Baby Roll Help

[lakegirl]

Dd has leg rolls. Ds was a skinny chicken legged string bean. I need help. I noticed this morning that one of her leg rolls/creases (not her actual bits) in her diaper area is super red and shiny, almost raw looking, it's not bumpy. She locks her legs during changes which is making it tough to deal with the situation. Wetness irritation? Pee burn?!

What's the best course after cleaning and drying? Triple paste? Something more greasy like Aquaphor? My faithful coconut oil?

She has her two week appointment tomorrow so obviously I'll be consulting the doctor but what can I do for the poor little peanut today?

I use coconut oil on F's ouch bits unless it's really sore looking, and then use diaper cream.

Also check under her neck! I had a skinny baby last time too, so I'm not used to all the rolls. I found an ouchie looking spot there the other day

[silvermelody]

I'd start with Triple Paste unless it's going to get all over her clothes in that spot. If so I'd use Aquaphor.

Probably just red from not getting aired out. I'd think any of the above options would work fine for a first course.

I'm a fan of triple paste and airing the area out.

Diaper cream / triple paste. Let it breathe.

Be sure to dry it very well after bathtime

On this note... we used to do naked time with DD, but I'm sorta afraid to do it with DS. Those of you with boys, do they have more...range with their accidents? I'm so worried at every diaper change that I'm gonna get a fountain in the face.

Ds got it on the wall behind the changing table once. It went up over his head to hit the wall. So more height and then a couple feet. I put a small cloth over him.

I've actually had more accidents with dd. It just wells up and goes all over her clothes. Sighs.

We use olive oil

[otepoti]

ellabee, I've had very little in way of accidents with both boys, just have to be quick in changing them. F has peed on his face but we manage to get something over him before we have a fountain.

As for ouchies. After a bath we use a hair dryer on cool to help dry the bits and Bepanthen ointment/cream. That stuff is my go too for nappy issues.

That must be the Italian citizen's coconut oil! ;-)

ellabee L likes to walk around naked and then just pee. Just cause. He also likes to do it during changes now too. Because he can.

😑

As for ouchies, all of those options sound good! C has lots of rolls too I just try to dry them as well as I can and put coconut oil on them.
