My house is full of butt issues!

TMI warning ahead:

DH is having hemorrhoid issues. To the point he has to call Tuesday for a surgical consult. So he's pretty much outta commission.

J woke around 630. He was whining, but nothing unusual so I let him go to see if he would settle. He didn't, so around 7 I went in. He was laying on his tummy, which IS unusual, and took a long time to get up. I put him on the changing table and he immediately stiffened up and started crying. He had a large poo, and underneath that a MAJOR rash. Oh I feel awful. I got him cleaned up amongst a barrage of crying, and his poor bum looks like he's wearing a bright red diaper. He doesn't want to walk, and keeps asking for "up." When I pick him up he tucks his legs under so his bum doesn't rest on my arm, and he's walking funny. I'm going out to get a stronger cream and some cornstarch. I feel so bad for him. After getting up from breakfast he was crying out in pain because sitting too long hurts. He's currently stark naked watching whatever cartoons he wants. My poor baby!

Alexis had a horrible rash and her pedi suggested Mylanta or Maalox at every diaper change and then cream on top. I guess it blocks the acid from hitting the skin. It worked really well! I hope his rash gets better soon!

I hope the new cream helps! Dd had a really bad reaction to the generic diapers we were buying awhile ago and she screamed and cried during every diaper change until it healed. That was really hard!

Poor J! Are you still nursing enough to maybe express a little BM to add to your treatment plan? Can you do some naked time too?
Encourage your DH to use a foot stool when he does his deal.

Oooh I can try BM in the morning. I always forget about that. He had so much naked time today I think he was confused. It led to a lot of new "discoveries" and he did not like being covered back up. Boys are soooo fun.
