a trick of the trade


For all those reading this blog and could care less about diaper rashes and such, sorry for the boring blog entry and feel free to stop reading now. For all you moms out there - here is a trick of the trade I just discovered:

The Cashman has been rockin' a wicked case of diaper rash these last 2 weeks. So severe that I had several other moms try and diagnose it as thrush or a yeast infection... but when I looked online - the symptoms didn't fully match up - but regular butt creme wasn't doing a THING! It seemed to just get worse and worse. Changing a diaper on a 1 year old who doesn't want to stay put is hard enough. Add the rash, and your life is hell.

Then I got a killer tip. Give them a bath - clean all the destitine off, then take Mylanta, (yes - mylanta) and with a cotton ball, dab it on and blow it semi dry. Then generously apply some of the A&D diaper rash ointment on. What was turing into it's 3rd week of the diaper rash off all time, was almost completely gone in 2 days. Magic! Who knew. Maybe all you seasoned moms did. But just in case you didn't - I'm sharing the love.

Good to know, Pete use to get wicked diaper rash! Would have been nice to know 2 yrs ago:) I can only hope that Piper doesn't get the same but if she does it is nice to know the cure:)
