Andrew has a bad diaper rash. This is the first time he's been more than just a touch red. I'm not sure what it's from, but I think it's either a reaction to baked beans, which he had for the first time on Tuesday, or I let him sit poopy too long. He pooped at a weird time and I didn't know it and couldn't smell it, so it may have been up to 1.5 hours before he was changed :(. I feel so bad.
Anyway, it started yesterday afternoon. It's quite red still and this morning is a bit rough feeling. It doesn't seem to bother him when I touch it. Right now, he's napping in just a prefold (no cover).
My question is on the creams. If I let him run around naked, do I still put a cream on him? Do the creams actually help the rash, or just make a barrier so they don't get worse.
Next question. We're going out of town later today. Normally, I stick him in a sposie while I do diaper laundry so that I don't start with dirty diapers. Would a sposie make it worse? Normally, he doesn't mind them, but it's been months since he's worn one.
Off to look for the Triple Paste. Andrew likes to hide them on me.
