Feeling like mother of the year, right now.

(TMI poo discussion ahead)

DD had some super diarrhea on Sunday, and I changed her as soon as I noticed. She looked a little irritated, so I smeared her with Desitin, as per usual. Monday, the nanny reported that it looked pretty bad, and she had really been on the Desitin. When I changed her, I noticed that the redness had spread, and she was not happy to get her diaper changed. She had some diaper free time, in the hopes that it would help. We told the nanny that if it didn't look better on Tuesday, we'd take her in to the doctor. Well, it was even worse yesterday, and when we took her in she was at the point of shaking and crying when she had to get her diaper changed (cue tears from me). He said that it was probably from the diarrhea, and that it looked like a chemical burn.

Now, I'm not using wipes on her (she gets hosed off with a peri bottle every time she gets changed). but the bad poo came back this morning. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the introduction of cows milk, even though the first bout of diarrhea started before we gave her any. She's also had other dairy before with no problem.

Ahh! I don't know what to do! How can I make my little girl feel better? Should I cut the milk back out? Try a lactose free milk?

Good grief, sorry for the rambling post.
