We just saw that movie on Monday. Dd had recently read the book. I won't spoil it for you, it was a cute movie. I even had a few tears toward the end.

I have a problem here. Rebekah has very red and irritated skin on her inner thigh. She doesn't want to go pee because it hurts if it touches. I am having to help her with her pottying right now. I have her on acidophelous. She is getting baking soda baths every night. It is hot and humid here and her sweatiness is not helping. I have tried aloe and e lotion with no affect. I don't want to use diaper rash stuff because I have had bad experiences with those with my eldest when he was a baby and don't want to risk hurting her worse. Any ideas? VBS is coming up and I am getting concerned about her being able to be comfortable there as well. We rarely have ever dealt with "diaper rash" that didn't come from antibiotics or diareah. I am not very experienced with this.
I am sure that you have had tons of answers by now...but I'll give you my two cents anyway.
cornstarch on the thighs....yes...the cornstarch out of your cupboard...lightly dust her thighs (and only her thighs) with it. YOu can use a cotton ball to apply it.

never thought I would ever say this to WOF, but....sorry but I have to disagree...studies and every web site I have ever read says the opposite...that corn starch will make it worse because it feeds the YI. I use corn starch on all diaper and other rashes, so I am all for corn starch (though the best kind is the kind sold for ironing...in powder form)...but with every YI one of us has ever had, corn starch made it worse.

How wonderful Ezri. I know you said Jerry views the military as his mission field.

I did not realize that it was YI based rash. If it is YI...then the burned flour treatment would work...it will not feed the YI. (you take flour and 'toast' it in a frying pan until it is slightly golden {more golden than usual if whole wheat} and then use it as you would powder or cornstarch). It will absorb the sweat and moisture and keep the thighs from chafing on top of the rash.
You can also wash the area with diluted apple cider vinegar (1 part vinegar to 1 part water)...it often will work better than baking soda baths....it just depends on her PH level in her skin/sweat and oil.

now those methods I can agree with...both of them (esp the "burned" flour..I know that works good from experience. Where I grew up, right by cajun country, that method is used quite often because everyone there knows how to "burn flour".)

I definately agree with the burned flour thing. I discovered that with my youngest and even used it on my niece.

Good Morning, I am up with the sun..... well, I am up with the rain and dark clouds. A perfect day to catch up on some zzzz's and I can't sleep.
I'm still crabby... don't know why. I'm wondering if I am catching a bug. My lower back aches, which always happens when I get sick, I'm tired but can't sleep and I'm chilled.
Ellie, Noah was getting YI rashes constantly for a while. The doc. gave me Clotrimazole Cream and it cleared it up instantly.
I put on a pair of 12 months clothes on Noah last night and they were about an inch to small!!! This kid literally went from 6-9 months to size 18 months in in less than 3 months!!! Wow!!! Maybe this is why he wants to nurse so much! And here I was worried that his Syndrome was affecting his growth (which can happen)... I guess that worry can be thrown out!

I got up way too early, as well. And I went to bed late!

Not that I know of.
Question for all you bloggers.... since I am new..... I am trying to change some wording in my blog. It looks like I am doing it right, but then when I hit "view blog" to see if the changes took place, nothing has changed. I am "editing posts", then publishing.

okay, ignore that last question. I guess it just takes a little time for it to edit itself. When I looked just now, it was edited.

A (our English scout) had a great time at youth group last night. He came home saying he wanted to stay here because we have a basketball court at our church (it didn't hurt that all the girls thought his accent was so cute! 
I guess I was irritated mostly because they really could have used an extra 1/2 hour of sleep! Oh well, I know they'll have fun!
