Bottoms up
Poor Jack has the worst diaper rash.
It's bright red and he screams every time we have to change his diaper.
Tomato sauce in his food recently? Check.
Increase in dairy products? Check.
Teething? Check.
So who knows what the cause is. Could be any of those. Could be all of those. Could be none of those. We're changing him as soon as we know he needs it and we're slathering on the diaper cream. We're even switched to the A&D ointment instead of the cream because it stays on better.
That's when you know we're serious because the ointment SMELLS y'all. He smells like medicine. Why is it the ointment stinks and the cream is nonscented?
All I know is that he keeps peeing on the floor because we have to let him run around without a diaper on.
This is what I have been reduced to discussing. The state of my kid's ass. My God I hope something interesting happens next week so I have something to talk about. Well, that is, other than the puddles on my hardwood floor.

My daughter had the same thing last weekend. It sounds odd, but if you use a blowdryer on their butt, it helps dry out the rash. And it cuts down on the time you have to let them run around with the diaper off :)
We also gave my daughter several baths with oatmeal, which helped the rash and kept her occupied.
Oh, and using wet paper towels or a wet washcloth instead of wipes made her scream less when we changed her. I eventually gave in and made my own wipes, since she hated the other ones: http://www.attachmentmoms.com/baby-homemade-wipe.html
Sorry for the long post! I remember how frustrated we were last weekend when this happened, so I hope some of these things work for Jack! :)
By the way, I love the new website! I've been passing the link on to friends :)
Poor Jack! I hope his bum is feeling better soon.
We mixed boudreau's butt paste w/ Mylanta when Ethan was a newborn and his butt was so red and shiny, it could have guided Santa's sleigh (if they had some place to be in mid-May)...
My 14 month old has a horrible rash as well. We avoid tomato already but I think I have it pinned on oranges. Those damn citris fruits! lol
I hope Jack's butt gets better!
