Diaper rashes

Poor Kallie. She has had a HORRIBLE diaper rash lately that comes and goes. I have been trying to give her food but then she breaks out so I stop giving that particular food to her and then it seems to get better. When I start another food, it will break out a day or so later. UGH. I don't know what to do! This child is almost 7 months old and STILL hasn't had anything other than peas, sweet potatoes and apples, pears & bananas. I've actually cut out everything but the peas again. I'm thinking it's just a coincidence? I'll start putting more food back in her diet slowly and if the rashes persist, to the dr. we will go! Whitney had a lot of problems with Hailey when she was about this age so she told me a few things to do and get. I have been doing cloth a little and then got the Huggies natural diapers yesterday while at Target (which only reminds me of my decision to stick to Pampers- she pee'd out of the diaper last night!) Anyways, I also bought some of the extra strength Destin- it has really helped!


This morning she looked a lot better. Diaper rashes are horrible! 



And an update on Kallie- she is ALMOST crawling! She does a scoot and gets around really well. I'll video and post it soon. She is so cute and SO much fun!

Cover the Destitin with vaseline, it creates a better barrier and will keep her stool from getting to her skin. She has only has breastmilk and cereal so any 'foods' are going to change the acidity of her stool, causing breakdown. Fruits are far worse than veggies, so maybe you can stick to those for a while.

And we still have a lot of issues with HG. Some skin is just more sensitive than others. Like Pampers still turn her bottom raw but dang it, they have so many specials!! I hate it for you and Miss KG. Hg never ate fruits and still only eats 3 fruits. I did veggies Sometimes I think I am a bad mom and that is why she has bathroom issues.. From 6 -9M, seemed like the roughest time on her bottom. A million things 'helped" but it wasn't until Feb of this year when i found her perfect creation for her booty!!! And I eat tomato sauce again and I am in love!!
