I did the same too.. I stop when my baby is about 4-5mths old.. Everything is fine so far. From time to time if she got rash then I apply
My thought is disposable diaper contains all the urine until it is full, then parents will change it. Imagine the urine on your private area for so long, must be terrible. So it is better to apply diaper cream as a barrier to protect bb/toddler skin. After all their skin is very sensitive..I think after the children is toilet-trained then we dun need to put diaper cream?
honestly, since bb is born untill today, i seldom apply diaper cream in the day time unless i see it is a little reddish or after wearing the diaper to sleep for too long. only at night i will apply diaper cream as he will be sleeping for more than 6 hours.
my bb is almost 5 months old now and never has diaper rash. i do pick and chose the brand of diapers and the brand of cream. i change the diappy abt every 2.5-3.5hrs or as and when i feel it is a little heavy. occasionally i will also air his bumbum for a couple of minutes before putting on the diapy.
i personally dun like the idea of applying cream onto the skin day in and out. i prefer clean and dry skin.

The best way is to change the diaper every 3-3.5 hours.That will help to reduce the rashes in a more effective way.You can c the result very fast.

I agree with Mrs Ko.
My 2boys (30mths and 5mths)had only used the diaper cream for first month only.
Subsequently months, it is only as and when necessary.
Must practice good diapering meaning, change when the disposable diapers are either semi or 3quarter full, air-dry the bottom,cotton wool wipe the bottom after every change.
If you can, try to use cotton wool instead of wipes to clean the bottom. Cheaper and softer on bottom too. If outdoors, can used wipes,more convenient.
Especially important after every poo, using cotton wools instead of wipes if at home, then change to cloth diaper. AFter cloth diaper wet upon first urine, can change back to disposable.
You can save up on diaper cream.So far only used 2 tubes of cream during the entire motherhood.
Gabymum,
no hard and fast rules, try out various method by all mummies , but at least for the first month, must apply dilligently.
