Little Miss Layla has been battling Rotovirus for a week and a half! Along with that she has gotten a super bad diaper rash. She would scream every time we changed her. It just broke Paul and mines heart to see her hurt. Her temp. also spiked up to a 101.6, but came down quickly with the help of Tylenol and a cold wash cloth to the head. One of the nights I called the Dr. and she gave me some great tips to help with her diaper rash. I wanted to share them with you! Maybe you will learn a new trick..
Mix Mylanta and your favorite diaper rash ointment together and apply liberally to bum. The Mylanta acts as an anesthetic, so their bum won't hurt as bad and also neutralizes the acid from the diarrhea.- Bake flour in the oven until you smell it, let it cool and apply to bum like baby powder. This also helps soak up the liquid and help keep the babies bum dry.
- If its a pretty bad diaper rash immediately stop using wipes. Some wipes have alcohol it and can make the rash worse. Every time your little one poos wash them off with just water and a rag! Let them air dry then apply diaper rash cream (the thicker the better). Hopefully your baby doesn't mind getting wet!
Despite all the baths she has been getting and the awful diarrhea Layla has been a happy child. It show in the pictures...
Cooling her down with the wascloth!
Having fun with my toy and being naked!
Silly girl
Still naked and loving it!
