If you’ve been in the diaper game for more than five minutes, you’ve probably tried a little bit of everything. Thick creams. Wipes that sting. That one that your cousin swears by.
But there’s a simpler way to take care of your baby’s skin (one that doesn’t involve panic-slathering or crossing your fingers at every change.)
We call it CPR: Cleanse – Protect – Restore.
(Not to be dramatic, but it’s kind of a lifesaver.)
Do you CPR your baby’s butt?
Here’s everything you need to know about the most effective way to avoid diaper rash (dare we say, forever?! Yes, we absolutely do dare…)
Cleanse
This is the part we often rush through. You’re mid-change, baby’s squirming, and you just want to get it done. But how we clean makes a difference.
Wipes, even the “sensitive” ones, can sting or dry out irritated skin.
And water alone? Surprisingly drying, especially for already fragile skin.
Gentle cleansing is about removing mess without stripping away natural moisture.
No rubbing.
No fuss.
Just clean, calm skin.
Protect
Once your baby’s skin is clean, it needs a little backup.
Even the best diapers trap moisture, and even the chillest babies wiggle. That combo? Friction + wetness = rash territory.
A breathable barrier helps guard against that - keeping skin soft and shielded without smothering it in thick, goopy cream.
(Because nobody wants to scrape off a layer of ointment at every change.)
Restore
This is the quiet step most people forget.
Diapering is hard on skin. A good routine should help it bounce back, not just survive.
Restoring is about giving skin what it needs to stay healthy - hydration, softness, and a chance to breathe between changes.
This isn’t just about fixing a rash. It’s about supporting skin before it gets irritated.
So... do you really need three products?
You could. But you don’t have to.
Because La Petite Crème is one of those rare things that actually does it all - cleanses, protects, and restores in one step.
It’s a creamy, oil-based lotion that lifts away mess, leaves a protective layer behind, and helps baby’s skin stay soft and calm (all without rinsing or rubbing.)
Less mess.
Fewer products.
One less thing to juggle.
It’s French parenting in a bottle: simple, smart, and just... easier.
A little extra when you need it
If a rash is already showing up (or your baby’s skin just needs a bit more love), our Organic Diaper Balm is the sidekick you’ll want on hand.
It’s made with beeswax, calendula, and zero junk - and you can use it on more than just baby butts!
Dry cheeks, flaky knees, mystery rough patches? Done. It’s the family “magic cream” in our household!
Petites pensées
You don’t need a shelf full of products to care well.
Just the right ones, and a routine to keep things simple for your already busy days.
Cleanse. Protect. Restore.
Then carry on with your day. You’ve got this.
