Dina is 1 month today

1 month.

i don't think i can do this... taking care of an infant. this is it for me. the stress is too much, i worry about everything. i feel bad having to choose which crying kid i have to attend to first.

anyways, dina is currently experiencing a bad diaper episode. started as a diaper rash, progressed to red bumps n then broke. her skin is raw. at one point she cried so much she lost her voice. vicious cycle. she leaks poop... i change her, she cries n squeeze n poop a little more. i change her... she cries... squirt a little poop... i change her...

and why does desitin or butt paste is sticking to everywhere else but the area i want it to stick to. now, she's on a perscription cream for burn victim. seems to work (please work!!) but today just noticed another area getting red.

at times i feel i can't do it, i can't handle seeing her butt like that. but what choice do i have...

that's it... at 1 month... i am stressing over dina's butt.

poor thing..
if u r using dispos, mb u want 2 consider using cloth.had this prob too, my doc suggested cloth n each time she poop, i suggest u celup her whole butt in a big bowl of luke warm water instead of wipes/water spray.agree wth ellie s, it might b smthing u eat too.. good luck!

hey win. it's me, aida. call me old fashioned, but i swear on gamat especially bab luka2 ni....and especially when nothing works. let me know if you want to try gamat on dina, i'll send it to you.....think i have some...

no worries win, i've been there, my boys are even closer in age than yours. if i can do it (did not say i did it pleasantlyall the time
...) you can too.
