Having a baby is an amazing thing. Unfortunately, there is no handbook on what you’ll need to make this baby care stuff happen. Whether this is baby #1 or baby #10, the needs of caring for a baby doesn’t change. We all know we need the basics like diapers, wipes, clothes, and a killer diaper bag, but what else? Here are a few vital product’s insider mom’s have on their baby registry, ones you may not have thought of yet!
Boudreaux’s Butt Paste
Something that doesn't always cross a mom-to-be's mind when she's shooting down baby registry products is all important diaper rash cream. Not just any regular diaper cream though, you want the good stuff. One of my favorite things to have on my baby registry is Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. This stuff is amazing and nice and thick.
No new mom should go without Boudreaux’s Butt Paste on their list. Whenever my baby had an issue down under, I reached for Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. It starts healing right on contact. Knowing that something works right away is essential when you have someone screaming their head off in the middle of the night.
If your baby is dealing with chafed skin, Boudreaux’s Butt Paste will work wonders. It protects chafed skin by forming an instant barrier directly on the skin. That means it is great to use whether your baby has a current diaper rash or not. Keeping your baby clean, dry, and using a moisture barrier like Boudreaux’s Butt Paste is a great diaper rash preventative.
Whether you are solely trying to prevent diaper rash or your baby has a moderate case on their behind, Boudreaux’s Butt Paste has a formula that will work for your situation.
- Original Boudreaux’s Butt Paste: 16% Zinc Oxide – helps treat and prevent diaper rash by creating a barrier to seal out moisture.
- Maximum Strength Boudreaux’s Butt Paste: 40% Zinc Oxide – over two times the rash fighting power of the Original formula with no harsh ingredients. You can start noticing a difference in as little as three hours!
- Both are available in 2oz., 4oz., and 16oz.!
If you want to go a little more natural they also have an aloe and beeswax version. It's not quite as thick as the other versions but it is still pediatrician recommended just like all the others!

New moms, without a doubt, NEED these items on their list. Moms, don’t forget to add a few things for yourself as well. I love adding a few things for me, so that when baby gets here, I have an easier time taking care of baby. You know what they say, take care of yourself first, so you can take care of your baby. Chocolate is always on “my list.”
We used swaddlers with our youngest, now two years old. She slept amazing beginning at a very young age. Our older daughter didn’t get swaddled and never slept well.
Each child is different but there are a few things that are the same across the board. It sounds like your kids prefer swaddling!
I haven’t really needed to use diaper cream with my 6-month-old yet, but Boudreaux’s Butt Paste was my go-to when my daughter was a baby! She was always prone diaper rashes, whereas I haven’t had that issue with my baby so far.
The younger they are, the more likely to get a rash. Glad to hear it worked so well for you! Glad to hear the little bum is nice and clear as well!
I definitely need to get some of these items for my Sister in Law. She is having her first baby in March and needs all the help she can get.
The first one is always the hardest. You feel lost and have no clue what to truly expect. Glad I could help out!
Butt Paste is for sure in my arsenal of items. It works like a dream
Amen to that! It’s a handy item to keep around, especially if you have kiddos.
I love butt paste. I used it many years ago and completely forgot about it. So glad to see it now! I will have to remember and pick some up, they are really awesome!
Yes, butt paste is amazing and definitely a product that works for all ages. A good product to have around.
I remember when my daughter had the worst diaper rash. It was painful. This cream really helped sooth her.
I’m glad to hear that. The best part about the butt paste is the fact that it doesn’t burn at first. All soothing all the time, ha!
I love the steam bag concept. I have a few friends that are new moms and this would be great for them.
I’m so glad I could offer some help to new moms. Yes, it came in handy after the concept hit me.
Definitely saving this for some of my new mom friends!! I have actually used that Butt Paste on skin irritations as a grown up! hahahah, great product!
I don’t blame you. It works pretty well on anything like that no matter how old you are!
I have heard that the butt paste is amazing before. I guess I need to get some of it.
Yes you sure do! You’ll be glad you did too! Works wonders.
Butt Paste has been my go to diaper cream for all three kids. It works pretty much right away and doesn’t sting when applied.
That’s the best part about it. It’s very soothing and doesn’t hurt them further.
I hadn’t heard of the butt paste, but I now have it on my list to give to all the new mommas in my neighborhood! Thanks for the information!
You’re more than welcome! I’m sure they will love you very much for getting it for them!
I loved this brand. Creating my baby registry was so stressful, I had no idea what I needed!
The first one is SO hard because you can guess and have other moms tell you but you never know with each child what’s going to be more of a necessity.
This is a great list of must-have baby products!
Thank you, I thought so too! Thanks for visiting.
OMG, I know it’s just because I’m not a mom, but the name of the diaper rash cream made me LOL. So glad to hear it works, though!!
It’s been around for a long time but that was my reaction when I first heard it too. It’s definitely a great name. Makes it memorable.
This is a great list, and some definite essentials on there! We love that butt paste; we got through so much of it with my youngest when we were still figuring out his food allergies and things were a little sore down there! We used to buy it by the bucket load!
Oh wow, it sounds like it came in pretty handy! It’s good stuff and works well. Poor guy, sounds like he had it rough.
I don’t have babies but have always recommended this for runner friends with ‘thigh chaffing”. It was recommended to me years ago by a cyclist and it really does help!
I would imagine it would work for anything like that! I have never thought of it outside my children but that makes sense!
Those are all worth getting for new moms and their babies! I’m sure these products will make their lives easier!
It definitely makes life a little easier when it comes to having a baby. After the first one, you’re more of a pro at knowing what’s vital.
Butt Paste are effectively treats and helps prevent diaper rash. It so helpful for the babies!
It definitely is. Glad to know I’m not the only one who loves it! It’s pretty popular!
You gotta love any product that has the name butt paste. I wonder if my sister in law knows about this. passing this along.
I know, right?? It’s definitely an eye catching name. Glad to help!
This is a great list. I found my list changed after my first born knowing what was a necessity and what wasn’t. A good butt cream is essential. Diaper rash is awful. This looks like a great product.
After the first child is definitely when you find out the finer details of what having children means. That includes what to buy and what not to buy.
Oh man, I remember when my kids were little. Those diaper rashes were the worst! This looks like a great product.
They can be a battle all their own, that’s for sure!
You are helping so many moms because they only know and think how cute the baby is and how cute they are in clothes. The real thoughtful great present is making them comfortable so they can be as adorable as they are.
Yes! Such a good mommy outlook. Making them comfortable makes them adorable AND happy little babies.
I know some parents who swear by Boudreaux’s Butt Paste! I love the Steam Bags idea!
Yes, the butt paste is worth every penny. Works like a charm.
Diaper rash is the WORST! Both of my boys have had it and they were miserable! A good diaper rash cream is a MUST!
Oh yes, and it can pop up quickly from so many various things. Definitely a must!
