Chickweed: A wild food and diaper rash remedy

[priestscientist]

Hey to awnser your question about that. If there is a milky substance then that is not a chickweed. also check to see if there is a single line of hairs running up stem and when you reach the leaf then it will alternate to the other side of the stem. and also know that the older leaves has there own stems. The flowers are actually 5 petals in pairs of 2 petals.

Hi,

I have what looks like Chickweed in my garden. When you pick some you get a white, milky substance coming from the picked stem. Is that chickweed?

Best treatment for diaper rash is to avoid it, by washing baby's bottom at each diaper change. :)
