Luckily, we have NEVER had a problem with diaper rash with Julia. We knew she had sensitive skin, so we were really careful about constantly changing her so she never sat in a wet/dirty diaper. So we rarely had to use any diaper cream.
So imagine my surprise when Julia started to develop a rash on her bottom. I put a little diaper cream on it figuring it would clear right up. But it didn't. It did not really spread, but you could tell it was hurting Julia. She would squirm and fussy when I would touch it to put cream on it.
The other night she pooped in her diaper and then immediately grabbed her butt and starting whining. I went to go change her. As I set her down on the changing table, she lifted up her butt so it was not touching the pad and said "Hurt, hurt". I cleaned her up, all the while she was saying "hurt, hurt".
With her being on antibiotics and the rash not clearing up with regular diaper cream, I figured it had to be a yeast rash. Called the pedi, who called in a prescription cream for Julia.
It is looking much better today, but she is still fussing and squirming every time I touch it to put the cream on it, so it most still hurt.
Poor baby.....
But in good news, she is back to feeling 100%!!!! We also finished up the antibiotics this morning, so no more struggling to get it into her.
