Time outside diaper free is good too.... the sun is great against yeast &amp; you don't really have to worry about clean up.</p> <p>If you think it is yeasty then be sure to treat all cloth dipes or clothes/blankets that come in contact with the bare bottom</p> <p>And talk to your pedi about probiotics if lo isn't already taking them. They'll help balance out the yeast and even help get over whatever is causing the diarrhea. =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airing-out-diaper-rash#post-313226 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 13:49:05 +0000 mrs. wagon 313226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>basically, until her diarrhea goes away all you can do is maintain it (make sure it doesn't get worse). there's no getting rid of it until the diarrhea is gone :( at least, that was the case with wagon jr.</p> <p>I was hesitant to let baby go diaper-free since I'm such a control freak, but it really is the best way to go, at least until the skin is bone-dry and you can get some cream on it to be a barrier. I just covered the entire floor with towels, waterproof pads, and pee pads. It actually helped me understand that he wasn't peeing and pooping all the time..! I only watched him pee and poop on the pads a couple of times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airing-out-diaper-rash#post-313194 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 13:40:52 +0000 pinkcupcake 313194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Great idea about the puppy pads!!

When she'd have an accident, that was when diaper-free play time was over and we'd throw it in the wash, put her cream on and slap the diaper back on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airing-out-diaper-rash#post-312660 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:56:20 +0000 plaidpants 312660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: We are experiencing the same situation! After a stomach bug last week, my LO has diaper rash that just won't quit. It's the first time she's had it, so I wasn't sure what to do. I am going to try "airing her out." Her nine month appointment is tomorrow so I'm going to make the doctor look at it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airing-out-diaper-rash#post-312659 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:56:02 +0000 pelikila 312659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fitteds or prefolds without a cover would be helpful so air is getting to the bottom but the mess is relatively contained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airing-out-diaper-rash#post-312648 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:48:25 +0000 brownie 312648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could try some prefold cloth diapers. They woul let air flow but catch the mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airing-out-diaper-rash#post-312592 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:13:39 +0000 IcebergMom 312592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't imagine trying to have a whole diaper less day do maybe just try a few hours at a time? Post bath or post next diarrea? We had some bad diaper rash this summer but we didn't try diaper less. We just switched from cloth to plastic (which wicks moisture away better) and used a 1:1:1 ratio of yeast infect cream, diaper rash cream and hydrocortisone cream. Doctor DH recommended it. Worked every time! Thin layer of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airing-out-diaper-rash#post-312586 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:10:13 +0000 prettylizy 312586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you can get her to sit still, puppy pee pads are my go to for diaper free time. They soak up any mess, and are easy to toss. No real cleanup. I'll put a bunch down over her play mat and let her roll around on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airing-out-diaper-rash#post-312581 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:08:20 +0000 autumnlove 312581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's diaper rash (from diarrhea) is pretty bad right now. She had her 9 month well appointment yesterday and our pediatrician prescribed a Nystatin paste and told us to let LO go diaperless as much as possible.</p> <p>Any tips? She still has diarrhea right now so we are worried about messy accidents! </p>
