Looking for Advice on Infant Skincare

My 5 month old daughter is very chubby and has very red, chaffed skin on the back of her knees. I'm sure it's because her legs are so chubby, but I can't find anything that helps it. I've tried Aquaphor, Vaseline, A&D, baby oil - nothing works. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!!

Desitin Makes Her Scream

My daughter (7 mos) is on an antibiotic that the doc told me would probably give her diarrhea...well it did and now her little bottom is all red. I put desitin creamy on it yesterday and she started screaming and kicking, so I wiped it off and she stopped. Then I used cornstarch powder instead. Today I have been using aquaphor, but then I decided to try the desitin again just in case it was a fluke..it wasn't, she screamed and kicked until I wiped it off. I've been putting aquaphor on it again, but she is stll all red. Has this ever...

What Products to Use for an Infant Who Has a Rash

Hi I was wondering what products many of you recommend for an infant (2 month old) who has a very bad sandpaper like rash all over her body. Her back is actually peeling today since her skin has been so dry. I did take her to her Pediatrician who ruled out any illness. He stated it may be sensitive skin or she may be having a reaction to a food that I am eating as she also has very bad reflux along with it. I use dreft detergent on all clothes/linens that come into contact with her. I use Eucerin on her skin which does seem to help a...

Getting Desitin Out of Clothes

Does anyone have any tips for getting Desitin (the ointment) out of clothes? I was diapering my son on my lap last night (because he was in pain from the rash) and ended up getting it all over my pants - cotton - and can't seem to get it out. I really like the pants, so don't want to have to throw them out. Thanks!

Desitin Diaper Cream

I have used Aveeno diaper cream on my daughter since birth with no problems. But when she got a rash it didnt seem to do much to heal so on rashes I used Destin. Well aveeno can be hard to find so I switched to Destin full time and I noticed my daughter crys when I change her diaper and put the cream on. Almost like the cream is burning her. She also messes with her self alot more when I change her like something her. Has this happened to anyone else?

Natural Remedies for Red, Itchy Rash

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...

Diaper Rash! What Do You Do When Desitin Doesn't Work?

Do you have any remedy recommendations for a nasty diaper rash? The skin is broken in the size of a quarter on one little butt cheek, pink everywhere else. My 20 month old will not sit down, and constantly complains. He has just cut 4 teeth, and is not so pleasant, but oh, so very cute, and wonderful. He is a doll most of the time!

Early Potty Training

I have a 16 month old son that continiously keeps getting yeast infections in the diaper area. After 6 months of struggling with this, the doctors just tell me that this nightmare is not going to be over until he's out of diapers. I want to start potty training buy I don't even know where to start. I have read previous postings on this web site but it seems like a lot of information and I don't know what method to follow. When I research online I get a million answers too. Should I start by buying a potty or a training seat for the toilet?...

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...

Change of Plans

I just found out yesterday that I'm pregnant. My husband and I have a 10 month old and were planning on waiting another year before trying. Of course, what's done is done but I'm a bit anxious about having kids this close together. The oldest will not even be 1.5 years old! I know plenty of people have had babies closer than that, but for me it's a bit overwhelming. Does anyone have any words of wisdom? I believe that God's timing is perfect, but I guess I'm still not feeling that it's perfect right now.
