i fill like such a bad mom

I have a suggestion that may help. You may also have hard water. The house we moved into has hard water and we found out the hardway. My children, too, have very dry skin, after a week at the new house the poor babies looked like they had scales. And no amount of lotion would help. The doctor did thousands of tests only to find we have hard water. Another solution is that he may be allergic to the soap products you are using in laundry. It may just be that he has sensitive skin and he needs to be sponged bathed every other night and regular bath 2-3 times a week. I am a medical assistant and these would be the suggestions I would give. It could all boil down to he's a boy and boys get rashes and yeast down there just because. ALl of these solutions are simple. I would begin with thinking about the products you have used as to when this all began or if you or your brother tried something new that he hasnt used. I hope it helped! Good Luck!dl

You shouldnt feel like a bad mom, stuff like that happends you know. Like your husband said. I would just try and keep it real dry and possibly put some ointment on it. mabey that will help. im not sure. then if it gets any worse just take him in for a check up:) But no you shouldnt feel like a bad mom.. we are not perfect. no matter what anyone thinks lol.

Sometimes us moms have so much on our plates and giving a child a bath every other day is fine. I have done may minor things regarding my children that I feel awful about, for exaple: not making them wear chapstick and now their lips hurt or not brushing their hair the correct way and kids made fun of them that day. We all make minor mistakes and as a mom of twins, I say that their is not enough time in a day to get everything done at once.

You shouldn't feel like a bad mom - it was't your fault - some people have more sensitive skin than others. Bathing normally dries skin out. I would reccommend putting lotion, vaseline, or aquaphor on his skin.

No Dear , You are not a bad mom at all. You never knew that was how it is with your hubby. If you had known you would surely have been very careful.. No one is careless when it comes to their Babies problem. Even after they grow up we feel that they are our babies Right... What you can do about the dryness is to apply coconut oil before bath and massage it well there and if you feel through out the body. That will clear him of his skin affection. Even your husband can use this if he likes. Coconut oil is a very good medicine for the skin problems... Try it out and tell me..

Also, my sister puts diaper rash cream on them when this happens. It always works and heals the redness. The redness can be caused by the rubbing of the diaper on the skin as well. Sometimes my sister would let them roam without one on for an hour, only around the house of course. Also, sometimes, when my niese gets really bad, my sister soaks her in a cool bath. That seems to ease the rawness that they have. I would definitely try the diaper rash cream though. I hope this helps some....

You're not a bad mom, you are just obviously new at this. Lotions and body oils are good for your skin and in the same way are good for your childs skin. You can also put a little bath oil, body oil, or baby oil in the bathwater with him to keep his skin emulsified and supple. Children definitely need to be cleaned. Especially when they are boys. Boys tend to get in a lot more stuff than girls and thus need more hand washing and better washing habitrs in general.

Making a mistake like this doesn't make you a bad mom. You can't help what you don't know. So now you know and will take care of it. I did a terrible thing to my son when he was a baby. I wanted hie diapers to be pretty and white so I washed them in bleach. I guess I didn't get all the bleach out because he developed huge blister on his bottom. my aunt gave me some noxemia, You know the cream for your face. It cleared those blister right up. We all make mistakes but that doesn't make us bad moms.

You should not feel bad at all. You can not control what others do. The next time your child spends the night at your brothers tell him to make sure and give your child a bath. But do not blame yourself it is not your fault.

Don't feel bad floramwaters, you are not a bad mom. If its the first time you have ever seen something like that then its just a matter of finding out how to make it all better again. You can always talk to your doctor or local pharmacist and find out what lotion works to clear it.

No!!! This used to happen to my nephew when he was a baby and it still happens sometimes with my niese. I know my sister is a great mom. Babies skins are more sensative than ours. It's not your fault...

Your not a bad mom. If he was in your care he would have gotten a bath. And theres some that chap even if they bath everyday. I have found that hydrocortizone works really good for chaped skin.
