Sorry, another thread about this lovely subject. Please bear with me whilst I try to explain
We started BLW 2 months ago and follow on milk when Violet hit 6m. After a couple of weeks, she started getting really bad nappy rash which would be red roar and quite blistery.
We'd manage to get it to clear up after a few days but within about a week, it'd come back out of the blue, really bad (not gradually get worse, it'd just appear really bad).
We've tried everything.....
Changed nappies, changed wipes, changed nappy rash cream but it'll start to clear it up but then it just comes back really bad again.
Her nappy is always changed as soon as it's dirty and it's not done up too tightly either. We use barrier cream at every change but nothing is stopping it from coming back so bad!
She's also cut a tooth during this time so not sure whether it's the follow on milk causing it, the weaning or the teething. I should also mention that her dirty nappies have about trippled in amount during this time too.
The last 24hrs, her dirty nappies have also been pretty green and really smelly. They've got like a vinegary smell (sorry TMI). But I've also noticed the slit on her gum next to the other tooth so I assume she'll get another tooth through shortly.
I'm sorry this is so long but I'm trying to work out what's causing the rash and if there's anything I'm doing wrong (ie. follow on not agreeing with her, offering wrong foods etc).
And I'm also after ideas of ways to help the rash and help prevent it? We have literally tried everything. Creams are ok to begin with but tbh haven't really helped much so I'm after other ideas if there are any?
TIA, really appreciate any help as I hate seeing her in so much discomfort
