So, I don't think she's teething. I think it was too much moisture in her dipes. We weren't using a dry cloth to blot after using our wet wipes. We've been giving her lots of air time, using Aveeno diaper rash cream, and disposable diapers overnight. It seems to be getting better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-burning-babys-butt#post-1598488 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 06:51:33 +0000 citymouse 1598488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience to offer, but Triple Paste works wonders for us w cloth diapers and rash. DS had welts one time bc he had popped in the MOTN. We dont know how long he was sitting in it, but the rash was bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-burning-babys-butt#post-1598461 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 06:25:41 +0000 Mrs. J 1598461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO had bad diaper rash/acidic poop until he went meds for acid reflux. He hasn't really had issues since. We also cloth wipe/cloth diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-burning-babys-butt#post-1598375 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 01:43:16 +0000 birdofafeather 1598375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for teething for us! But she was much older at the time. I would also look into something acidic you're eating if you're BFing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-burning-babys-butt#post-1598253 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 21:06:56 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1598253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happens all the time with DS, and he's 13 months - although as long as I apply diaper rash ointment quickly (I use Desitin) it clears up right away. He is mildly allergic to dairy and possibly soy, so anytime he eats traces of those ingredients (often) his poor cheeks get angry. It also happens with tomatoes and teething. He has extremely sensitive skin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-burning-babys-butt#post-1598241 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 21:00:28 +0000 beachbee 1598241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened once we started solids, anything acidic causes her to break out similar to what you described. At that age, though, I did find that if I didn't change her right after she poo'd she would get red. Not sure if that has anything to do with your sutuation, I think my LO just has a sensitive tushy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-burning-babys-butt#post-1598233 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 20:56:37 +0000 avivoca 1598233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only had that happen once, it was right after she are sweet potatoes the first time. We haven't had it since, but I felt so bad for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-burning-babys-butt#post-1598209 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 20:38:11 +0000 Mrs Spoon 1598209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also thinking teething. Poor babe. When this happened to us we did everything you are already doing so keep it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-burning-babys-butt#post-1598207 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 20:36:51 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1598207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LD has MSPI and before I eliminated soy this happened to her (also around 4 months). It was like anywhere the poop touched her skin it would turn bright red (not always, just occasionally). It completely stopped when I eliminated soy. Does you LO have any food issues you think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-burning-babys-butt#post-1598206 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 20:36:48 +0000 Smurfette 1598206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R gets this if she eats tomato based pasta sauce. Have you had any? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-burning-babys-butt#post-1598183 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 20:23:26 +0000 littlebug 1598183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second teething as a culprit. We've noticed that D's entire butt (especially in his groin creases) gets INCREDIBLY red and raw-looking when he's teething. Your LO is only 16 weeks, so I assume not eating solids, but we cut back on acidic foods for D (esp berries and oranges) and switch him to disposable diapers with Boudreaux Butt Paste until it clears up. Obviously cutting the tooth is the "cure," but this seems to help take the edge off. If you're BFing, maybe try cutting back on your acids - tomatoes, pasta sauce, berries, citrus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-burning-babys-butt#post-1598177 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 20:20:58 +0000 Silva 1598177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know yours is too little for solids, but this happens when my daughter eats too many tomatoes, no matter how quickly I change her after pooping. We switch to disposables and lather on the destin (when she can't be naked). I feel so bad for her, she cries when we wipe or out her in the bath- the sores have even been open/bleeding occasionally. :sad: it's really sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-burning-babys-butt#post-1598149 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 20:01:28 +0000 Kemma 1598149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is LO showing any signs of teething? My girl had terrible nappy rash from acidic poo when she cut her molars and canines! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-burning-babys-butt#post-1598141 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 19:57:17 +0000 Vegmama 1598141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO is 16 weeks old, and suddenly has this horrific looking rash on her bum. It doesn't look like what I thought diaper rash would look like ... It looks like acid was sprayed on her. There are 5 or 6 big spots (dime size), and several smaller spots. The nurse at the ped office called &amp; said it's likely from acidic poop. Anyone else experience this?</p> <p>We use cloth diapers, cloth wipes. We are treating with coconut oil, and cycling between a natural diaper rash cream, and another calendula ointment. Oh, and plenty of bare skin time. </p> <p>Anyone have something like this turn out to be something else? </p> <p>So scary when things happen for the first time. Gahhh! </p>
