Vaseline is used as a barrier cream to prevent diaper rash, it won't hurt but it isn't a great cure for it. Use Sudocrem or Caldesene which are both available in most stores.

I have a 10 day old baby. He has developed a rash. I am breast feeding. What could be the cause of the rash?

Sometimes babies get a "milk rash" on their faces/neck. All 5 of my kids had it at one time or another. Twice a day take a cotton ball with warm water and clean the face and neck area. It should clear in a few days. Be very gentle and don't rub. Pat dry with more cotton balls. Also, if it is a diaper rash, while newborns are this little, their hineys are so sensitive, I also used cotton balls and warm water to clean them up in their diaper area too. It is possible that a rash in the diaper area could be a yeast infection and not just a diaper irritation, so if it doesn't look like it is clearing in a few days, you can try calling your dr. A yeast infection in a newborn/baby looks like red bumps.
