Diaper Rash ?

My daughter got that nasty stomach virus that is going around and still is having diarrea(sp?). she now has a bad diaper rash bc of the diarrea, during the day I change her as soon as i know she has gone, but what she is doing is going at night and sleeping in it. I can tell bc it is all dried up on to her little bottom. I have been using desitin creamy and it seems to work ok but it keeps coming back. I am just wondering if there is anything else I can do or if I just have to wait it out?

Corn Starch vs Talcum Powder

Hello Mama's Yesterday I read a posted question looking for a certain brand of powder, in reading the answers one mother stated that talcum powder is bad for your health. So being a mama i went home to see if the dollar store version equivalent to shower to shower powder that i use has corn starch or talcum and it has both. So my question is what are the health concerns with talcum powder that i am not informed of. Thanks Mama's

Help, My Son Won't Take His Medicine!

Ben, 2 1/2, is on antibiotics for a possible staph infection on his cheek (again). I'm having the hardest time getting him to take his medicine. He wont take it willingly, he will just spit it out. I have to have him take it, else he will end up in the hospital like last year for 5 days on IV antibiotics. I've tried bribing him with lots of different candy, but he still wont take it. I've tried mixing it with applejuice, but he still tastes it and wont drink it. I've tried doing it very slowly while he is sleeping, but he will just...
