I'd prob use a bit of aloe vera if you have a plant lying around

i am thinking chamomile but not sure why, might be because of chalamine lotion or whatever its called lol

lavender is very healing, just add a few drops to her bath i wouldnt dab it on her neat but you can add it to the bio oil or to some olive oil/almond oil or something and use it as a massage type thing

oatmeal in a sock, then pop that into the bath water

oatmeal is meant to be very soothing, also good for nappy rash

I would second MummyKaya, aloe vera is a great natural moisturiser as well as a natural antiseptic with anti bacterial properities
