    Well we were having a great morning until DD's dad asked to come get her before lunch. Boo on him. DH lovingly calls him DumbAss. There goes my nice Sunday Funday with my biggest LO.

    We are going for regular walks and I'm building both our strength by just carrying him the whole time. So far so good. Glad it has been overcast here a lot

    Hey ladies, DH found a cool new app that can show you what your baby is seeing (basically you point it at stuff and it shows it to you like your LO will see it based on their birth date). In case you are curious: https://www.bostonmagazine.com/health/blog/2015/06/17/babysee-infant-vision-app/?sf38722540=1

    So fun! I got the app, but can't get it to show me anything....just a black screen. DD is four days old; my sister said maybe she can only see black. I said I don't think so?!!

    Hmmm make sure you allowed it access to your phone camera, maybe?

    So tonight we were going to try having LO sleep in his crib and we went to set up our audio monitor and put the wrong batteries in it and we fried it. I just ordered a new one... I think we are both a little sleep deprived and it looks like LO will be sleeping in our room a few more nights.

    It's so dark and blurry! LO is 12 days old. I feel bad now that, that is what she sees! Lol

    @KonaCoffeeBean I don't know how you're putting up with all that. Maybe you could tell DH to kick them out? I hope things get better soon.

    What are you using on the changing table? My boy pees all over everything just when I've gotten him cleaned up, every. time.

    We are using cloth diapers to lay him on, and washing about 10-15 of them a day. Is this madness? Is there a better way?

    Also, what are you using to dry baby's bottom after wiping?

    Lots of waterproof liners! They don't look like liners, they come in different colors and we have stocked up because we are having same problem ... The actual changing table cover is so nice... But have to always have a liner on top.. So you can just put liner in laundry and lay down a new one (so stock up) ;)

    For the changing table I use chux pads since they're disposable. Similar to the ones at the hospital but I get the smaller size, I think it's the one used for pets :)

    To dry baby's bottom I just use a dry cloth wipe.

    Using waterproof liners over here too.

    Our boy likes to pee all over the place too and a friend gave us the tip to cover his penis with toilet paper while cleaning his bottom. You have to hold it on there but it actually works once you get the hang of it. The pee soaks into it and you just toss it in the trash/toilet (or disposable diaper) with the wipes. We keep a roll of TP on the changing station but reuse if he doesn't pee on it. We've cut laundry down like crazy.

    DD poops constantly and now has a bad raw rash. Idk what to do!! I've tried coconut oil, butt paste, desitin, and using only wash cloths and water to wipe her. As soon as she's clean she's pooping again. I just want to cry for her.

    Poor baby! Mine has had a few bad ones already too. Maybe try leaving her diaper off for a little bit (maybe some naked tummy time on a yoga mat) and let her bum get some fresh air (outside in shade if weather permits).

    A friend of mine just told me about resinol that's behind the pharmacy counter at Walmart. You just have to ask for it. I'm going to have DH pick that up tonight after he gets off work. She still has her cord stump so I'm afraid to put her on her belly, but that does sound like a good idea.

    I will try to let her air out. I'm so hormonal still though that I have the ac cranked and her swaddled. Maybe it's just the Arkansas heat.

    @SammeMotley I don't know if you've tried it yet but I use California Baby Diaper Area Wash. I spray it on then use a small cloth to wipe. Using the wash plus a diaper ointment helped my LO with his rashes.

    @CillyMama where would I find that at?? This is my third child, but first girl and I didn't have this trouble with my boys. They also weren't breastfed.
