I Need Diaper Rash Help!

My poor baby girl has been sick with the "common cold" (so the doctor says everyweek when I bring her in!) and because of this she has had slight diarrhea which has caused this horrible diaper rash! I try to be very good at getting her dry quickly and really staying on top of it (as does her daycare provider) but this darn rash will go away for 12 hours and then BOOM....its back...and this has been the cycle for about 4 weeks now...what can I do??? Is there any magic things that you mommas have tried that I don't know about? Any favorite...

Claritin Side Effects with Toddlers

Has anyone given claritin to a toddler and experience behavioral side-effects? My 2.5 year old has been taking Claritin for a little over a week and has been acting up much more than usual (e.g., throwing things and hitting). I realize that some of his behaviors are typical 2 year old behaviors, but his behavior definitely seems to have changed since starting the allergy medicine.
