Bad diaper rash....

I have a 7 month old that just came off augmentin (amoxicillin's big brother) and it has given her a terrible diaper rash. I've tried every cream on the market and putting baking soda in her bath water, but it still looks pretty bad.

I wanted to know if there are some good old cures. I've heard of burnt flour any others?

Poor babe. Is the rash a wide spread raised patch of red? Have you tryed an antifungl cream such as over the counter monistate, or Lamisil? We see this alot after antibiotic treatment. One of augmentin's side effects is anal itching, this happens when the antibiotic kills off the good bacteria in the gut as well as the bad. If you want a totaly natural cure, try Mountain High plain yogurt. We choose Mountain High brand because contains the highest active levels of all 5 probiotics.

Good! I've heard of the yogurt before. Now here is the dumb question, do I actually put it on her bottom or does feeding it to her help?

I have done both with my girls, you will see almost immediate results at the next diaper change if you put is directly on the rash (warm it in your hands like lotion first) and feeding it to her will bring her gut flora back to normal. If you don't see results in 48 hours it might be something else, but I bet this will work.

It's for cows but it works on babys too... promise :o)

Helps soothe small injuries, rash chapping; massage on caked bag. Softens and moistens skin.
