Help with Diaper Rash.

My 5 month old daughter has a horrible diaper rash. It is blood red and has what looks to be blisters that bleed. I have done everything I know to treat it, I have used vaseline, diaper rash cream, cream for a yeast infection everything I could think of. The only other thing I could think of is maybe she's allergice to the diapers. Any suggestions. I am going to take her to the dr on Monday but I was wondering if there was anything else I could do in the meantime.

I'm large-breasted and breastfeeding is such a big production between getting my position down, exposing the breast and propping baby. I'm not sure how to get all this done while in public (at a baseball game, the upcoming wine festival, etc.), and thought a sling...

Generic/store Brands That Are Good?

Are there any store brand or less expensive brand products that are at least as good or even better than the big brand names? I was recently pleasantly surprised with Luvs diapers, and Equate feminine pads. Are there any others you enjoy using?
