12 months -- can table food or milk be causing diaper rash???
Ok -- this might be a little long so PLEASE try to stay with me!!!
DD is 12.5 months old and on all table food and 2% milk. No FM or baby food anymore
about 3-4 weeks ago she got a BAD stomach bug and had diarrhea for over a week. Im talking "peeing out of your butt" diarrhea. she did NOT develop a diaper rash from that
but since that stopped, whenever she poops she gets red and gets little red bumps wherever the poop was. doesnt matter if she sat in it for 30 seconds, the "rash" is there. i clean her, let her air dry and put either triple paste or zinc oxide on it. it basically goes away until she poops again. to me, it looks like she's having a reaction to something she's eating? is that possible at this age? like maybe to her milk?
also, since the stomach bug her poops have been much different. she doesnt have diarrhea anymore, but it's like soft serve ice cream (sorry, TMI!) i was thinking maybe it's the pH of the poop or something? I just dont understand it. She NEVER had a rash before she was like 8 months old, and now I feel like it never goes away. And it's not like she's sitting in the poopy diapers for 30 mins or anything. We'll know she went because she'll A) say "UH OH!" or B) we'll smell it right away. So she is changed RIGHT AWAY 90% of the time.
I just feel so bad for her. I cant imagine what it's like to walk around with a sore, red hiney/vajay everyday
Is this normal or should I give the Ped a call?

My kids took awhile to adjust to milk. I would say they didn't have real solid poops for about a month or so after going on milk 100% of the time. I would think maybe it is this combined with her belly still getting back to normal after the virus, but it can't hurt to give the ped a call.

Re: 12 months -- can table food or milk be causing diaper rash???
I'm not sure if it could be caused by the different food. But I think when DS is getting a new tooth he gets a really bad diaper rash. Same as you said, all red and bumpy.
When we first switched him over to milk from formula, he had diareah for a couple of days and a horrible rash. Could have just been coincinece b/c he was drooling like crazy so I figured new tooth.
I asked my ped about it - if it could be the milk? She said babies will get diaper rash - use zinc cream. (not very helpful, but I guess it is what it is.)
Hope her little tush is feeling better soon!

well that's the other thing, the wipes definitely make it worse.
ive been using pampers since she was born. i tried huggies once and those made her red. the pampers have been OK up until recently. I even use the sensitive ones and they still make it worse.
where do you get kirklands? are those the BJ's brand?
i use powder after a bath or if I dont have time to let her air dry. maybe ill try that instead of all the cream

we switched her to 2% at 10.5 months with the Ped's OK, so im thinking that 2 months later her system should be used to it?
I called them when she had the virus and they said to just do the BRATY diet for diarrhea. She got bored with that REAAAL quick!
