Trial and Error

Dec 20, 2012 11:27

The thing that I think that has been the hardest for me as a parent, is dealing with trial and error when it comes to issues of Mina's health or comfort ( Read more... )

fwiw - we found that C always got diaper rashes if we used non-Pampers diapers, but with Pampers she almost always seemed free and clear. She'd get a rash pretty much instantly with other brands. Weird.

Mina had a pretty horrible rash early on (small area but bad - bleeding). We went through a whole host of diapers back then and she seemed to do best with the Target Up and Ups. Once we got a handle on that one, she's been pretty rash free. If she eats something that makes her break out (acidic stuff, mostly, if she has a lot) it will start to flare up, and after a night or day of cornstarch + ointment, she'll be OK ( ... )

Sounds like maybe yeast diaper rash? In which case she'd probably need an antifungal to get rid of it.

We do have a prescription antifungal from a previous issue (the girl has a lot of skin issues). Worth a try! Thanks for the reminder.

Poor monkey :/

We have a nebulizer for Mina, because with one of her colds she was wheezy and not taking in enough oxygen. Yeah, that is fun, making her take that thing.

Or using the Nosefreida to get the snot out of her head when she couldn't breathe well from that direction.

Perhaps this is karma to us, for being ungrateful for the difficult things our parents had to do for us? :)
