Nappy rash/Diahhorea (TMI)

Well, I'd say the rash is just because of the frequency of her poos... and the frequency of poos indicates that there is something going on there that is a little out of the ordinary... and that out of the ordinary might also be making her poos create the rash too.

If the poos are returning to normal-ish then I'd just do my best with the rash over the next few days to clear it. If it isn't clearing and the poos stay a bit strange then I'd take her to the doc. That's just me tho!

Hope it all clears soon! Can't be fun for either of ya

could it be thush just a thought if the wee pimples are white it could be just that

LOL at Nikki

I agree that the nappy rash is probably a frequency thing. Maya had diarrohea for about 3 mths continuously (allergy thing) and with it came constant nappy rash. I found using curash at every change helped.

Like evryone else said too I'd be more concerned about whats causing the diarrohea if it doesn't get better maybe a trip to the doc is on the cards.

Just what you need with a new bubs!

Sounds just about like Erin's thrush with the spots, and the pooping ! It has been hard to clear up, but I think we are finally onto it today after a second visit to the after hours GP

We have just had a week-or-so from hell with diarrhoea, nappy rash and testing positive for campylobacter. Anastasia had really smelly & regular naps and rash started up and just got worse, just after Jax had posted that Erin had thrush. I started with micreme H & zinc & castor oil which helped with rash but she was getting unsettled at night and off most of her food. So off to Dr and took the nappy from during the night incase sample needed. Dr said there has been a few cases around lately and that she had thrush as well but we were doing all that we could and just had to wait for test results to come back. Dr didnt want to give anything to stop diarrhoea incase of bowel perfferation we just had to wait it out. Lucky Im still breastfeeding so we didnt have to give her anything else apart from water, just very nackered from getting up 2 or 3 times during the night to settle.
Sorry so long, didn't mean to thread-jack. Good luck on it coming right soon

From the information they gave me ... "Campylobacter infection is caused by bacteria which are found in the gut of birds especially poultry, and animals such as cattle, sheep, cats and dogs. It is passed on in the faeces of infected birds, animals and humans" - been walking round the cows lately!?!?
"People become infected when they swallow the bacteria. This may be from contaminated water and food, or from contact with infected animals or humans."
Anastasia never got white spots leading to the thrush, just the raw patches of skin from what looked & smelt like "Acid Poo" (sorry tmi). Rash has settled now, just 3 dirty, normalish naps today.
Hope this is not what you have at home ... not very nice for littles

Oh Theresa and Kerryn - it sounds pretty miserable!  Yeah I'd be worried about thrush too - Micreme should clear it up, and my Doc has suggested using it on Ella's nappy rash even if I'm not 100% sure if there's thrush there or not but think there is.  Maybe a trip to the GP??  (I know, not exactly what you want when there's a newborn in the house). 

Its not "supposed" to but then every child is different. How long has it been now, is she still drinking pleanty? Is she still eating, seems happy (not a great indicator as the girls have to be really sick not to be happy). You could try getting her to eat some grated apple, see if that helps. Hard when they can't tell you what is going on aye.
Hope it lets up for you soon.

Hows it all going? Hope at least one thing has settled for you!!
