HELP NAPPY RASH CAUSING US BOTH TO CRY!!!!
My LO - 15 months was a bit unwell recently - viral infection - then 6 weeks later - runny nose and cough - but dr told us to just give his saline solution for nose - cough syrup and let him fight it
Now 2 weeks later - yesterday - after a playdate - he had diarrhea - Its just one thing after the next!!!
I normally change his diapers asap - his facial expressions usually let you know what he is doing - or you get the smell!!!!
Yesterday - he does his business starts crying - when i open the diaper to change i noticed a red bum - so i apply mustela nappy rash cream (Ive had it for a while - never needed it before- and thought its ok to use cos theres no expiry date on the tube)
But each time i try to wipe his bottom or wash it - he starts crying like he is in serious pain!
(i usually use wet wipes but with some fresh warm water, or just take him to the bathroom and wash up then use a towel to dap dry)
This morning the redness seemed to ahve gone but now its back - not just red but red and swollen
each time i change the diaper he cries!!!!!!!
Now after the last diaper change he cried and cried and now asleep on my chest!
What am i doing wrong ????
I started using pampers a week ago - but they really not good - feel they not as absorbent as huggies
Could this be it - or maybe he has a bug or some sort ???
Yesterday he was biting everything and i can feel new teeth just under the surface
I wanna run back to the dr and make sure everything is ok with my bub - even tho i know i will get the - your a first time parent look !
but no car till DH gets back this evening
Anybody else deal with nappy rash
What do i do ?
Sorry for long post - but i just dont know what to do
nappy cream, back to huggies or just run back to dr?
