Help! 9 Runny diapers!

marriedchick06

Seriously 9 dirty runny diapers today is what we are up to with Carly! This is in a 7 hour period! Her poor butt is raw red! She is going to the pedi tomorrow for a follow up from her broncitis from 3 weeks ago but until then, wtf! I have been putting triple paste on her, but she is pooping so much I dont think the diaper cream can even kick in. She screams bloody murder when I change her. Right now I am letting her lay on the blanket butt naked to let it air dry. Any ideas/suggestions??

maybe rotovirus?

stomach virus that causes an insane amount of diherrea.  i think letting her air dry is the best.  be sure to keep her hydrated.  what did the pedi say to do in the mean time?

DS has been going through that off and on for weeks now. I think it's teeting because he's acting fine otherwise. His butt was exactly the same and his pedi recommended an ointment called Bag Balm. I found it in our local drugstore in the hand cream aisle in a green square tin. Looks similar to vasoline and smells a little yucky and it's original use was for cows/horses to prevent them from chapping in the wintertime. It worked AWESOME! Better than anything I ever used and he hardly cried when I used it - I don't think it burned like the cream did.

 Good luck! Hope she feels better!

for the diaper rash i can only think of using washcloths to wipe her and aveeno rash cream worked great on ds! besides that i guess just wait for the doc appointment see what he says.. i hope she feels better soon!! poor baby!! diaper rash and diarreah are not fun!!
