A+D Diaper Rash Products (Closed)

I remember when we first brought Baby Bird home from the hospital. I had a little list of the things I needed to have as a first time parent and looking back on them, I was a little off.

The truth is, if you are a first-time mom or dad, all I can say is “Don’t stress it.” Don’t worry about what you need to have and instead find comfort in knowing that these days there are a lot of pharmacies and department stores open 24 hours for those items you just happened to forget about.

If I was to put together my top 10 list today of those must-have things for when baby is brought home, it would look something like this (in no particular order):

1. Diapers
2. Wipes
3. Formula (if not breast feeding)
4. Ointments/Creams (Diaper Rash Cream, vaseline, etc)
5. Bottles
6. Sleepers
7. Swaddling blanket
8. Crib
9. Kids safety/first aid kit
10. Tylenol – for me

Before my list would have included outfits, teddy bears, books and some toys. Now I go for necessities that protect and comfort.

A+D Diaper Rash products are now available in Canada and they come in two types. The first is the Diaper Rash Ointment, a thick gel that works to prevent diaper rash and protects baby’s delicate skin against wetness.

Their second product is a diaper rash cream that I think ‘smells like babies’. It goes on thick and works to soothe diaper rash and it also protects from wetness that causes diaper rashes.

I wish both of these products were available to me a couple of years ago so I could have had them in my must-haves when we had a newborn. Now that our daughter is two, we don’t use these products as much as in the beginning, but they are still needed and readily available. I think these are a great addition to my daughter’s care products.

The most important thing to think about in putting together your must-have list is your child. Include items that are soothing and items that they need. Leave the toys and teddy bears up to the grandparents!

A+D is helping you put your must-have list together and wants to start you off in the right direction.

One lucky This Bird’s Day reader is going to win 3 containers of the A+D ointment and 3 containers of the A+D cream. That’s about a 1-year supply.
