Remedies for Infant Congestion

Out little 6 month old is badly congested. She breathes and sounds like there’s a whole slew of mucus in her chest. It came after a cold where she had a runny nose. Then she caught another cold (the by product of our travels to Cairo and Amman), and this stuffed up her nose. For two weeks she’s been blocked and breathing with discomfort. As expected, it worsens at night and she is having trouble falling asleep. She wakes once or twice for a feed, maybe because when she’s swallowing her blocked system clears just a bit and offers her...

Rash on 6 Month Old's Bottom

Our six month old has a rash on her bottom. We noticed a small couple of spots so started putting on A&D Ointment and change her every couple hours, whether really wet or not...(more frequently if needed...) and everyday the rash has gotten worse. We haven't really changed her diet, but she is fighting a cold and teething. We did (on recommendation of her ped)give her some plain yogurt about 5 days before the rash appeared. Since then, I have only given her cereal, formula and baby food that she is used to. Do you think she could be...

In and Out of the Hospital with 13 Month Old

I have a 13 month old son who has had lots of problems with asthma. The first time he was hospitalized for it he was only 7 weeks old and it has been an on going battle ever since. For the past month and a half now we have been in and out of children’s hospital and it took them until this past Wednesday to finally figure out what was wrong. It turned out that he has a sever sinus infection and from all of the steroids that he has been on it shut down his immune system and caused it to spread to his lungs. I feel like everytime we are in...

Baby Will Not Take Pacifier

Hi, I am wondering if there are other mothers who have gone through the same situation as me - I am breastfeeding my 7 week old son, and he likes to get his comfort sucking from me. We have tried all of the available pacifiers on the market multiple times and he will not take any of them. We have tried dipping the tips of pacifiers in my milk, his A&D vitamins, and we can't get him to take them. Sometimes, he will take our pinky and suck on it. We introduced the bottle when he was 2 weeks old, since his pediatrician gave us OK and our...

Son Is Constantly Scratching His Face

My son, who just turned 5 last week, is constantly scratching his face. He has no rash and we have tried allergy medicine and lotion, but it hasn't helped. He is a very laid back kid, but we're wondering if it might be some kind of nervous habit. He seems to have a pattern to how he scratches his face. He starts with his forehead, then nose, then above his lip, then his chin and then he starts all over again. He can't keep his hands still and away from his face for more then a few seconds. It seems to itch more when he's relaxing like...

Cloth Diapering Advice Needed

I have been happily using pocket diapers but mistakingly used diaper rash ointment with them. Now the diapers repel any wetness from my baby and I am trying to "strip" them of any residue. I have washed them in hot water many times but they still don't absorb anything. I have already invested in a lot of money and want to save them. Does anyone know what I can do? Also, can I use any barrier cream with the prefolds?

My 21 month old boy has this large red rash on his bum/lower back. It started out small and didn't bother him and it was getting better but just this morning I got him out of bed and it is much worse and he is itching it now. The red areas are slightly raised and some areas are peeling. We are letting him run around with out his diaper as much as possible and we use Seventh Generation diapers so I know it isn't a sensitivity to his diaper. So, far we have just been using Earth's Best diaper rash onitment. I am wondering if any one has...

Baby Is Sick

My daughter is almost 4 months old and she has diarrhea. I know that there is not much that I can do for her but does anyone have any suggestions. I bf so I am trying to feed her a little more often to keep her hydrated. She is not crying all of the time or anything just wondering what I should do. I am changing 2-3 messy diapers an hour sometimes more. She is getting a horrible diaper rash so I am hoping to remedy this quickly. Thanks.

Help Please ! I Am Miserable with Some Kind of Infection - but What Kind Is It ?

Help please ! I am miserable. Something is really wrong. About 6 months ago, I began itching - only symptom - down around the outer vagina, vulva and anus area. I figured it was an irritant from shaving. It continued for another month or so. I then assumed it was the soap I was using. So I switched soaps. It continues and worsens. After more than a month of suffering, I get some Vagisil. That helps for about a day ! Still perplexed, I am still suffering. It was 3 months after the onset and I made a doctor appointment with my...

Diaper Rash with Bumps?

My 21 month old has developed a bad diaper rash today. It is little red bumps and she says it itches. Is this a yeast infection? she does not have a discharge. I use A&D ointment on her but this does not seem to be helping. We battle diaper rash any time I introduce something new. She had one two weeks ago because I thought I could switch her to lactose-free milk from soy but that did not work so we are back to soy. i have been adding some chocolate mix to it so she would drink more milk. Maybe that is it. Any one had this happen to their...

4 Year Old Potty Trained W/diaper Rash????

My son has allergies and sensitve skin. He has gotten some pretty nastey diaper rashes in the past. He's been potty trained for almost 2 years. But frequently he complains of his butt itching and begs me to Whipe him (and i don't do more than necessary). His butt area around his anus gets very red and sometimes there's teeny tiny bit of blood when he whipes... from that skin. We thought maybe he wasn't doing a clean enough job himself so we do the 'finishing touch'. Now we are considering the desposable whipes but i'm fearful it has to...

Causes of Diaper Rash

Hi! My son recently turned one and has started having problems with developing diaper rash. Up until now, we haven't had too much of a problem with this but recently it has become an ongoing issue. I always change his diaper as soon as I know that it is soiled so I don't think this is the issue. I have talked to his peditrician about what could be causing the flare ups and was told that it could be a reaction to something that he is eating. He informed me the only way to find out which food was causing the reaction was to start all...

Two Month Shots

My son had his two month shots three days ago and he is still acting very fussy and he is having a hard time taking naps during the day. Is it normal for him to be still reacting to his shots this long after having them? He seems to want to be held 24-7 which is VERY unusual for him. And he is 16.8 lbs already so he is hard to hold for that long. Could this be a reaction to the shots?

Trying to Break Daughters Habit of Licking Her Mouth, It's So Chapped and Red

My daughter is 3 years old. She has developed this habit of licking all around her mouth. It's all red and chapped all the way around! We keep telling her to stop licking when we see her doing it. But she doesn't even relize when she is doing it. Is there something I can put on her that will protect the chapped area, maybe keep her from licking, but that isn't toxic if she licks it? Is A&D cream, petroleuim and lanolin, going to make her sick if she licks that? Maybe something that tastes bad so she will break the habit. Help! She...

Getting A&D Ointment off Clothes, Hair, and the Smell Out of the House

My adorable 2 1/2 year old niece just emptied an entire tube of A&D ointment on herself. While mom and dad were talking in the other room, she squeezed it out and rubbed it all over herself - from head to toe. Dad gave her a bath and washed her hair, but my sister says that her hair is still really greasy and gross. Her clothes are stained. Also, the smell is so strong that when you walk in the house, you are immediately hit with it! Anyone have any recommendations for my sis? How do we get my niece's hair clean again? Any ideas to...
