Toddler Booty Bump Question

[mrsrek10]

So, my DH and JA just got home and JA had pooped. As my DH was coming up the stairs to JA's changing table, I could hear JA whining and saying his poop burns. My DH said he had a poopy diaper earlier this morning and said the same thing so my DH had put Butt Paste on him. This time when my DH changed him, after he cleaned him up, we noticed that the very inside of his cheeks were red and right near his butthole (but still on his cheeks) there were a few little bumps. They look like little whiteheads. We put more Butt Paste on him but I wanted to see if any of you have had that with your babies. Is this what a yeast rash looks like? We have never indicated to JA that poop could "burn" so I was surprised when he said that. Anyone?



Edited: I thought I may need to clarify that this was about Toddler Booty Bumps and not calling TB a "Booty" Bump, lol

Emmett will get little white bumps too, but he never complained of it burning. He actually seemed very indifferent to it. Butt paste seems to do the trick in a few days for him. I would give it a couple of days to get better, or if you notice getting worse get it looked at. The one time he had a yeast rash it got worse with diaper cream.

That sounds like a yeast rash.

Mine got that when he had strep. Any signs of that?

we are trying extra strength butt paste and if it is not better by tomorrow, I will go get some Monistat to try.

tribute17, I haven't seen a sign of strep but after you said this, I do remember one of my nephews having an all over rash and he had strep. If it doesn't clear up tomorrow or gets worse by the time I pick him up at daycare, I may take him on to the after hours at the Pedi just to have him checked.

How is he today?

He seemed better this morning but he didn't poop before I took him to DC. So, I won't know if he said it again or acted like it hurt until I pick him up in a bit. Thanks for checking! I will let y'all know!

JA booty update: it seems to not hurt him today. Still a little red but the extra strength butt paste seems to be helping! His daycare lady said he did poop but didn't cry or say it hurt today. So glad it is ok now. I wouldn't want him to end up holding it like some other J12ers have when their bottoms hurt... that whole digging the poop out from a constipated baby is a Mom experience I hope I miss!
