Diarrhea sucks

[rubber pants]

We are on day 5 of battling diarreah.

Her poor bum is so chafed and raw from the poopsies! Yesterday evening, I gave her some rice cereal to try to bind her up a little, then she pooped, we did bath time and I layed her down nakie on some blankets in the living room so she could air out her goodies. She seemed tired and was close to dozing off so I left her there and walked to the kitchen (literally 10 steps away) to wash some bottles.

5 minutes later I go to check on her, since she was silent, I assumed she was napping.

WRONG!

She crapped liquid... and decided it would be fun and hilarious to roll around in it. When she saw me enter the room, she looked up and laughed.

Back into the bath she went!

Ha! Oh no!!!!! Your poor baby. Diarrhea is no fun, but especially not for a little baby! I hope it stops soon!

Poor babe!!

But yay for getting a laugh out of it!

Get some probiotics! Claire gets bad diarrhea when she has to be on antibiotics, and the probiotics work great.

My problem lately is that even her regular poop irritates the HELL outta her butt, so we're dealing with terrible rashes on top of constipation terribleness. If it's not one thing, it's another, I swear.

Target only had one brand, so we're using what they had. It's "Culturelle."

I'm so sorry, but I literally laughed out loud at the rolling and laughing in the poop, and I also childishly thought, "It doesn't suck, it blows!"

<pulls self back to adulthood> Poor baby. I hope everything gets better soon!
