Postum bum

Matthew now officially smells like Postum whenever he goes potty. I got a lot of suggestions on how to resolve Matthew's sore bum on facebook and I have included them bellow. The one that I ultimately tried and worked is not listed. I came from my sister in law Jackie. It's the "wierd" one she refered to in her post. She told me to take dry flower and cook it on the stove until it turned brown. Jamie did and practically turned it black. It looked almost exactly like Postum. We sifted off the carmalized sugars and put it in a baggie. Whenever we changed his diaper we would put gential violet on it to kill anything on there then a coat of the cooked flour just like it was baby powder. It really made him smell like Postum and I had to check really good to see if he was poopy because his diaper was pretty much allways colored brown whether he was poopy or not. It is not completely healed yet but it is close. He is a much happier little boy and I am a much happier mommy.

    Leudys Luque wow!!!! pobrecito esta muy mal, Dylan tenia algunos problemas asi, no creo que alla sido tan fuerte, lo que yo hice fue colocarle crema cero, no se como se llama aqui es lo mas simple para los bebes, y le cambie la marca de panal a unos que absorven mas, yo le colocaba esa crema y talco al mismo tiempo y lo lavaba con agua fresca. la verdad no se si eso te va a servir. que se mejore tu bebe.

    Allie Sensinger Honestly original desitin and powdering everthing with baby power was and is the only thing that comes close to working. The other option is to make sure that you take all sugars away from his diet such as juices and sweets. You can also try adding align probiotic with his milk.

    Joy Wahlen Wagner Rebekah had the worst diaper rash for a week and a nurse told me to mix petroleum jelly and cornstarch 50/50. It is a little tricky to do but it worked like a charm in less than 24 hours the open sores were healing the the redness was a pinkish color. Desitin just made her scream.

    Jackie Lucchesi Davenport Did you try the gentian violet? DON'T put cornstarch on it unless you're 100% it's not yeast, cause if it is, it will only feed it. I also have another weird one I forgot about that I will call you with that worked on Jacob.

    Laura Smith I really liked the A&D diaper cream. I put it on Jacob before he went to bed and it was cleared up the next day. Balmex burns the skin more, I have found. Good luck. You could also try some aloe vera also maybe.

    I would treat it like a yeast rash from the looks of it, but I wouldn't rule out food sensitivities (which also could be causing the ear infections) esp. when the rash is right around his bottom . Keep giving him probiotics and no antibi...otics unless absolutely necessary. Alaistar had a bad yeast rash for awhile and I tried many things the most effective was alternating using powdered probiotics right on the rash with a natural anti fungal/anti bacterial cream that have tea tree oil or grapefruit seed extract in a base of olive oil or coconut oil (both oils are also anti fungal) making sure that the strength is right for his skin (test it on yourself in a sensitive area). I made my own cream after researching natural anti fungal remedies online. Calendula is very healing and soothing as well. I also made sure he had lots of diaper free time and natural fiber breathable diapers with no additives/fragrances. Don't feed him any sweets natural or otherwise ( I also didn't eat them because I was still nursing him) and no foods with yeast like bread. Nystatin didn't do anything for us. I feel for you sweetie, I was a mess when he was going through that. I hope he gets better really soon... for all of your sakes. Much Love!!!See More
