"Real" Diapers...

I am really careful when I use the word NEVER...it is a very STRONG word. I especially don't like to use it when talking about things I will NEVER do. Most of the time I get proved wrong. Well it has happened...Syd is wearing "real" diapers. 

Ok, first let me say, they aren't as bad as I thought they would be. Also, she looks adorable in them! 

So here's the story...

About 3 weeks ago we started Syd on some antibiotics, they were supposed to keep her from getting an ear infection. Poor baby, her first day on the antibiotics she got diarrhea, and a gnarly diaper rash. Honestly I can't even explain how horrible this rash was. It was painful for me to even look at it. She would start crying as soon as I walked towards the changing table. I stuck with the antibiotics for a week(hoping that she would get used to them), but when the rash wasn't getting any better and diarrhea wasn't going away, I stopped the antibiotics. I took her to Dr. Cooper, he prescribed a cream and said she needed to be in "real" diapers until the rash goes away. Thankfully Syd stays with my Aunt Darlene, who having used real diapers on her son agreed to use them with Syd. 

Now we are kind of at a face off...no more diarrhea, but the rash remains. It gets better and then worse...no rhyme or reason. We have stopped using wipes(they just rub her raw) all together. We are getting it figured out, she doesn't scream bloody murder when we change her now, so we are making progress just slowly.

I guess until we get it all figured out we will have to keep sweet girl in "real diapers looking all cute and innocent... 

Side note...She has stood for a few seconds without holding on to anything! Maybe we can have her walking and potty trained before she's a year old...just kidding...I want her to stay a baby as long as possible!!
