  • Teething can cause more drooling, which can be swallowed and cause extra runny poops and more rashes.

  • Yeah I've heard that too...

    Something about the excessive drool causes there to be more acid in the stomach which causes the diaper rash. Something like that...?

  • Yep, perfectly normal and to be expected. DD hasn't gotten them yet but she has only cut teeth twice so far. DS got them though. No worries!
  • this explains why we have the first diaper rash! Top teeth are busting at the seams. As if teething isn't bad enough, they have to have a sore tush too :-(

    they certainly get diarrhea from teething due to swallowing all the extra saliva and that, in turn, could cause a diaper rash. totally not unheard of.
