Rash Distress

Kayla has a pretty bad and lousy case of diaper rash, so bad that she's crying and writhing in pain when we try to clean her up. Her bum's an angry red and no matter how much diaper cream we slap on, it's refusing to go away.

We're not sure what caused it either. Pure conjecture: Her butt could be protesting the new diaper wipes we started using on Friday, or perhaps it was something in both her diet and mine. I'm praying it clears up tonight - knowing she's suffering (no matter how minute the pain) and being totally powerless is tough to stomach.

She's crying again now - looks like it's going to be another long, sleepless night.

How abt using pure cotton balls n water to clean her butt instead of wipes? As for diaper cream, try using Desitin, if u can get in US. Pek

yes..that's why we did. it's cleared up now but it was terrible watching her wince in pain each time we try to wipe her butt.
