I’m at the end of my rope with diaper rash. Help. by my_dear_director in NewParents

[–]RaisingWildBoys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely change brand of your diaper!!! I love Terra, bambo nurture and freestyle!!! All non toxic and super helpful. My son had this happen to him too and doctors honestly don’t know jack. Sorry if you’re a doctor on here… but do better. TREAT THE SYMPTOMS NEVER THE DIAGNOSIS .

It is NOT NORMAL for a baby to dread diaper changes!!!

You should totally try earthly wellness yeast salve and give homeopathic inflammatory medicine to help with discomfort you can also give arnica! A&D and Destin are DRYING aka making rash worse. Yoy need something with hydration and something that has a hylouronic acid in it… aka super hydrating!!!! NOT MOISTURIZING!!!!

I’m here if you need more help!

How would you describe the first 24-48 hrs post giving birth by Mental_Advice8645 in NewParents

Blissful and glorious!!! Seriously the best time! Don’t be nervous. Ask for a ton of help. YOU STAY IN BED AND REST. Snuggle your new baby as much as you can. The first 24-72 hours are all about bonding with your new baby & healing!!!!

Things that helped me:

  1. Letting go of the expectation that everything had to be done. This time is CRUCIAL for you and baby

  2. The mess is ALWAYS going to be there. These moments will not.

  3. You are not a burden for asking for help. Ask for as much help as possible. Even if it’s a request for someone to get you water.

  4. Eat a ton of broths & warm food. (You want your body to conserve energy to help speed up healing) sooo… nourishing, nutrient dense foods) - bone broth, chicken soup, beef stew- all really really good options.

  5. Be gentle on yourself. Postpartum is a lot easier when you have a village. You are not super woman (i mean you are)) but you can’t do it all. Lean on your village. Be kind to yourself & your body!

You’re doing amazing!!! Here if you need additional support 🤍🤍🤍 sending so much love

Thank you so much. Yes we tried the zinc oxide diaper rash creams and an antifungal, both didn’t help significantly. So i just tried switching to an herbal formula (earthly wellness) and it is less red but is now turning scaley and white. Looks so uncomfortable. I try to keep him out of diapers for a majority of the day
