She could have a yeast infection and that ONLY gets better with prescription
cream....my baby girl is 15 months and she had one. Good luck!

Maybe dryness? Try a different wipe too. Wipe really well, even if the diaper seems to wick away the urine.

If you do NOT smell an odd odor coming from her when you are changing her diaper, put vaseline on her vaginal area before putting on the new diaper.

If it continues after changing wipes and using vaseline for 3 days... talk to her pediatrician.

Try fragrance free wipes and diapers. My son had a sensitivity to anything with fragrance (and still does).

My daughter started itching a few months ago & her ped told me to bring her right in. They tested her urine & it was a UTI. Itching was her only symptom. Antibiotics cleared it right up. Hope your lil one feels better soon!

See your pediatrician - babies can get cystitis and vaginitis.

Maybe a yeast infection? I would talk with the pediatrician and see what they say--- she sounds like she is itchy so maybe its yeast? Also, have you switched your detergent or soap you use when you bathe her? It could be that as well.
Best wishes,

Go see your doctor. It sounds like a yeast infection and regular diaper cream will not help. She needs a stronger medication. Changing diapers won't help either.
