As nurse I would suggest that you don't used alcohol as it is very drying. Warm water and mild soap should do it. Yes vaseline is great as is Bag Balm and other emollients put on immediately to seal in the moisture When you use these products you may find the poops are looser if your baby is a licker. If the cracks are really bad, before you go to bed (I'm assuming you baby sleeps with you) put little on his paws and put little socks over them. I hope he is better soon.
