|
20:25:49 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
thanks! and to you! |
|
20:26:04 |
TurboClaudia |
we had a busy christmas/ new year's
holiday visiting all the fam on the east
coast. |
|
20:26:36 |
TurboClaudia |
some craziness, especially on the trip
back home, so we are glad to be home but
missing our families but realizing we
just don't fit into that locale anymore |
|
20:26:41 |
TurboClaudia |
how about you? |
|
20:27:02 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, that's a hard realization isn't
it? |
|
20:27:07 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
fine..... |
|
20:27:11 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
how many babies do you hvae? |
|
20:27:16 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
sorry I forget :) |
|
20:27:45 |
TurboClaudia |
just the one, he's 19 months now |
|
20:28:28 |
TurboClaudia |
but we met his new 5 month old baby
cousin boys (twinnies!) and then the
cousins were over (6 yo g, 6 yo b, 7 yo
g, 8yo g, 12 yo b) |
|
20:28:34 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
what a great age.... |
|
20:28:36 |
TurboClaudia |
that day was madness! |
|
20:28:53 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
you mean FUN!! |
|
20:28:57 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I love kid madness! |
|
20:29:07 |
TurboClaudia |
(and i hate to say this, but his 5 mo
old cousins were not very cute... :( |
|
20:29:22 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
hahahaha! |
|
20:29:31 |
TurboClaudia |
it's like sad and funny and cute and the
same time... |
|
20:29:32 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
'precious' is the word to use :) |
|
20:29:33 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
ha |
|
20:29:38 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah... |
|
20:29:43 |
TurboClaudia |
yes, precious... i';ll have to remember
that |
|
20:30:04 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
my least cute baby turned into the
cutest toddler....so there's hope... |
|
20:30:12 |
TurboClaudia |
i actually have a diapering question for
ya... |
|
20:30:18 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
K!! |
|
20:30:22 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
that's what I;'m here for! |
|
20:30:23 |
TurboClaudia |
oh good... i was worried for them... |
|
20:30:38 |
TurboClaudia |
honestly, i was. i didn't want our son
to be the only cute grandchild. |
|
20:30:50 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
how selfless! |
|
20:30:53 |
TurboClaudia |
hang on a sec... my little guy is
banging his head on the table on
purpose... |
|
20:31:56 |
TurboClaudia |
he really really wants to have a
conversation with me RIGHT now. :D |
|
20:32:40 |
TurboClaudia |
i'm not really that shallow when i say
that about their babies... i mean, all
babies are precious. that sounds so
horrible when i say that... |
|
20:32:51 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
no it doesn't |
|
20:33:07 |
TurboClaudia |
anyway, diaper question. |
|
20:33:16 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I really meant that you were
selfless....most mommies would WANT
their babies to be the cutest
grandkids...I heard the sincerity! |
|
20:33:54 |
TurboClaudia |
oh no! i couldn't deal with all the
stuff they would send him if he were the
cutest grandchild! we barely have the
space to put the stuff they get us now! |
|
20:34:07 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
hahahahaha!!! |
|
20:34:10 |
TurboClaudia |
it's seriously crazy the amount of stuff
they got him for christmas. |
|
20:34:18 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
what love!! |
|
20:34:27 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
what's your diapering question? |
|
20:35:07 |
TurboClaudia |
we left home with 3 suitcases, zipped
down in the small positions, and we came
home with those 3 suitcases, zipped out
to the max and stuffed, a brand new
duffle bag filled with stuff AND an
entire rubbermaid tub filled with only
the toys they bought him. |
|
20:35:51 |
TurboClaudia |
serious losing of the brains from the
families. (mostly bill's family, since
we are going on vacation with my family
at the end of feb as our present.) |
|
20:35:54 |
mikesgirl64 |
hi :) |
|
20:36:06 |
TurboClaudia |
hi mikesgirl! welcome |
|
20:36:16 |
TurboClaudia |
okay, my diapering question: |
|
20:36:30 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
well hello mandy! |
|
20:36:52 |
mikesgirl64 |
hiya :) |
|
20:37:05 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I'm so glad you two could
come...hopefully jennifer can chat
too....eventually....since I forgot to
mention the url in the promotions
(mommychats) I really thought no one
would be here. |
|
20:37:19 |
TurboClaudia |
so while we were on christmas holidays,
we used sposies because of space packing
reasons and also because i could only
anticipate germophobia from bill's mom
when we were at their house. |
|
20:37:37 |
TurboClaudia |
and the bum rash that had been plaguing
the little man finally cleared up. |
|
20:37:41 |
mikesgirl64 |
oh i remebered i normally forget bc im
watchin the oc but they moved it to 9 |
|
20:37:54 |
mikesgirl64 |
so i settled in to nurse and chat :) |
|
20:37:56 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
oh good mandy!! |
|
20:38:11 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
sorry to hear about he sposie rash!! |
|
20:38:29 |
TurboClaudia |
and now we've been back about a week and
using our cloth again, and the bum rash
is back. i did a vinegar rinse to get
rid of any yeasties. |
|
20:38:43 |
mikesgirl64 |
have you tried any tre tea oil |
|
20:38:48 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
probably urine burn? |
|
20:38:50 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
bright red? |
|
20:38:55 |
TurboClaudia |
oh, sorry, no it was apparently our
cloth that was causing the bum rash |
|
20:39:00 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
that happens when you switch back and
forth... |
|
20:39:20 |
TurboClaudia |
bright red/ pink with sores that appear
and then become open ones. |
|
20:39:23 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
baby's skin forgets what it's like to
have ammonia against it... |
|
20:39:28 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
use fleece liners for a bit... |
|
20:39:31 |
z2akids |
I'm back for a few. |
|
20:39:36 |
TurboClaudia |
so now i'm also using microfleece liners
to keep his bum dry |
|
20:39:44 |
mikesgirl64 |
i know a few drops of oil in my rinse
helps kill stuff too |
|
20:39:47 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
welcome jennifer!!! |
|
20:39:52 |
mikesgirl64 |
oh i pmed you jennifer |
|
20:39:57 |
z2akids |
No problem |
|
20:40:00 |
TurboClaudia |
we use a detergent from melaleuca that
has tea tree oil in it already |
|
20:40:07 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I know it's a busy time of day for
mommies....this time really
stinks....it's when *I* am the busiest
too!!! |
|
20:40:21 |
z2akids |
Can't you get anything later or earlier? |
|
20:40:34 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
doing homework with teh 10 yo right now
with the 2 yo on one knee |
|
20:40:41 |
TurboClaudia |
(:bag: we're doing take out indian food
for dinner tonight... it is a bad time,
generally...) |
|
20:40:44 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
the 7 yo is very temporarily watching
the baby... |
|
20:40:47 |
mikesgirl64 |
yikes rebecca :) |
|
20:41:19 |
mikesgirl64 |
we didnt do dinner we tend to not which
makes me super hungry there is just no
time |
|
20:41:28 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah maybe it's not ammonia burn
then... |
|
20:41:32 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
open sores, ick!! |
|
20:41:42 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
make sure you aren't dealing with
yeast... |
|
20:41:48 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
allow tons of naked time too.... |
|
20:41:50 |
TurboClaudia |
anything else i might try to help get
rid of the bum rash? it obviously hurts
him 'cause he gets very upset when he's
up on the changing table... |
|
20:42:01 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
may even learn how it all works... |
|
20:42:05 |
z2akids |
poor little one |
|
20:42:21 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
poor thing, just be gentle....what
ointment ar eyou using? |
|
20:42:50 |
mikesgirl64 |
poor guy are you using any rash creams? |
|
20:42:51 |
TurboClaudia |
weleda diaper cream. (it;s got
calendula and some zinc oxide in it) |
|
20:42:53 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I really like badger balm from burts
bees, very gentle... |
|
20:43:01 |
mikesgirl64 |
i love burts |
|
20:43:11 |
TurboClaudia |
hmm... maybe i'll get some badger. i
just saw it at the health food store... |
|
20:43:39 |
TurboClaudia |
as for the yeast, what else other than a
half cup of white vinegar to the final
diaper rinse? |
|
20:43:46 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, it's good, aloe vera, E and olive
oil. |
|
20:43:58 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
do you think it's yeast? |
|
20:44:03 |
z2akids |
Our worst rashes are usually yeast. |
|
20:44:21 |
TurboClaudia |
i have some liquid grapefruit seed
extract diluted in water which i can try
for wiping, too. |
|
20:44:28 |
z2akids |
I keep a tube of lotramin around and I
usually try that before regular diaper
creams |
|
20:44:35 |
TurboClaudia |
i really have no idea if it is yeast |
|
20:44:41 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, and maybe since he's had it so
long, it sure could be!! and in those
hot sposies would increase the chances!
ugh. |
|
20:44:43 |
z2akids |
If it's yeasty, that'll really clear it
up quickly |
|
20:44:59 |
mikesgirl64 |
i agree |
|
20:45:27 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
you mean the vinegar rinse? |
|
20:45:46 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeast----localized, and feels 'leathery'
to the touch..... |
|
20:45:58 |
z2akids |
I mean if it's yeasty it'll clear up
quickly with lotramin |
|
20:45:59 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
diaper rash---pimmply and random |
|
20:46:04 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
both can crack and bleed... |
|
20:46:09 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
both need tons of air... |
|
20:46:19 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
other than that you treat them VERY
differently... |
|
20:46:29 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
barrier creams for rash and antifungals
for yeast. |
|
20:46:45 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I've had to do both on one diaper area
at one time.... |
|
20:46:46 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
tricky |
|
20:46:54 |
TurboClaudia |
hmmm... that doesn't sound like it. |
|
20:47:14 |
z2akids |
I figure when it's bad and I'm not sure,
I try for the yeast first because that
shoes a quicker improvement. If no
improvement after a cuople of changes,
then I move on to barrier creams |
|
20:47:41 |
TurboClaudia |
it's literally spots (usually about
pinky nail sized) where the skin sloughs
away from the wetness and then it's a
sore. |
|
20:47:48 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
welcome to momyof2girls! |
|
20:47:51 |
mommyof2girls |
HI |
|
20:48:08 |
z2akids |
hello |
|
20:48:12 |
TurboClaudia |
hi mommyof2girls |
|
20:48:16 |
mikesgirl64 |
hmmm...do you use fleece? |
|
20:48:23 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
good thinking jennifer |
|
20:48:37 |
TurboClaudia |
i have microfleece liners |
|
20:48:44 |
mommyof2girls |
what is the topic? |
|
20:48:49 |
mommyof2girls |
well, beside CD's |
|
20:48:49 |
z2akids |
rash :( |
|
20:48:54 |
mommyof2girls |
Ahhhh |
|
20:49:00 |
mommyof2girls |
poor baby |
|
20:49:05 |
TurboClaudia |
but before when he had the rash, i
wasn't using the microfleece liners |
|
20:49:25 |
mommyof2girls |
have you tried those rice paper liners? |
|
20:49:57 |
TurboClaudia |
i was going to try and find some of
those this week. there are a couple of
cloth diaper stores here locally that i
was going to call and then go visit |
|
20:50:04 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
sounds like diaper rash.... |
|
20:50:11 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
just have him be naked for a whole day
:) |
|
20:50:19 |
TurboClaudia |
he also has major poop ;cause he;s a big
eater so those would be nice |
|
20:50:41 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah liners are probably a good idea |
|
20:50:43 |
TurboClaudia |
well, he loves being naked, that's for
sure. :D |
|
20:50:56 |
mommyof2girls |
Emma isn't a fan of food, so we still
have the breastfed poo |
|
20:50:59 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
all kids do! |
|
20:51:05 |
mommyof2girls |
but she stained my new Swaddlebees
today! |
|
20:51:11 |
z2akids |
awww |
|
20:51:15 |
TurboClaudia |
oh no! |
|
20:51:16 |
z2akids |
sun sun and more sun |
|
20:51:26 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yup :) |
|
20:51:30 |
mommyof2girls |
it was cloudy here today! |
|
20:51:37 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
who's loving their swaddlebees? |
|
20:51:39 |
TurboClaudia |
unless you live in oregon or washington,
where you have to wait for summer to sun
things out... ha ha ha... |
|
20:51:41 |
z2akids |
even on cloudy days I put mine out |
|
20:51:45 |
mommyof2girls |
there is nowhere for me to lay it down |
|
20:51:49 |
mikesgirl64 |
i havent sunned diapers yet |
|
20:52:04 |
z2akids |
Oh, it works miracles. I put some out
in the snow the other day. lol |
|
20:52:06 |
mikesgirl64 |
i want to though i have som stains |
|
20:52:08 |
mommyof2girls |
i love swaddlebees |
|
20:52:12 |
TurboClaudia |
thanks for the ideas, mamas... i'll keep
you updated on the sore/rash bum. |
|
20:52:20 |
z2akids |
I wound up rewashing them because it was
semi dirty out there, but no stains. |
|
20:52:38 |
mommyof2girls |
how long do you have to leave them in
the sun for? |
|
20:52:40 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
speaking of pooping, just had to put
Colton on the toilet... |
|
20:53:03 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
do you live there claudia? |
|
20:53:03 |
z2akids |
I leae them out until they are dry or
the stain is gone. A few hours on a
sunny day |
|
20:53:24 |
z2akids |
If they dry before the stain is out, I
rewet them and put them back out |
|
20:53:43 |
mommyof2girls |
oh..so they need to be wet to sun
bleach? |
|
20:53:46 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
and like she said, it even works on a
cloudy day... |
|
20:54:13 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I think so...works better anyway. |
|
20:54:14 |
z2akids |
Yes. But, you can do it in winter - the
sun doesn't have to dry them to work |
|
20:54:26 |
mikesgirl64 |
i wonder if i can take mine to the
tanning bed? |
|
20:54:37 |
z2akids |
that's too funny. |
|
20:54:39 |
mikesgirl64 |
i dont know where to put them outside
haha |
|
20:54:48 |
TurboClaudia |
omigosh, my son is so cute... he has
this new puzzle book and he put all the
animals back in the correct spots... so
cute and proud of himself... |
|
20:54:48 |
z2akids |
I was thinking about grow lights
actually. |
|
20:54:51 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
now that's a thought! Can I get a pic
of you going to the salaon with an
armful of wet diapers? |
|
20:54:57 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
let us know if it works! |
|
20:54:59 |
mikesgirl64 |
haha |
|
20:55:18 |
mikesgirl64 |

|
20:55:20 |
host_Cuddlebaby |

|
20:55:46 |
