, to no avail--blisters all over her little bum. Then, one of the teachers commented, "Dr. Smith's is one of the best--I don't know why it's not doing the trick." AAAAAHAAAA MOMENT: I realized then that the reason my Princess had never had a rash during infant care was because of DR. SMITH'S.That same night, I hunted that little, rather expensive container down and bought two--one for day care, one for me. Within a day my daughter's perpetual, horrid, blistering, bleeding rash cleared up. WITHIN A DAY! It was like MAGIC. Two days later I got on Amazon and bought 6 of them. I'm planning on giving one to every mother-to-be from now on.It is more expensive per oz than other bumm product out in the market to date. But I make up for in what I save in heart-ache, stress when my baby won't let me change her because it obviously hurts...and what I save in the extra diapers I was changing within SECONDS of noticing they were wet. It is WORTH EVERY PENNY.Update: March 2008. I've probably used two tubes in two years for my first born baby. Since then, I have had a second child and am happy to report that I continue to use Dr. Smith's at bed time. She has yet to suffer through a diaper rash. I know it's pricey, but you really won't need that much since it's great at prevention.

My first baby just turned 5 months old, and as a new mother, I have been receiving lots of advice. Shortly after my son was born, a co-worker of my mom's told her that she swore by Dr. Smith's diaper ointment. I put this info in the back of my mind because as of yet, my son had not suffered from diaper rash.And then he did. I was fighting it for over a week with my arsenal of butt creams (Nature's Baby, Burt's Bee's, Boudreaux's) & nothing really knocked his rash out. It wasn't getting any worse, but his rash certainly wasn't getting any better, either.I found the Dr. Smith's at my grocery store & put it to use right away. Less than 24 hours later, the rash on my son's sweet little buns has all but disappeared! I couldn't be more pleased! I've passed on a hearty thank you to the woman who recommended it and am about to order a few more tubes from Amazon so that I'll be sure to have one in each of our diaper bags.The Dr. Smiths goes on smooth, washes off easily, and has a mild scent. I highly recommend this product!

Product works but price is high.

Es muy buena la pomada pero ahora es demaciado cara

I am a Registered Nurse, and a mother of 4. Dr. Smith's makes both roles easier. This paste works miracles on bottoms of all sizes. I have been using 'docto mitts' (courtesy of my daughter)for 9 years. My first-born had a staph infection on her buttocks as an infant and diaper changes were excruciating - until a pharmacist in San Antonio recommended using Dr. Smith's along with the antibiotic cream at every diaper change. I've used this miracle cream ever since. It works great when kids get constipated and get little tears from hard stools, it works when they've forgotten to wipe effectively and they get a little sore. It worked for me personally after the birth of my daughter and I was suffering from the stitches. It works on my patients who experience rashes. I've used it for burns, sunburns, scrapes, cracked nipples, and all sorts of rashes. The ointment does not have any pain-killers in it, but it's very calming to the skin and other delicate tissues, it even works great for newly circumcised little boys. I recommend Dr. Smith's for everyone.(written by Barbara West)

After our 1 year old son developed a severe diaper rash we tried numerous products to aid in the healing process along with a sprinkling of corn starch to aid in dryness. Nothing worked. Prescription creams relieved the pain and redness a bit but never cured the rash. We battle this problem for 2 weeks until I heard about Dr. Smith's Diaper Ointment. After reading reviews of this product on "Amazon.com" We decided to give it a try. Best diaper ointment on the market. BAR NONE. That stubborn, painful, cherry red rash was GONE in "TWO" days. AWESOME. Our son returned to his cheerful, joyful self again. This ointment is nothing short of a miracle.Truly worth it's weight in gold when it comes to helping frustrated parents help their child. And it's not even a prescription controlled medication. Awesome.We ALL thank you Dr. Smith for this great product.

Dr. Smith's paste is very effective. I wish I had known about it with my first baby, but I tried it with my second and am fully converted! (The only other brand that I think as highly of is Triple Paste--both work fantastically well, and the consistency and look are identical, so I'm guessing they're very similar formulas...I buy whichever is cheaper). I know Dr Smith's is pricier than the stuff you find in the store, but a little goes a long way and, more importantly, it WORKS almost immediately (rash gone in 1-2 diaper changes!). The mainstream brands I've tried (Desitin, Butt Paste, and A&D) did not work for me and sometimes seemed to exacerbate the rash. I'm so glad to have found something that works--I recommend it to anyone expecting a baby!
