Yesterday I got a call from DCP at 11. Normally I go feed her at lunch at 12. She called asking if I could go feed her NOW. So, I did. I got there, she was super upset... I tried to feed her... she wouldn't eat, too upset.
I walked her around and sang to her, that helped enough to get her to eat a tiny bit but even after she calmed down, she would go back to fits of the sad hyper-ventalating (sp?) crying. Then I noticed she pooped. So I changed her diaper. She had a rash and was freaking out on the changing table when I wiped her. I felt TERRIBLE. She wouldn't calm down and I took her home... still not sure if it was her diaper rash, her teeth (she's cutting 2 big ones), if she had an ear infection... I.had.no.clue.
I gave her naked time, she did better. Anytime we'd go to the changing table, she'd freak out. I was able to stuff a burp rag (prefold) in a pair of training pants and put her down for a nap.
Lots of naked time and the rash was still bad... this morning, it's a bit better, but I feel so bad for her tushie (among other things).
Oh, what we used... bath, followed by air time, lotramin then desitin. It worked pretty well, but there's still some there. I'm hoping it clears up today... we shall see. I was this.close to going out and buying cloth diapers...
Re: :( my poor baby's butt!
aww poor Jenna AND poor mommy!!
my ILs would wash C's tushie when it starts getting red instead of using wipes..plus we use aquaphor and that's been great for him...
HTH
Poor J - hope it clears up soon! You might try Triple Paste - it was recommended by M's pedi and has worked wonders clearing up any little diaper rash M had very quickly.
