Kevinsmilfx2`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll Alright Ladies, I really need your help. Charlie is teething HORRIBLY right now, so much so that she is swallowing her drool and getting diarrhea from it. Well, the diarrhea is causing an angry, blistering rash. I also think her diapers (Pampers Cruisers) are causing an allergic reaction. I`ve been doing grapefruit seed extract diluted with water compresses on her, plus zinc oxide to follow and it just wont clear up. HELP!! I have no idea what I need for cloth diapering. I feel so helpless to help her. Any reccomendations?

all my kids were allegic to desitin and balmex but a&d ointment (they were allegic to zinc oxide)worked great, as for teething, my friend who has 9 kids recommended letting baby chew on a slice of raw onion(said it was an old mexican trick lol) and it helped my LO out

Air drying works best for our household. My MIL uses burn cream with Zinc but I have never used any diaper rash stuff...we just air dry...

My daughter had a terriable rash from teething, some parts also blistered and I thought that was normal and if I used the right diaper cream it would be ok...WRONG. I ended up seeing the dr about it and he put her on a zinc cream for the day and at night Advantan cream ( which is only prescibed, can not be bought over the counter) and seriously the next day after using it, the rash had disappeared and the blisters had gone down dramatacally, withinin 2 days the blisters were totally gone. Now I only have to use it when she is teething.

I know it might be a little scary but let her air butt air out. My son had terrible diaper rash due to salmonella. Our ped. told us to lay him down on his tummy without his diaper and let it air dry. It worked (on top of lots of diaper creme).

why the heck are you not using cloth dipes yet?? hehe Kara hasnt wore a diaper in a few weeks and the prefold and cover I used were ment to only catch a miss.. But thirsties covers are great.. prowraps are good cheeper covers... I dont know much about all in ones.. they were way to bulky for kara.

My mom used cloth diapers on me and whenever she knew I had already gone, she would let me run around naked in the kitchen for a while. Cloth diapering is not that big of a deal if that`s what you want to do. You should stock up on about 30 or so indian or chinese prefolds and about four liners such as Thirsties or Bummies. Get yourself a lidded diaper pail and a spray bottle. Soiled diapers should be dumped in the toilet and sprayed down with a water and vinegar mix, about three parts water to one part vinegar. Also spray down the wet diapers and keep them in a tightly sealed pail until you do laundry. For laundry day, only wash the diapers together and use regular laundry detergent unless that starts to cause rash, if that happens you can use Dreft for baby clothes which is hypoallergenic or you can just use a scoop of baking soda and a downy ball of vinegar which you don`t really need if you use the vinegar solution to spray down the diapers.

I used a thick layer of BALMEX and it worked. Desitin works too. When i tried cloth diapers my baby got rashes bad. Huggies Supreme natural fit are the Best diapers. So sorry for your little one :(

I have also done the browned flour. Lots of air drying also.

I`ve been told teething itself can cause diarrhea and I seen a couple ladies on here post the other day to take white flour and brown it, let it cool then apply it on your LO`s behind for bad diaper rash...Hope she`s feeling better soon!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
