First off - I've name changed for this, but I've been here a while (penguins, moldies, shiney cult, etc, etc) and need to ask this as I'm a single RP Dad with a 3.4 DD.
I read the last thread about this with interest, but found it very hard to find the advice within the unfortunate troll hunting.
I generally bathe DD every other day, although presently it's more like every night. But she still seems to have a build up of white stuff. I think the anatomical wording would be that it's under the labia majora. To give an idea of it's appearance & consistency, I had wondered if she'd been getting sudocreme'd at either nursery or her childminder (I work full time, so she has full-time day care), but realised it wasn't that.
She can get a bit whiffy down there, but she hasn't been smelly for some time now. She has been quite spotty on her bum and upper thighs for some weeks now - about half to dozen spots.
I know a lot of this is to do with her age - independence of wiping, lack of thoroughness and supervision with same, and the wearing of tights to keep her warm in current weather. Hence I have upped her baths to more like every evening.
Is this, combined with encouragement to better wiping, enough bathing? Should I do anything else? Should I clean the white stuff away?
