BUT, once DD woke up with #2 in her diaper... And her skin went from perfectly normal looking to bright, bright red. I was horrified at how bad a rash she could get from one poop! I also read that the usual barrier creams on very irritated/red skin can sting, so that's why a lot of moms use coconut oil. I went out and got some, and her bum was worlds better after each application... And practically perfectly healed within 2 days. She was diaper free most of the time too. So while it wasn't yeast like your LO, I just wanted to throw that out there since you mentioned trying coconut oil. Best of luck and hang in there!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chronic-yeast-infection-in-a-1yo#post-483473 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 01:48:10 +0000 banana 483473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, poor thing!! :( My son got a bad diaper rash recently (first one ever) and our ped told us to mix equal parts hydrocortisone 1%, lotrimin, neosporin, and diaper rash cream. Seriously worked like magic. I told 2 of my friends to do the same when their LO's had diaper rashes and they told me it worked really really well for them too. Maybe try that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chronic-yeast-infection-in-a-1yo#post-483464 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 01:30:43 +0000 sugar 483464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chronic yeast infections in baby?!?! Looking for some pro advice! So this last one isn't going away. Just spent an hour calming her down with her bottom as red as a tomato and bleeding- again. Here's what we currently do- dry wipes with water, fungal cream and an Rx anti-inflammatory at every change. An old school doc said to us last week- yep their bums are just sensitive there is nothing you can do!? We also do probiotics in her formula and some yogurt at least once a day. No antibiotics, no thrush in her mouth and no more breastfeeding. The crap part- it goes from being 100% fine to red and bleeding in one poop. Oh, and this last week we stopped using a barrier cream because the Doc said it might be keeping the yeast next to her skin and not letting it out. Finally, we do diaper free time when it does flair up- but sometimes, like tonight, if flairs up so fast that it is not even an option. Thinking of bathing her in yogurt tomorrow, feeding her garlic, and possibly rubbing coconut oil on her bum- no joke. All suggestions welcomed!! </p>
