My daughter (5 months) has chronic diarrhoea. It's being looked at by the GP as she has had it for a week now.
I'm quite confident it's a bug and not teething or an intolerance as she got it from a friends baby (who still has it 26 days later!!).
Anyway - she has AWFUL nappy rash with it. Bright red, broken skin, sore patches. I've never seen anything like it. I have had her nappy free for the last three days, Except when she is napping or asleep. I have been using the yellow nappy rash metanium cream, but it doesn't seem to be shifting. Until now I had always used the white every day one, but thought as she now actually had the rash I was meant to change to the yellow one?
Basically - any advice will be greatly received as to what to do about the rash.
DD is still poo'ing 15/20 times a day with a green acid type liquid. So that is obviously not helping her bum heal, but as she is nappy free I move the soiled cloth from under her immediately, wash with warm water, pat dry and then re apply cream. But is really not working.
Other than that, she is still sleeping and seems happy in herself?
