This diaper cream is one of the best on the market; it is also one of the more expensive ones so Amazon does offer a decent price for this when on sale. I highly recommend this cream because it's nice and thick, has the skin protectant zinc oxide, smells herbal (pretty strong smell, though, if you do not like this, take note), keeps her dry and has protected my baby's bottom since she was 2 weeks old with excellent results. We have not had one episode of diaper rash. My neighbor had recommended this cream to me, stating that her daughter had a horrible diaper rash and after many trials with other creams, this one worked the best: diaper rash all gone. I would have to agree with her that it's fantastic, and I personally recommend it to others as well. It is thick, and will spread easily when it warms up on the baby's bottom.
As the mother of twins, I'm shocked by how long our Burt's bum cream has lasted. We've used it with every diaper change since leaving the hospital, just a dab will do for a newborn. Our two tubes, one 2 oz and one 3 oz, were baby shower gifts, and because we use Burt's or comparable products for ourselves we never thought to try anything else, and they'd never had even a hint of rash.
The tube is a little stiff when it runs low, so we cut the edges and peeled it open. We then scooped quite a bit of goop out and stored it in a small jar or tin -- and if you're a fan of Burt's, you've surely got a few extra of these around!
After about four months, both tubes were starting to dwindle just as my boys began teething early. After two weeks of fever and diarrhea, their little bums were raw and we needed to apply cream more generously. With twins, money is always tight, so I went ahead and picked up some conventional cream with similar ingredients to Burt's -- a large tube for only $4, how could I resist? Well, I should have -- after only one use and four hours in a diaper, both my boys had breakouts, one fairly severe with spots of blood. I was appalled. I've never left a review on Amazon, but I feel so strongly this product is safe and effective I had to weigh in. When Burt's bum cream says it contains no sulfates, parabens, pthalates or petrochemicals, it really makes you wonder about the ones that do.
