I know this is going to sound absurd - but it really works!
Homemade Diaper Cream
Mix Crisco shortening with corn starch (or even better: Johnson's Baby Powder Pure Cornstarch) to make a paste and apply liberally to baby's bottom.
The shortening provides a barrier to wetness and the cornstarch absorbs any leftover wetness.
Since there are no artificial fragrances or preservatives it is hypo-allergenic as well.
I know it works for my little princess and for the amount of money you would spend on a manufactured diaper cream you can make a whole tub of this!
Thanks to Mrs. Holdridge for this Frugal Baby Tip!

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.
Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!
If you have Frugal Baby Tips to share, we want to hear them! It might even get published!
