If there is one thing about having a baby that I do not like, it is the constant annoyance of baby skin conditions. My daughter really struggled with Eczema and that is finally starting to go away. My two year old son has always been prone to diaper rashes and my newborn has cradle cap and face rashes. Ugg. Having children has sure caused me to do my research on sensitive skin and cures for skin problems! But, through my extensive research I have found so many helpful hints and products, I now feel adequate to handle just about anything. Diaper rashes tend to be the most bothersome issues for babies (from my experience) because they occur in sensitive areas and are often very painful if left untreated. I remember one time my son had a dirty diaper and for some odd reason, I didn't realize it. When I changed him, he had been in it for about an hour and had developed a mean rash. It was one of those moments as a mom when I just felt so terrible and like I had failed him as a mother. After treating the rash with my usual diaper rash cream, he was much happier. I hate those kinds of rashes!!!
Recently I came across a Canadian-based company that carries a fantastic diaper rash cream that I really was interested in. Baby Butz is a mom-founded company and was created because a mom saw a need for a diaper rash cream that was clear of perfumes, chemicals and toxins. Here is more of her beautiful story...
Baby Butz is truly a product that came about as a result of a mother's love. Oh, how I envy this little boy for having such a wonderful mom. I just love their story.
So, for this review I was sent several tubs of Baby Butz Cream to try on my children. The packaging is sooo cute for babies. That was what first caught my eye...I love the colors and the little turtle. This tub looks so great in my nursery.
Baby Butz Cream is 100% natural and 100% guaranteed. It really doesn't smell like anything at all, which is nice because I grew up around Desitin and that stuff stinks!! The ingredient list is: Zinc Oxide, Lanolin, Petrolatum, Starch. Pretty simple and totally natural! The texture of this cream is really different and something that I was not used to. It is VERY thick and dense which means you need very little. I tried out this cream on my son's bottom for several days and here is what I found. The cream stays on for a long time. I applied it at bedtime and even though his diaper was wet in the morning, his bottom was still dry and you could still see the cream. It kept him dry and comfortable, which I appreciated. Today, I did an experiment with Baby Butz as I heard that some have had it work on Eczema.
My 14 week old has had a mild rash on his face and it does not want to go away. So, I applied a very thin layer of Baby Butz Cream to it and by mid-afternoon, the redness was gone and tonight when I put him to bed, it was almost completely gone altogether! Sooo, I am really excited to use this again on him. Obviously, I was careful to not get it near his eyes and massaged it into his skin really well so there was little residue left.
Needless to say, I am definitely going to keep using Baby Butz Cream on my babies. I am also going to recommend it to other moms who have little ones. Diaper rashes are no fun and there is no need for babies and toddlers to suffer when there is a great product like this on the market. Baby Butz Cream can be purchased primarily in Canada, but can also be found in New York and also online directly from the company. Their largest tub costs $14.99 which is a GREAT deal and well worth it.
I have a large and small tub of Baby Butz Cream that I would like to give away to one of my readers! Don't worry, they are sealed and have never been used. :) Here are your entry options...

I'm expecting my first, so I haven't tried any yet. I know of the old standby, Desitin, and Bordreaux's Butt Paste. I'll be much better versed in this next year!
I love Baby Butz cream! My son would get rashes so bad that they would blister and bleed. We tried everything and A&D gave him a bit of relief but on the advice of another mom I bought some Baby Butz cream and he has not had a rash since! I also love that fact that it is chemical free. heatherg2002@yahoo.ca

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...
Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...
Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...
