Was it a perfect poop Temps and what colour was it?

  no it was a bit runny truth be told but...NEWS JUST IN...he's also teething so apparently it's normal

I never.

ohhhhhhh that hurt

that's my boy

I missed it all Suzi. Pub was more important. The hangover today and the severe shakes I've got I could do without though

Sign of old age!!

  Poor thing.

I'm not gonna argue with that coz I feel about 90 today. Kids did well out of it though. I came home with over 30 pound coins  and they got them today

Are they back in the good books now then...

Yep!   Always did bewilder me that they got the runs when teething... the only reason I could think of was all the extra dribble they swallowed.

My boy then used to get really bad nappy rash as well Temps!   The best thing for it would have been to let him go nappy free for a while... but that was soooo high risk!

My oldest was so bad with nappy rash when teething the skin used to peel off his arse when cleaning him up....i used to have to whip up egg white and put them on him...which worked.

Kinda. Can't punish them forever and they got me when I was drunk. They sent me a text last night and I sent them one back saying they weren't grounded anymore so they were waving it in front of my face this morning going "look we got proof"

oooh do you think it'd be a good idea to start putting a barrier on him now....like vaseline or something?  A pre-emptive strike kind of thing?

Croc, that wasn't the child that ate the curry was it?

Letting the air at his bum is the best thing...but if he has the squits then...urgh.

Sudocreme's the best barrier.  I found smearing a bit on every change actually prevented them getting nappy rash in the first place.

Drapolene was the only cream that worked...  bloody marvellous stuff!

Never heard of egg white... I would have tried it though.  Anything better than the barrier creams... they just used to make things worse.

My boy used to get thrush on his bum too... when things got really bad!   Oh the joys.... I had forgotten about all this stuff!

  thank you Leccy....I was reading about letting air at his butt earlier....but A) whoever suggested that must only have girls   and B) like you say, not if he's got the squits

So I shall arm his little butt with sudocreme...thank you again forum mummies

*this is the second time I've changed the direction of this thread I shall be good from here on *

oops...   different babies, different botties I suppose Leccy!

I agree...cos they stop the moisture getting thru the lining on the nappy and keep it on the skin....

Is Drapolee the yellow stuff cos that did work one the one occasion I used it.

And no it wasn't the curry eating daughter....she never got nappy rash...it was only the oldest one of mine that did...cos when he teethed he had a load all come though together...and I never put cream on any of them.

Cags....my kids love it on holiday when me and Mr Croc get drunk cos they reckon its really easy to get money out of us.

Ooh I went through loads of the stuff Ditty, did yours not get on with it?

Must be because of the different botties   Mine hardly got sore...I put it down to that stuff.

Mind you it's good for Mams too, spots, dry skin, cuts and grazes.

My boy didn't get on with any of the barrier type creams leccy.. only the ones that rubbed right in.

There were two.. and I HAD thought the name of the really good one was napisan.. but when I googled it that now comes up as some sort of washing powder.

I think Drapolene was pink.  But I do remember a yellow one as well.  Metanium that was really really good too.

none of mine got on with barrier creams...or Johnsons baby lotion...it burns my skin if i use it on my face so i never put it anywhere near my kids.

Yes, this thread has turned to shit!

Lard is good, BTW.

Now see, isn't the Community Spirit alive and well here.  Look at all that advice Temps has just got - and she didn't even ask for it.  

Sudocrem & and that lovely smelly talcum powder (can't rem the name) worked wonders for me.

Anyone try cabbage leaves on their sore nipples?

Heard that one Moomin.  Does it work?  

*buys large head of green cabbage in case*

OOh Tayto - don't know how long you've got to go, but cabbage does tend to get rather smelly after it's been around a while!!  

I think I tried it a couple of times and it was very soothing - but don't go swimming or anything, will you!!

Diddn't know we had an FM called cabbage leaves.

Don't think I'll be needing them for the same reason Moomin.

Tayto

Yes we are a lovely community

omg Blizzie....that lady sure does up date the aul 'cabbage and bacon' idea
