My girls have Diaper-rash & Diarrhea. We've finally got the diaper rash under control thanks to a strict regimen of Desitin, triple anti-biotic ointment, a gazillion diaper changes - and finally, Children's Pepto Bismol Chew Tabs flavored like watermelon.
It's been a long week. The girls love fruit and they love juice. We stopped so much of those things and they were still having yucky-bum. So, we decided to call the pediatrician and see what they knew - years of college sometimes has more info, ya know. They were just concerned about appetite and hydration. Gave a few tips for diaper changes - no wipes, use gause and baby oil instead, blah blah. Also, let their bums soak twice a day.
It still wasn't helping. I was so frustrated. The girls were miserable. Finally, Ryan decided it was time for Pedialyte and he was right. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thank goodness for Ryan!!
We also decided to buy the girls some chewable Pepto Tabs just to kick start the process. We really should have tried the medicine route a few days ago. The girls have done so much better since we gave them real medicine instead of just cutting back certain foods.
Poor Chloe's little bum was the worst rash we've ever had. EVER! But we are finally on the healing side of the situation. YAY!
