We have been having a MAD diaper rash outbreak. So, after dinner and before FHE yesterday we had some naked baby time outside. Sarah was showing off her standing skills. She can stand for several seconds at a time, but when she tried to stand up holding the soccer ball, that didn't last so long :) I thought I had heard all the diaper rash remedies, but the doctor we saw on Sunday had a new suggestion. Mix Aquaphor with Maalox (the antacid). The mixture provides a moisture barrier and the antacid neutralizes the acid in the urine. It has been keeping them more comfortable (especially Sarah) while we wait for her diarrhea to stop and for the oral meds to kill the yeast.
