Liam has severe diaper rash. Liam also poops 4-5 times a day, every day. These things have a causal relationship.
After consulting my preferred medical advisor (my mom) I am now forgoing the use of any kind of wipe and putting Liam in a bath at every diaper change in a last ditch effort to clean him without rubbing his skin to the point of bleeding (which has happened before). I am also applying various salves and balms with every diaper change. I then have to clean his tub–you know, to get the poop out. I have done this twice already today. The whole routine (minus the tub cleaning) takes at least half an hour. Liam thinks it’s fantastic–thank goodness he likes baths. I am not as amused. Fingers crossed that this works and I only have to do it for one day. At least tomorrow’s Friday and Matt will be home to help with this routine over the weekend.
Oh, the things we do for our children…
Hey, my sister swears by Happy Hiney which is formulated in pharmacy at the hospital where my dad works. If you want me to try to get a hold of some, I can certainly do it!
I have a meeting this weekend, so I can’t come home.
Matt–I’m going to ignore that.
Laurel–is there any way you could get someone to read you the ingredient list and send it to me? I think I might have just the pharmacist for the job…
