So - we're on day of Miss Molly being "off".....

First of all she keeps waking up around 6 AM. Totally out of character. She's always been a 7-7:30 girl, and when she wakes up earlier she always snaps back after three days max - until now. This AM she actually started stirring at 5:55. UGH. (I am NOT an early riser).

She's had on and off diarreah (sp?) More on than off since yesterday.

And she has not taken a full bottle the majority of her feedings since Sunday. She didn't eat a lot of table food last night at dinner, but daycare claimed she had a huge lunch. Unfortunately MOTY forgot to send food yesterday so I have no idea what they fed her - which stinks.

She's sleeping through the night and napping with no issues - but her overall demeanor is fussier than normal. She is not running any type of fever when I checked this AM.

I am thinking this has to be tooth number 7? but I am really not seeing anything. Could this be her 1 year old molars popping early? (she's 1 on 3/31). Can you see those? (sorry if it's a stupid question)....

I'm lost - any insight would be appreciated. I want my happy, sleeping in, pooping solid baby back

Oh and she also has one little spot of diaper rash on her butt that started Thursday and I can not for the life of me get rid of.

I vote teeth! Our dds sound identical right now! Early rising, eating less then more, little rash, very clingy....
A only has two teeth right now (1 year on 3/9) and her gums look like they are getting whiter and tighter.

Does her rash look like yeast? Try putting a dab of Lotramin on it-works great!

JBDamonM · February 2014

Not sure what yeast would look like - but it's red. Probably the size of a pea - and on the butt cheek - not the crack. (HAHAH - I can't believe I just said that.)

Lol. Yeast is usually red, raised and patchy. Sometimes you can see white dots or flecks in the rash. A seems to be prone to them unfortunately

If its not responding to other diaper rash treatments, I'd try an anti fungal. Lotramin (yup, for athletes foot!) can be used. It's off label, so the package will actually say 'do not use for diaper rash', but it's fine

use a little bit over the rash every 6 hours. The generic name is clotrimazole.

I vote teeth too. Hope she feels better soon!

Great advice! Thank you!

I'll have to look and see if it's raised or for white dots...

DDs yeast rashes almost never have white in them, so it can definitely vary! If you try the Lotramin (and it is yeast) it'll most likely look much better by the time you do her next diaper change. It's a beautiful thing!!

@kmc84 - any harm in just trying it anyways?

kmc84 · February 2014

Nope! It won't hurt anything.

JBDamonM · February 2014

Totally going to grab some and try it - thanks for the advice

really sounds like teeth to me. sometimes molars can be uncomfortable for weeks before they break through!
