I know this sounds mad but could the cream I'[m putting on DS4s skin be making his poo runny?

[LadyTophamHatt]

it's calendula cream.

It's cleared up his really bad dry skin (its not excema, 2 GP's have said) but over the last few days she's had really runny poo.

He's prefectly happy, doesn't seem unwell and is drinking all his milk.

It's the only thing I can think that is causeing it.....

don't think tha tusing a topical cream would affect your bowels

I think it's very unlikely. DS3 has just had a couple of days of really runny poo (otherwise OK, although came down with a cold and temp as the poo cleared up). Maybe a virus is doing the rounds.

not unless it is on his hands and he is sucking them. I can't remember how old your boy is? All my brian is telling me is not that old

he's 12 weeks.

I thought maybe because his skin is absorbing it that its making his nappies runny.

Told you it was mad

All the stuff the Gp suggested for his skin made it worse so this has been FAB because it was really dry and horrible.
