Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Debbie, Poor baby! All I can say is, OUCH! Wish I could help, but I thought Desitin would do the trick!

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Debbie, I can VERY much relate to your problem. has had some KILLER diaper rashes. Even though she is off formula I still give her Isomil Diarhea formula when the problem is severe. You can also go with the BRAT diet. B=Bananas, R=Rice, A=Apples, T=Toast (did I get that right for those of you who know about this?). As far as diarhea medicine most peds won't really recommned any. I have spoken with a pharmacist about diarhea meds and he said we could give some Immodium. Check with the pharmacist about dosage. OK, for the rash here is what we would do. Avoid diaper wipes because of the alcohal or buy the kind with aloe. A warm wet wash cloth is better. You can use a small amount of triple antibiotic cream since the rash is severe, but only three times a day. I used the antitiotic cream on the really bad spots and then covered the whole bottom with butt paste and then even a layer of vaseline to really seal out moisture. Watch for a yeast infection - small white looking bumps. If this occurs then you can use a anti-fungal cream topically (like Mycelex or something like that) and that kills the problem quickly. Oh, Pampers makes a Rash Relief diaper that we used only when the rash was really bad. Whew - that was a lot of information - probably more then you needed!! Poor Abby - I always feel SOOOO bad when has a bad rash!! :-( Here's hoping for a speedy recovery. Marci (Mom to ) Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Marci, What is butt paste? You mentioned vaseline later, so i know that's not it, so now I'm really interested (interested in butt paste, man has my life changed ) ' Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Debbie: Take her off of milk until the diarrhea goes away. Slippy-doo's can flush out the little bacteria that take care of lactose in our digestive systems - then the diarrhea doesn't quit because the body becomes temporarily lactose intolerant. As for the rash, you might want to get it checked. It may be a yeast infection. My niece gets it all the time (poor thing). A little Canestin will do the trick. Good luck! Poor Abby!

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Hmm, I just go to the pharmacy and ask for butt paste and that is actually what the packaging says!! It is not over the counter. The pharmacist has to prepare it for you. It is some good stuff. It is kind of light brown in color and has a consistency kind of like Desitin. That is pretty much all we use for diaper rash! Marci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Okay Debbie here is an old folks remedy for diarrhea, My mom uses it all the time. Don't know if you have access to them but, you take a tortilla and let it almost burn on the stove and then you soak in water and make a tea out of it. My mother did give it to my niece when she was a baby and it helped...Good luck...wishing lil Abby poo a speedy recovery.

Poor Abby - I always feel SOOOO bad when has a bad rash!! :-( Here's hoping for a speedy recovery. Marci & all: That was not way too much info Marci, thanks a lot, I need all the help I can get. I did put one coat of Neosporin on the really bad spot this morning. I wonder if those rash guard diapers help, that's all my friends use on their son & he's never had much trouble w/rashes. Abby had this exact problem at this exact same time last year - then her diarrhea lasted one month, holy cow, it was aweful too, she blew out of her diapers then (not yet now, knock on wood), I threw away so many onesies (I didn't feel like rinsing them & stuff, it wasn't worth it to me!! hehe). I did give her the Isomil DF last year too. Maybe she doesn't like November??? I appreciate everyone's input. Dr. did say I could give her 1/4 tsp of children's kaeopectate a day, here's hoping something helps my peanut . Thanks so much!!!

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2001 Report Share Posted November 10, 2001 I do not know much about what you can do about the poops but, I have a few ideas about the rash. I used a cream mixture of fresh aloe(squished out of a plant) and I mixed it with J & J rash cream. It helped alot when Livia had a weeping case of regular diaper rash. Airing out her poor bottom is a very good idea as well. If you have a plastic tablecloth, put it out on the floor and lay her down on it. Lay down next to her on the floor and maybe read her some stories to keep her still(?) . I used the tablecloth with Livia when she was just starting to crawl, but It might work on a toddler if you are really concerned about the carpet. If it is a yeast rash, you can ask your pharmicist for a cream for it. There is a cream that is less expensive than Canesten, but you have to ask for it. When Livia had the yeast rash, it went away in a few days after putting on the cream twice a day. Yeast rash is usually not painful for the baby, so if it is bothering her alot, then it could be something else. A face cloth(I use shop towells , disposable yet like a cloth) dipped in water mixed with baking soda for cleaning up the messy poops will also help sooth her bum, and is alot less harsh than using wipes. I hope this helps. And of course I have to mention how wonderful it is for your hubby to go out of town when Abby gets sick & grumpy! lol Did he time that great or what! I hope Abby is feeling much better soon. Anne ----- Original Message ----- From: dj2kirby@...
