Prevent teething diaper rash with diet?

DavezWife

Ava gets a NASTY red diaper rash just before she pops a tooth. She gets miserable.

Is there anything DIET -WISE you've notice helps? I can usually see it start, and slather the creams on... but would love the secret to preventing it in the 1st place.

Harmon has that same CURSE.  I just can't stand it, that poor little man gets runny diarhea 10-12 in a day.  Sometimes it is so bad all I do is Pedialyte but that doesn't even help.  Bananas and dry toast are constipating but it hasn't fixed it.  GL!

Acidic foods can make diaper rash worse. That's why many babies don't even get raashes much until they start foods. (This was the case for DS. It was like clockwork.) Unfortunately, DS loves acidic foods like applesauce, oranges, grapefruit, tomato sauce... I use a lot of Desitin!

While my son loves them I try not to do a lot of tomatoes many days in a row... one or 2 meals and we're ok but compounding it really isn't great... also oranges tend to do the same, but they aren't as well liked which is good for us!
