I think so. I don't even know the last time I painted my nails let alone trying to find time to get a sticker on straight!

I bought some jamberry nails for a fundraiser. A little girl in my older son's class at daycare is fighting brain cancer and they did it for her. That is the only way I would buy them. I did try them and they are cute, but they ruined my nails.

I let DD fuss for 10 minutes when she woke up, and she fell back asleep! Hopefully this nap is a good one. She's been pretty cranky lately

[becole]

I feel like I'm being very needy this week with all my questions so I keep putting them in different threads hoping you all won't notice ?. Here's another- he has what looks like a yeast infection on his butt from the antibiotic and diarrhea. I called the dr., they said to mix Lotrimin (like foot fungus stuff) with his desitin. The daycare lady told me to mix that stuff plus Maalox? To take care of the acid. Any ideas?

[krl52014]

Just curious ... Anyone know how much their LO's weigh? My DD is 17lbs. She is long and skinny

I don't know about the maalox, but lotrimon 2-3X  a day took care of DD's yeast. (mixed with her regular diaper cream)

[becole]

Did you just eyeball it? Mix it in a separate container? Just put both on?

[becole]

Also- would generic brands be okay? Or is this one time I need to buy the brand name?

[footloose]

DD came home from the hospital with a yeast rash and it got so bad and lasted 6 weeks. Had 2 different prescriptions, but I felt that air time with no diaper and putting some baking soda in her bath each night helped it finally clear up. Also, I used my hair dryer on low and dried her bum completely bedore putting on a new diaper. She actually loved it and would instantly stop crying and lay so still. The maalox did nothing for me.

[merrylove]

becole, DS had yeast and I just did a layer of lotrimin (a generic brand) with his regular diaper cream on top after every diaper change and it cleared right up. Maybe give him a probiotic, too, (orally) since he is on antibiotics; that might help with the diarrhea and certainly with the yeast.

She was 17,7 at her head check 2 weeks ago. Her 9 months is next week; we should do a 9 month stats thread (sorry Canadians).

[athn64]

I put the lotrimon on and then the diaper cream. And yes generic is fine.

You have a small girl too! Do you know her length?

We used lotrimin for a yeast rash too. We were told not more than 2x per day and do a thin layer, let him air out for a minute, then cover everything with triple paste.

Rodney fell and bumped his head. He's napping now so I hate to wake him but I'm debating having him checked out. I texted the pedi.

Check out the size of that bump!

yikes! poor guy. what did the pedi say?


I think generally bumps/goose eggs are ok. Dents are bad. And as long as he stops crying and wakes easily, it's not something you would need to bring him in for.

DD was 16lbs, 2oz a couple of weeks ago.  Her 9month appointment is on the 23rd.

We're very similar.. 17.5/18 lbs and a little above average in length. 

[becole]

That bump looks terrible. Poor baby.

[becole]

Maybe someone should start a 9 month check up thread? We have ours next week.

[footloose]

pistolpackinmomma Ouch! Poor kid. Always phone your pedi to put your mind at rest, but my foster son used to be so clumsy and fell all the time. He would get huge lumps as well, he looked like Fred Flintstone with those humongous goose eggs he had! It seemed to be the way he reacted to even small bumps and he grew out of it, thank god. Hope your son feels ok now

[athn64]

becole I was thinking we were needing one, but since DD's appointment isn't until the end of the month, I was waiting for someone else to start it.

Any suggestions on Pampers for chunky thighs?

DD moves up in diapers more so for her thighs than on her waist so next size is usually huge on her for a while until she catches up in weight.

What are you using now? My baby is 21 pounds and large thighs. We were using size 4 swaddlers. They fit on his belly, just have to make it tight.

Huggies here all the way for my chunky thigh guy

[Deleted]

This kid is farting so much.. He could inflate a yoga ball.

[activebaby]

We use huggies too. Still using snug and dry. Not sure when to move to little movers.
@pistolpaxkinmomma I hope Rodney is doing okay. That is quite an impressive lump

We just went to our 9 month appt last week. DS is 19 pounds and 27 inches. Shorty!!

DDs ear infection is not clearing up and has spread to the other ear so now we're waiting for a stronger antibiotic. 10-15 minutes is a looooong time to wait when you have to poop.

She hasn't answered me yet so I'm guessing it's not a big deal. I asked a nurse friend and she said it was ok. Bumps are good. He woke up a little and curled up on my lap before going back to sleep.

Hope he feels better soon! poor little guy.

What is he on? We're on Augmentin. Hence the diaper rash from hell.

Do we having blocking feature here? I wanna block someone.
