Parenting Newborns & Infants (0-1) Support Group
Feeding your infant and ensuring they are getting enough nutrition is one of the most important aspects of parenting during that first year. This community is dedicated to those who are nurturing a baby, whether breastfed or formula-fed.
I must ask a billion and one questions on here.
I'm having some worries about my 3 month old daughter, but my family doctor has no openings until the new year, and I have tried to get her in walk-in three times, and all three time's we have not been able to be seen.
For the past three days everytime I change my little one's diaper she has pooped. Not alot, but it's green and sort of runny. And it is EVERY time. She must poop ten times a day! I don't know if this is normal!
I sure wish I could find a poop guide somewhere...does anyone know of one online that tells you what it's suppossed to look like at certain ages and after certain foods have been introduced? Her poor bum is turning red from the constant pooping...
Another question..what's a good daiper rash cream that's OTC since I can't get her into a doctor.

I would suggest something called Butt Paste (made by Boudreau's or something like that) for the rash.

You can use anything for everyday use...as long as you put something on. It is important to put a barrier on their little butts. We use Desitin if there is nothing wrong.
But if Lucas's butt is red we only use Triple Paste and actually we saw the Pediatrician today and thats exactly what she told us to get but we already were using it.
I am putting unflavored pedialyte into her formula bottles so that she doesn't get dehydrated.
I have no idea what this butt paste is...lol...we have no toys r us by us or anything of that sort. It's wal-mart or nothing.
I attempted to call this health link service the govt offers here, but they ask you about 40 minutes of questions to assess your situation, and then they tell you to take her to a doctor!
