Your breastmilk is AMAZING! ✨🌟💫

Breast milk isn’t only the perfect food and immunity-builder for your baby—did you know it can also help soothe and heal diaper rash?

With its powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, breast milk has been shown in studies to be as effective as traditional treatments for managing mild to moderate diaper rash , like hydrocortisone cream!

👉🏼In one study involving 150 infants, breast milk cleared up diaper rash within seven days—matching the results of 1% hydrocortisone cream.

👉🏼Another study even compared breast milk to a zinc oxide barrier cream for moderate to severe cases in newborns. While both treatments showed similar improvement times, the study highlighted the incredible healing properties breast milk offers when applied topically.

Here’s why it works:

✨ Antimicrobial Action: Helps fight bacteria + yeast that irritate sensitive skin.
✨ Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Soothes redness + reduces swelling.
✨ Gentle + Natural: Perfect for delicate baby skin without any harsh chemicals.

How to Use Breast Milk for Diaper Rash:

• Express a small amount of milk + apply to the affected area.
• Let the milk air-dry before putting on a clean diaper.
• Repeat at every diaper change for best results.

For extra care, pair this with other supportive measures:

• Frequent diaper changes to reduce skin contact with irritants.
• Diaper-free time to let skin breathe.
• Gentle cleansing with warm water or mild, fragrance-free wipes.
• Avoid powders or harsh products that irritate sensitive skin.

For stubborn rashes, using a natural barrier cream like calendula salve can provide additional protection, offering healing benefits without the use of petroleum-based products. 🌿
