I am really need advice help me!!?

My son seems to get a bad rash . He poops usually 6 to 7times a day then developes a bad rash in his but. He is changed right after he poos. The area is cleaned and I apply vasoline to the area. This is really becoming a problem, What can I do to prevent this from happening? He is 2 months old and I only started having this problem from one week..I am really need advice help me!!?
Try the baby powder that is pure cornstarch. Use at every diaper change. This is the only thing that helps my son. He seems to be allergic to any of the creams.I am really need advice help me!!?
Switch diapers. He might be allergic to them.





my son would get these really bad rashes, like they were rubbing his legs raw and his little booty and everything would break out, come to find out he was allergic to the diapers and when I spoke to her about the rashes she told me that Desitin, Boudreaux and other diaper creams only prevent the rash, she then gave me a presciption for diaper rash which knocked it out right away.
Baby powder (or cornstarch) is better because it will keep the area dry, vasaline will lock in the moisture.
sometimes regular baby powder is all that works for my triplet sons with sensitive skin. they just turned 2 and we have been through lots of creams and ointments and many diarrhea viruses. once we had to leave the diaper off for an hour without anything on one of them to let the rash heal then used the desitin once we put the diaper back on.
I would use something other than Vaseline. Vaseline really irritates my sons diaper area. Try something like Destitn everytime you change him. I have also used Aquaphor with great success. It coats like Vaseline but is not as irritating. My son's nurse suggested it to us and we have been doing it for years!
The formula your using is not agreeing with him consult your doctor. And buy unscented diaper wipes. Sometimes certain babies need to bathed right after bowel movements.
I have used a product called Triple Paste. It really clears up the diaper rash quickly. I know this will sound crazy, but my aunt swears on it: Preparation H (hemorrhoid cream). Her son had a really bad rash as a baby and NOTHING made it go away, except of Preparation H. Her doctor had suggested it.





I would call the doctor to ask about him pooping that much in one day. That really seems like a lot. Good luck!
Desitin is great. Maybe change his diaper and also maybe change your diet if you are breastfeeding or possibly change formula. Talk to dr.
I use A%26amp;D Ointment and it works also Zink oxide is great
Begin to use diaper cream. My pediatrician said Vaseline is fine to help prevent a rash, but once one occurs it will not cure it.





If it is a bad rash, i would buy Triple paste (brand of diaper cream). It is more expensive but it does wonders (quickly) on a bad rash. then buy some regular diaper cream for once the rash heals. Call the pediatrician, b/c if they think it is a bad rash, they can prescribe some medicated cream for him.





Good luck
I swear by Desitin... it doesn't wash away with each pee... it's still on after a full night's sleep.


If it doesn't clear up I would take him to the doctor... it could be a yeast infection and not a diaper rash.
It am guessing it goes away after each cleaning? If that is the case just keep putting on the Vaseline and cover that with cornstarch. You can use the kind in the kitchen.





If it is a continuous rash and it has little red bumps and raised edges, ask your Ped. to see if it is a yeast rash. This kind you have to have a special cream for. You can get a script from your Ped, but I just bought some Neosporin AF (anti fungal). It cleared up almost immediately. But keep using it for a few days.





Good luck. It's so hard when the baby is uncomfortable.
look at his diet a little closer
I'm not really sure what to do, though some of the other advise looks good, but I don't advise applying vaseline, especially not six to seven times a day. It contains petroleum, which is bad for the child's delicate skin, especially in that location. You can ask your doctor about something soothing to apply. (Cornstarch and baby power are apparantly very good.)
try a%26amp;d ointment, it has worked miracles for my son....oh, and try to let it get some air once in awhile...if it continues go to the doctor
If you are using baby wipes...I would stop until it clears up. Use a wet paper towel or cotton balls. Give him some bare butt tummy time after diaper changes and then slather on the desitin!
