Ella and the Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Case of Diaper Rash

Poor Ella has been battling a serious case of diaper rash.  We've tried every cream imaginable - A&D, Butt Paste, Triple Paste and Desitin.  Nothing seem to be working.  My niece had a terrible diaper rash so my brother-in-law and sister-in-law suggested using an Aquaphor/Maalox mixture.  We tried that and it worked pretty well but she was still miserable.  I got lots of suggestions from pediatrician and moms at Ella's school and we've got a new diaper routine down until it clears up - wipe her tush, dab dry with tissue, apply cornstarch then Aquaphor/Maalox paste.  That paired with baking soda baths and letting her air it out at night seems to be working.  Thankfully Ella isn't screaming bloody murder anymore when I change her diaper.  Her favorite part of all of this is definitely "airing it out."
