Change is an inevitable part of life. Its probably the only thing that is promised. However there's something special to be said about the good ol' things that remain the same and can be trusted for their quality and effectiveness. For instance, I have tried a few different brands of diapers on my daughter so far. For the most part, they're all the same with a few exceptions. Overall, I like the natural ones that are kinder to the environment and her skin. But a diaper is still a diaper and soon after she was home she had a rash. This is where I end up coming back to the same old thing- shea butter and other natural oils. Nothing is better at protecting and nourishing my baby's little butt butt than what Mother Nature provides. Her skin overall will get no better treatment than what I can whip together from my stash of goodies in the kitchen and the pantry.
My favorite remedy by far can be used all over the body too, but was very effective at speeding up the healing of the diaper rash and preventing it from coming back. And that was a very thin cream of natural shea butter blended with organic coconut oil and boabab oil. The boabab oil was given to me from a friend of mine who traveled to South Africa. This has been wonderful for Amari! I've even thought of perfecting the blend a bit more and giving samples away to friends to try it out and see the results. The beginnings of redness and irritated skin, inflammation of her epidermal skin layer, would have developed into a worse condition if left untreated. You don't wanna see your infant cry from something that is common, yet very preventable and treatable. And why not have a solution that treats all of your skin well! That's a timeless classic move from a momma. I think I made it in the old school remedy club since my ancestors have been sing these ingredients forever!
