NCT ID NCT07633808
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares using breast milk versus zinc oxide barrier cream to treat mild-to-moderate diaper rash in 160 babies aged 0-24 months. Nurses will teach parents how to apply the treatment and track healing over 7 days. The goal is to see if breast milk, a free and natural option, works as well as commercial creams.

- Active substance
- breast milk (topical) and zinc oxide barrier cream
- What this could lead to
- If breast milk works, it could offer a free, natural option for treating mild diaper rash, especially where creams are costly or hard to get.
