 Topic: teething / rash / cloth / ointment?
Posted: 30 December 2006 at 7:45pm |
|
Ok, before I ask for advice I will mention that I am likely to be taking Erin to the docs on Tuesday (or earlier if it gets MORE inflamed) to get things checked out in case it's not just a teething thing...
But we've had a LOT of pooey nappies lately, and even in her Fuzzis Erin has nappy rash again and the nappy balm can only do so much to heal it before she poops again and it just keeps bothering her. I mean, that said, it doesn't seem to *really* be unsettling her - the teeth trying to come through is giving her more grief anyways.
I guess what I'm asking is that with the Fuzzis, I know there are only certain ointments and creams you can use, such as the Ecostore stuff... but is it OK to use anything else ??
*sigh* I'm really really really hoping this will pass, poor thing hasn't been a happy camper.

I don't know if this is ok to use with the Fuzzi's but when Andrew had a wicked rash we got a tube of Amolin(sp?) it cleared it up straight away and was very soothing. I could only find it at New World down here, so I would look there first if it is ok to use with the Fuzzi's. Its about $6 but you only need a little for it to work.

I think you can use anything so long as it's sparingly. Soaking in hot water afterwards would probably help too (the nappies that is).
My girls get that rash thingy with teeth, Hannah has had it the worst and even got it for her 2yo molars a few months back (and she's TT at day!). Poor girl. But the other thing that set it off for Hannah was Farex baby rice. (No allergies since though.) Just a couple of ideas for the cause.

Yeah, I suspect it's 99.9999999% likely to be the teeth, but I'm just wanting to be thorough I guess, since it's been a couple of days now. I really appreciate the advice though, that's what Oh Baby is SO wonderful for !

I have used tui bee balm, curash powder and bepanthen without coating my naps. You can use anything but if its one that doesnt absorb and just sits on the skin (like zinc and castor oil cream) then you can still use it, just use a liner as well. Hope that helps and that Erins bum clears up soon.

When Olivia is having her teething poo's I normally use Karicare Barrier (yellow pottle) cream to stop any acidly loose bowel motions scorching her skin. Next step up from that would be petrolium jelly. I only use a small amount though and I don't even use cloth  Good luck sugar pie

Bepanthen ! Ah ha ! Thanks Aimee That has worked really well for us before but I didn't know if it was OK to use with her Fuzzis (only needed a teeny amount as well).
And thanks again ladies... am sooo glad for the support.

Should be fine as long as its rubbed in to her skin well so it doesnt rub off onto the fleece.

Jax - when Caitlin had nappy rash we switched to warm wet flannels instead of wipes and also smothering her in the Eco Store nappy balm. Just so that when you change her you don't agrevate the sore.
Hope it clears up soon, her poor bum must be so sore

Yeah, my cheeky wipes still haven't arrived, but should be here this week - in the meantime I think I will have to do the flannels thing, thanks Toni

We had same problem with Ashlyn, she seemed to be prone to it after getting thrush from me with antibiotocs. It did get soo bad I took her to afterhours surgery with blotchy bleeding (poor wee bum) they didn't do much!! but the best thing I did use was mi-creme & when it got really bad mi-creme H (prescription) and then zinc & castor oil over top so the mi-creme could do its work. You can get a huge tub of zinc & castor oil cream on prescription from Dr so it doesn't cost. Good luck, its not very nice for the wee ones

Kez - thanks for the suggestions, but I do have to be careful what I use with Erin as she is in cloth nappies and not all rash / barrier creams are OK to use with cloth.
If she wasn't pooing so much I think the Ecostore balm would have a lot more time to kick in

no probs, although it could be risky ..... after she has had a good clear out maybe you could try leaving nappy off for a while, that also helped with Ashlyn and gave creams time to work, just have to watch that floor is protected incase of accidents
