sniffles and rash

Hannah had a quick Dr appointment today to check out her persistent runny nose, and her more persistent diaper rash. The nose is apparently nothing to worry about - cold or allergies - unless she has more symptoms develop. The rash however was a bigger concern.

We are now using nothing with fragrance on Hannah. No more bubble baths, no more scented lotion, only Dove fragrance free soap. No Pampers (have fragrance) or Huggies, no commercial wipes. We are using only cloth or gDiapers on her and wiping with wet washcloths. And we are doing as much naked time as possible. I try to give her a few minutes at least with every diaper change. Just since yesterday the redness has decreased. Hopefully this works cause my baby's bottom looked painful!

We didn't get a length, but Hannah weighed exactly 20lbs! That's significant because it means that as over 1 year and 20lbs we can legally turn her car seat around. We won't though, because with a body in the 10-20% range and head in the 75% she's even more top heavy than most toddlers and we don't want any whip lash. So Hannah will be looking backwards a while longer.
