Liam had an AMAZINGLY awful diaper rash last week. It was so bad that even touching his little tush with a wet paper towel would make him shake with pain and screech like a banshee. His bottom was super inflamed and he was needless to say, in a VERY foul mood.
I ended up taking his diaper off of him at Shesh's house and letting him wander the yard in a sweatshirt and sandals for 2 hours. He was happy as could be outside half nude, and found it very amusing to watch himself pee on the decking, giggling at his arching stream. That helped his butt a little, but the real fix was a suggestion once given to me by the wise Mrs. Michele Burke.
A & D diaper cream
Thank God she told me to use it! Officially, I was raised in a Desitin house, and am pretty brand loyal to it. However, when I smeared a blob of it on Liam's rashy backside this time, he screamed as though I was pinching him. A light bulb came on over my head as I remembered Auntie Shel's sage advice:
cover him in A & D before you use the Desitin.
Wow did that work like a charm! A few hours after beginning the A & D regimen, and he would let me gently wipe him with a wipee. 24 hours and a whole tube of A & D later, his bottom was back in prime condition.
Thanks for the advice! Got any more tips for me?
