You want to change your baby more frequently when he/she has diaper rash. You should only use diaper cream with zinc when your baby has diaper rash. If you use it regularly, it becomes less effective. You can use the cornstarch/ baby powder for prevention or a cream with lanolin only.As far as the cornstarch vs baby powder question, I feel that cornstarch is more absorbent then the talc in baby powder.

However, you shouldn't use it when your baby already has diaper rash. It can sting and irritate her skin.
