Since she was born, Gemma was lucky to not get diaper rashes. She has of course had a few bouts of just a little bit of redness around her bum, but not a rash per se. I don't know if it's this bout of teething or what, but she's got a bit of a diaper rash, the worst she's ever had. I say it's the worst for her, but it's not as THAT bad (i've seen worse on other babies). I try to give her plenty of diaper-free time during the day (resulting in many accidents - number one AND two!), but it seems to be pretty persistent. i am using our trusty old Aveeno diaper cream and all day today i've been using our cloth diapers.
I know Pampers has that issue with their Dry-Max giving chemical burns and while we do use Pampers, i bought out Walmart's supply of pre-Dry-Max diapers before they took them off the shelf. anyways, she didn't have this problem until just a couple days ago.
I'm really hoping it goes away soon. in the meantime, i guess i need to be better prepared with old towels and carpet cleaner!
Oh boo, diaper rashes! Annika has only ever had the one and it was HORRIBLE. We did bare bum time for 2 weeks and were using diaper cream and it just wouldn't go away. My clever husband figured out it wasn't just a diaper rash and we had to get an antifungal cream. It disappeared in 3 days. I felt like such a clueless mommy that I let it go on for so long. If the rash doesn't get better in 3 days with regular bare bum time and cream...it might be yeast!
