Teething signs...

What signs or symptoms did your DC display when he/she started teething?

DD has unexplained diarrhea and diaper rash. No fever, acting normally. We brought her to the ped today and the ped said it's either teething or a stomach virus. No prescriptions.

Her diaper rash is so bad. She screams bloody murder the minute we set her on the changing table. I'm doing everything I can to help it.. cream, airing it out, etc. What else can I do?

Re: Teething signs...

What you described is what my DD just went through. She is teething, but it was a virus. It lasted 6 days. She seemed unbothered by it (except for the diaper changes.)

For the diaper rash I used a warm wet paper towel (no wipes, alcohol burns), some neosporin right on the rash and then alot of Aquaphor to keep the wetness off her skin. Once I started this the rash improved quickly. I did this at every diaper change until both the diarrhea and rash was gone.

Hope your DD feels better soon


As for the teething, she gnaws on everything (including my nose) - I mean something is ALWAYS in her mouth, her fingers are all red and raw from chewing on them, excessive drool, disturbed sleeping and CRANKY CRANKY CRANKY.
