Aquaphor Ointment, the "old" kind in the one pound jar (not the "healing
ointment" in the 1.75 ounce tube).  It's expensive (close to $20.00 for a
one pound jar), but it lasts practically forever and once they've tried it
parents swear by it.
I tried all the zinc oxide based ointments after our first daughter was
born and hated the smell and texture plus the fact that the stuff stays on
your fingers for hours afterwards!
