At first I found the smell of the cream used to, but now I love it. In the day you have to watch something with it because the smell covered up other odors and thus a diaper sometimes too long remains on the Po. We use the cream when the Po is red (no pimples, so no thrush!) And with cloth diapers. Our mouse loves the Tube, because it bees. Is always good to distraction during winding because the Stoffis take yes a bit longer.
