My Poor Baby Butt

Olivia still has diarrhea. I know its probably not the most pleasant thing to post about. Poor baby, her butt is getting so red I keep applying Boudreaux's Butt Paste each time I change her. Although, its getting to the point where she doesn't want me to change her because it hurts. I bought applesauce yesterday at the store like the nurse recommended, but she didn't like it. I am going to try again today. I am just worried because each time she eats she poops. But, the nurse said to call only if it lasts more than 10 days or there is blood. She goes to the doctor next Monday, I am hoping she will be better by then, but atleast I know I can talk to the doctor about it then. Please pray for her (and me) that she feels better soon.

Lastnight's dinner was a smash hit! He loved it. He said I made the steak perfectly and the potatoes perfectly and the ready made caesar salad perfectly. The cake is REALLY good too. Its very moist and I put the whippy icing on it YUM! We ate and were ready for Big Brother, which by the way, I LOVE DICK!

Poor baby. Try using Aquaphor - that stuff is awesome. Just slather a ton on her and I swear it will be gone by tonight. One time Gavin had diaper rash sooooo bad - his little butt was cracked and bleeding. Nothing worked until I tried Aquaphor - within just a few hours his rash was almost completely gone.

Oh I am glad Amy said that because i was about to say that the butt paste doesn't get rid of diaper rash. It is only to prevent the area from getting moist in the first place. I have that for Ben that his mom bought and when I try to clear up diaper rash it never works. I have to use Balmex, Destin or something FOR the treatment of diaper rash. Good Luck. I agree that it will only take a couple of treatments with something better.
I love the guy DICK too. Watch how you say that...ha!! I was laughing my butt off at himlast night. Oh crap he was funny. No one is as crazy about Big Brother as me so I am bummed. I could have educated convos about that show for hours if I had a partner. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Just an idea for you. When Cam was a baby, he would get diarrhea and a bad diaper rash everytime he cut new teeth. Also, make sure it'a a rash and not a yeast infection. If it's yeast, the only thing that will cure it is Lotrimin AF.

Thanks...I am going to use Aquaphor next time I change her. I am pretty sure its diaper rash, but how would I know if it was a yeast infection?

Aww, the poor baby! I bet it's from cutting teeth. My kids would get it too. Desitin works great! I have never heard of Aquaphor though - it sounds way better! I bet they didn't have that when my boys were babies. Keep us updated and let us know how her poor baby butt rash is. ;)

Oh poor baby!! I hope she feels better soon. The medicine will clear it up!!

I love Dick too. He is too funny. I love that he will do anything to get Daniele to stay. If Jen, Zach and Daniele vote to keep Dick and Eric has too, the Dustin would go home. FUN STUFF!!!

a yeast infection usually has a slight odor to it and it is very raised and is not lightened at all by cream. A diaper rash should improve a lot after each time you use one of the good creams

if dick stays, you will hear me screaming from your house

Carrie said...

Thanks Sonya!

You will hear me scream too! I like Dustin, but he is really dumb for being a pawn! I REALLY hope Dick stays and how awesome will that be if he wins HOH!

SamandSawyersMom said...

yeah but if you saw all the stuff i see, you might hate Dustin.. I really hate him (within the game of course)
i really doubt they can pull it off
