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.

What this could mean

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.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 160 babies. Breast milk may not be as effective as standard creams, and results may not apply to all babies or settings.
