Because it was making him fussy, I became concerned about dairy allergies
It's tricky, isn't it? At least for me. TenE is seriously throwing me for a loop. She is much, much better on the fussy front and sometimes sleeps alone now for 30 minutes at a time. Now I have to train myself to sleep without waiting for her to wake up.
Was that Caesar garlicy? Sounds like what you are doing is working for both of you.
I think she definitely crested that 6 week peak of fussiness....but I don't know. :huh: I didn't have the curry today because I didn't want to wait to make rice. I'm sure she will give me another chance to wonder.

Ummm...dumb question...what does a rash look like?
I've tried googling diaper dermatitis but the clinical photographs are of course the really bad ones.
DS has gotten a little red in his thigh creases, though that doesn't really happen any more. And every so often he gets a little red and sometimes even a bump or two around his anus. When that happens I dry him well and keep him smeared with Burt's Bees ointment and it goes away within a diaper change or two.
Is that diaper rash? Or am I overreacting? Or am I not preventing well enough? I honestly don't know.Alison

I think it's one of those things that you know it when you see it. Nikolai has rare boughts of redness- in fact I think I've used Dr. Boudreaux's maybe three times in two years!
My friend's daughter gets flaming rear end and has actually had one small spot of skin breakdown. (redhead with a bad gut=bad, bad diapers)

Alison - what you described was probably just a little irritation, and the Burt's Balm would be perfectly sufficient for it. You'll know a real rash when you see it. Some babes never really have them --- I don't think Jacob had one until right around his 1st birthday. Others seem to have more sensitive skin.

Alison, I didn't use diaper cream once w/ Anna and haven't had to w/ Ev and only a little with the first. We just lucked out on that, I suppose. Yes, all the pictures on-line will probably be really bad! I don't think he has diaper rash.
Another thing that works if you don't mind a little potential mess is to let them be diaper free for a bit.
When we do need cream, I try to use plain zinc oxide. I think that is what it is. It's the dermatologist in the house. Burt's Bees stuff smells great but it has so many other ingredients that could cause sensitivities later. (I love the smell of Burt's Bees baby lotion and decide to take my chances with that :>). I also don't use wipes for just wet diapers for the same reason.
