What Products to Use for an Infant Who Has a Rash

Hi I was wondering what products many of you recommend for an infant (2 month old) who has a very bad sandpaper like rash all over her body. Her back is actually peeling today since her skin has been so dry. I did take her to her Pediatrician who ruled out any illness. He stated it may be sensitive skin or she may be having a reaction to a food that I am eating as she also has very bad reflux along with it. I use dreft detergent on all clothes/linens that come into contact with her. I use Eucerin on her skin which does seem to help a...

11 Mth Son - Cycle of Congestion/ear Infections, Has Reflux, Doesn't Sleep Well

Hi everyone, I have a 11 month old son with a combination of issues. Most recently, he has been sick on and off with congestion and ear infections, accompanied by fever, for over 2 months now. He's had 2 rounds of antibiotics (which causes constant diarrhea and then awful diaper rash!). He takes Prevacid for reflux, since about 3 months of age, which the dr increased 2 weeks ago from 7 1/2mg per day to 15 mg/day. He has never slept through the night! He typically wakes up every 1 1/2-2 hours, sometimes he will sleep 3-4 hours when...

How Do I Help My Son Get over Fear of Bowel Movements?

My son who turned 2 on Oct.27.2007 has been completely potty trained since November 2007. Even as a older baby he did not like to have a bowel movement. I nursed him until he was a yr old so he went often. It took no effort to potty train him. He had diarrhea one day that got all over him and since then he has never worn a diaper/pull up again. When he needs to go he holds it has long as he possibly can. He was holding 3-4 days and is starting to hold it longer. The dr. recommended Miralax (i don't like to give my kids medications unless it...

Need GREAT Moisturizer

OK - my skin is really freaking out! I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Sprue and one of the side effects is dry skin. The skin on my face is flaky, itchy, red in spots and sometimes even burns. I've never had problem skin, and am still not experiencing any dryness anywhere else except my face. This is really uncomfortable, and to be on the vain side - not very attractive! Does anyone have a recommendation for a really good moisturizer? I've tried Aquaphor (which is usually wonderful, but isn't touching this!)and Eucerin.

14-Month-old Is Constipated

My 14-month-old son is constipated a few times a week. I have been in contact a few times with the pediatrician's office and am doing everything I can. This started when he was switched over from formula to whole milk. Also, he does not drink much water. I am always forcing it on him, but he won't drink much. I give him prunes or blueberries to eat, make his baby cereal with prune juice, give him whole grain foods, etc. I also water down his milk and occasionally put Karo syrup in his milk. He still has problems with constipation. ...

Baby with Diarrhea

Hello, My 11 month old daughter has had diarrhea for 4 days. I spoke with her pediatrician on day 2 and she said as long as she was well hydrated, we shouldn't worry, it will pass. Then, the next day, she didn't seem to be wetting diapers so I took her to the local clinic (our pediatrician is about an hour away). They said she looked fine and they thought it would pass. Now we are going on day 5 and I am getting worried. Her poor little bottom is so sore and she's been fussy through it all. Has any one else had a baby with diarrhea this...

Aquaphor & Mylanta for Diaper Rash????

I read in either Parents or Babytalk that you can use a mixture of Eucerin Aquaphor and Mylanta on diaper rash and that it works great. Has anyone ever tried this? I'm about at my wits end with a never ending diaper rash on my daughter. It will go away for a day or two and then comes right back.
