my son just recently started on solids and now when he poops its a little red and irritated on his bum, perfectly in the shape of his poop. i've read that the enzymes & whatnots in new food can do this and it's completely normal, but now his rash is looking shiny & super irritated. i keep boudreux's butt paste on it and overnight i use desitin but so far it's not getting any better.
any suggestions on what to try? i change his diaper more often now and always immediately after a poop.
Poor baby booty! Try to let him air dry for awhile everyday, I let my kids sit in the bathtub so if anything happens it is easy clean up, that might help the rash. Instead of using wipes, use Cetaphil (buy at Wal-Mart/drugstores, follow directions on back) My DR told me about the Cetaphil to use on my daughter. My son never got a diaper rash until we started him solids and I changed diaper brands (from huggies to Luvs) and the rashes just went away over night! I don't know if this actually helped or not, but it is too coincidental to ignore
EDIT: I just noticed your name (army wife) I was a Navy wife (veteran now), tell your hubby thank you!
