Hi Moms!! I originally posted this on the health thread/forum of MDC, but wondering if any of you have had any experience or suggestions... THANKS!
My LO will be 5 months on Thursday and we've been battling several bouts of yeast rashes. This is rash #3 (first two were on his butt and treated with anti-fungal cream). The third rash started on his back, between his shoulder blades...ended up in his butt crack and above it, and on the bald spot on the back of his head. It just seems to spread. I've been treating with monistat 7 cream (per recommendation of dr.) 3x/day for the last two weeks, but as new spots keep arising, it's hard to keep track of how long I've been treating a particular area...
Why is he so susceptible to yeast? How can I prevent it? And, what do I need to do next, because it's driving me nuts!! I find it weird it's on his back side and wonder if the heat and humidity of the summer brings it from sitting and sweating in his carseat or sleeping...
