My head wants to explode! Owww. I need some pseudoephedrine...bad. Might have to run out and get it. Luckily, Finn is being an angel today (so far at least). Maybe I can lay down and take a nap...or just lay down because it takes a lot of effort to hold my head up. And I thought it was just a little cold. Boo.
Finn LOVES baby food. I started giving it to him straight instead of mixing it with his cereal. Peas were the first ones he had by themselves. At first, he didn't know what to think and made the funniest faces. But then he ate the whole container! This morning, he ate a whole container of carrots! He LOVED the carrots. Is one whole container too much to give him at one time? I just don't have a clue about this "solid food" thing.
His butt was raw again last night after pooping. He really doesn't complain, but it look so sore. After his bath last night, I put on a "moisure barrier" cream that is supposed to keep wettness from sitting next to his skin. This morning, his little butt looked 95% better. Now if I can just remember to put it on before naps. The problem is that since he naps so long, if he poops, it can be in there for a couple hours...depending on when during his nap he pooped. Also, he wets through his diapers almost every night, so even though the diaper is supposed to keep the wetness away from his skin, it can't do that when it is saturated. Any suggestions about wetting through at night? He is in size 2 and they don't seem small. I could try size 2-3 to see if that changes anything.

that's great he's loving baby food! a whole container isn't too much. babies will let you know when they've had enough :)
i would suggest even skipping the 2-3 and go to 3's. We had the same problem. Jaleah was in 2's and they worked fine during the day, but she was soaked through clothes and sheets overnight. We switched to 3's and haven't had a problem since! It is one FULL diaper we take off in the morning, but at least no leaking through! It's actually better to have a diaper be bigger than smaller, you can always fold down the top and they contain blowouts better. How big is Finn? Jaleah is 15 pounds and 3's work great on her - we've been using them since she was 13 pounds.
Thanks for the suggestion! I think Finn is probably right around 15 pounds, too. I haven't weighed him recently, though. My friend Becky suggested the same thing! I just bought a package for 2-3's (they do have 2-3's in Pampers, Bec!), but when I get the chance to get 3's, he can just use the 2-3's during the day. I appreciate the feedback. I hate it when he is wet through. What a yucky feeling that must be.
Gavin had diaper rash issues too. Best cream ever is buddreaux butt paste, it has a cream that is different then destin so it dries out less. You could also try overnight diapers we had to do that at one point too because he would have blow outs. Good luck!
what diapers are you using? Dane pee'd through the swaddlers at night and pooped through them too, so I switched him to Pampers Baby Dry and he can fill those puppies up with pee till the diaper weighs more than him! THey contain his poop really well too. He wears size three....Oh, and I heard Kirkland Brand (costco) are really good diapers too....we plan on getting some so I will let you know how they work out.
