    My son is breastfed and for the first 5 months of his life I
    think I bought every diaper rash ointment known to mankind.
    My doctor finally gave me a sample of something called
    Calmoseptine. She said that she had never given to anyone
    before and she didn't know where to even get it. My son's
    rash used to be so bad that it would bleed everytime we
    changed him. I used the samples she gave me and it cleared
    it up within 3 days!!! I did some research and I found that
    I could go to Wal-Mart to the pharmacy and they could
    special order it for me and it's cheap. It's a fairly large
    tube and it's only like $7.oo. If you don't have a Wal-Mart
    in your area, check out any of your local pharmacies and I'm
    sure one of them could order it in for you. You don't need
    a prescription for it you just have to ask them to order it
    because it isn't sold over the counter. I love it! You can
    e-mail me if you have any more questions!
