Up and down the aisles we went, scanner gun in hand, without a clue as to what we needed for the little one. We had so many questions. What do those numbers on the diaper boxes mean? Why are there so many different types of blankets? What are the multi-uses of multi-use pads? As we struggled through the store for nearly three hours, the intercom played a greatest-hits of mind-numbing pop songs. The whole experience started to feel like a trip to the dentist's, except you're not stuck in a chair, and the drill goes directly into your brain.
And that's how we ended up registering for something called "Baby Butt Smooth Ointment." It's made by a company called Boudreaux, which proudly boasts to also be the maker of "Baby Butt Paste." We're not exactly sure what it's for, but at least we know where it goes.Those people at Boudreaux, they apparently don't like to sugar-coat the type of product they have. They thumbed their noses at the Snoozy's, Boppy's, and Huggies of the world. They don't need a cute name like "Goodbye Itchies" or "Bottom Sunshine." Nope, BUTT PASTE works just fine, thank you very much. In my daze, I was actually impressed with the direct nature of Boudreaux's products, and almost registered for the whole product line.
Instead, though, we decided to not go with the Butt Paste, and register for only the Baby Butt Smooth Ointment. We figure we'll give it a try, and if we like it a lot, maybe we'll ask for a Butt Paste gift basket for Christmas.

Wow, I feel as if I'm really missing out on the whole child rearing thing. With a product like "Butt Paste" needed... it must be an incredible experience.
not trying to be too secretive here, i must confess, i am "anonymous" (i was too quick on the enter button)
I must say that we also have fallen victim to the intriguing advertising that "butt paste" provides, however Destin - original is definetly the best!
And if your child tends to have "lizard" type skin like ours - Aquaphor is a lifesaver.
Not sure if you made it to the stroller section yet, but the "snap and go" is great. The car seat just clicks in and you are ready to go. When you do look at strollers, make sure you look at the size of the basket underneath, it ends up being very helpful when you go out in the world!
