mmm me too hideous - the preparations you can get are suitable for babies under two - but only when prescibed by a doc - you shouldnt be able to get the over the counter ]]> Fri, 23 Apr 2010 09:49:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32986&PID=1004289&title=itchy-bum#1004289 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32986&PID=1003876&title=itchy-bum#1003876 Author: catisla

the doc gave us some medicine for DD when she had them (she was about 14 months if i remember rightly) - they don't really look like worms - more like tiny little threads - they don't come out and smirk at you or anything too sinister]]> Thu, 22 Apr 2010 18:16:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32986&PID=1003876&title=itchy-bum#1003876 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32986&PID=1003788&title=itchy-bum#1003788 Author: Bizzy

you can get worming tablets/suspension liquid or chocolate pieces from the chemist.
im not sure is they are applicable for an 8month old though]]> Thu, 22 Apr 2010 15:52:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32986&PID=1003754&title=itchy-bum#1003754 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32986&PID=1003698&title=itchy-bum#1003698 Author: mummymonster

What do you give a baby for worms?
I've got a vauge memory of having worm tablets as a kid, but that was primary age.
Is it a chemist or a Dr thing?]]> Thu, 22 Apr 2010 14:54:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32986&PID=1003698&title=itchy-bum#1003698 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32986&PID=1003574&title=itchy-bum#1003574 Author: Chickoin

They come out to investigate? So little white things would crawl out of his bum?

He is at daycare, so I guess he could pick up worms.
I also tried a different brand of nappy this week, so I guess it could be that.
I'm not sure about the specific area, and I'll take a closer look at his next poo (yay )]]> Wed, 21 Apr 2010 21:18:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32986&PID=1003131&title=itchy-bum#1003131 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32986&PID=1002786&title=itchy-bum#1002786 Author: Bizzy

Is it the general area or ahhhh the specific ummm 'you know what' that he is scratching? DS gets dry / irritated skin on his bottom cheeks / between thighs and bottom etc and just needs a dose of heavy duty moisturiser to sooth the area - it never actually looks dry or sore but it obviously annoys him at times. ]]> Wed, 21 Apr 2010 07:31:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32986&PID=1002130&title=itchy-bum#1002130 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32986&PID=1002025&title=itchy-bum#1002025 Author: catisla

The clichéd itchy bum thing is worms.

DS seems to have an itchy bum. He keeps screwing up his face and grabbing at his bum - itchy is the only thing I can think it could be. He doesn't even have nappy rash at the moment.

Any ideas what it could be, or what I could do about it?]]> Tue, 20 Apr 2010 20:15:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32986&PID=1001913&title=itchy-bum#1001913
