I can not get Allyson's diaper rash/ yeast infection under control. She has had it since April when she started sleeping through the night and not getting a diaper change in the middle of the night. I have tried different diapers and different creams including a prescription. I change her frequently especially when the rash is having a bad day because she cries when she goes (it has to be extremely painful) so I know it is time to change her. Due to the hatred of water that she has always had she does not get many actual baths. She gets a daily sponge bath kind of wash down. Now could it be that because she is not soaking her bum in the bath on a daily basis she is not getting clean enough to get rid of this infection? Is her skin just extra sensitive? Was it the change in diet, it started about the time I stopped nursing? hmm we have seen a walk-in clinic doctor about it and we see her regular doctor in a few weeks and will discuss it more then. Until then lots of diaper changes and creams.
Just reading some old posts and the rash start from diarrhea caused by dairy yogurt...

My kids have always had really sensitive tummys especially as babies, milk, formula, rice cereal never agreed with them and yes, the yogart was horrible for the diaper rash. (They all besides Bre have grown out of the dairy intolerance.) Not sure if you've tried an antifungal but when our girls would get a bad diaper rash/yeast infection whatever it would be, I'd use an antifungal (over the counter, the 1% or whatever it is used for athletes foot, a freind refered us to it and it always worked great.) It'd usually take it away really fast and never last longer than a few days. If u haven't tried it, you should...those rashes are so painful and sad for the little ones. Good luck.
