Desitin Makes Her Scream

My daughter (7 mos) is on an antibiotic that the doc told me would probably give her diarrhea...well it did and now her little bottom is all red. I put desitin creamy on it yesterday and she started screaming and kicking, so I wiped it off and she stopped. Then I used cornstarch powder instead. Today I have been using aquaphor, but then I decided to try the desitin again just in case it was a fluke..it wasn't, she screamed and kicked until I wiped it off. I've been putting aquaphor on it again, but she is stll all red. Has this ever...

Skipping the Bedtime Bath Routine

My son has a little spot of eczema on his face so from the advise I have seen out there I shouldn't bath him everyday. Unfortunately he loves his night time routine which includes his relaxing bath. I have stopped using any kind of soap directly on his face, but I can't stop him from splashing, dunking his face, and puting soap bubbles on his face. Anyone have any suggestions on what to substitute with on the non-bath nights? He has been doing so well with going to bed with a regular night routine I am afraid to break the routine, but I...

Hand Foot and Mouth

My son was just diagnosed with Hand Foot and Mouth and I am reaching out to all you moms who have had a child with this. Between the internet and the Dr. and neighbors and family, I am getting confused about how long it is supposed to last, how contagious it is, and when it would be safe for him to be around other kids. The Dr. told me it's fine just as long as they don't share sippy cups because it is transmitted through saliva. The internet is saying that the blisters will open and the fluid inside is what contains the virus and at...

Odor/product Removal Suggestions, Please!

I have two questions. The first: I walked in on my daughter (1-1/2 years old) as she was playing with the big tub of Aquaphor and it was all over her, her furniture, clothing etc. I cleaned most of it but there are large patches of it smeared into a 100% wool area rug. I tried to blot it out but no use. For those of you that don't know what Aquaphor is, it is similar in color and texture to Vaseline - maybe a little thicker. Is there anything I can do to get this out? The second question relates to a fabric handbag I bought on...

Sleep Advice Needed

I have a 6-month old that has never been a good sleeper. He has slept more than 4 hours only a handful of times & is currently waking up every 2-3 hours. He is breastfed but is a big boy (20 pounds) so food isn't the issue...I have stopped feeding him during the night (8pm-6am) for the last week but he is still waking up, sometimes for 2 hours or more. I just started him on solids, he is teething, has bad eczema, so i think all of these may contribute to his nightwakings. I have read Dr. Sears' Sleep Book, Elizabeth Pantley No Cry Sleep...

Nightime Problem with Diapers

My 2 month is sleeping great through the night now (7pm- 6am). However, we have a new problem. He just can't seem to make it through the night without his diaper leaking. His 13.5 lbs and we have recently tried the Pampers Baby Dry 12 hr diaper. We have used it for 4 nights so far, and 2 nights it worked and 2 nights it didn't. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Sleeping Through the Night and Diaper Changes

My 12 week old daughter suddenly went from sleeping from 8/9 pm to 12 am and every 2 hours thereafter religeously to sleeping from 8 pm to 6 am a couple of weeks ago. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the sleep, but I am concerned about the sudden progress as she's now going longer without a diaper change and eating less through the night. Is this normal? Should I wake her up after so many hours of sleep to change and feed her? I've asked my friends, but have not gotten any positive or negative feedback on it. They mostly...

Aquaphor & Mylanta for Diaper Rash????

I read in either Parents or Babytalk that you can use a mixture of Eucerin Aquaphor and Mylanta on diaper rash and that it works great. Has anyone ever tried this? I'm about at my wits end with a never ending diaper rash on my daughter. It will go away for a day or two and then comes right back.
