The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Baby Bottom Butter (Diaper Rash Soother)

3 oz. palm shortening
1 oz. coconut oil
1 oz. zinc oxide, sifted

Melt the oils over med. low heat.  Cool until solid.  Use a stick blender and beat until fluffy.  Beat in sifted zinc oxide powder.

This makes a baby butter that is 20% zinc oxide by weight.

It never occurred to me that I could make a diaper rash cream until I ordered some from Renee at MadeOn Hard Lotion.  I found a recipe and changed it up to use ingredients I am familiar with using.  I LOVE this diaper cream.  It has worked so well on Jonathan.  This is great stuff!  I have so much fun finding new things to make for our family that don't contain a bunch of ingredients that are bad for us.  I encourage you children to do the same for your families.
Love Always,
Mommy
