Yesterday my friend Mary watched Charlie for me while I had an audition downtown. When I came to pick her up she mentioned Charlotte's diaper rash. (It was really bad for a while, mostly went away and is now on its way back. Blerg.) Mary mentioned that salt-baths really helped with her daughter when she had a similar rash. She said she would give her a quick sink-bath after each diaper change (now that's devotion!). Mary offered to give Charlie a salt bath in her sink (while simultaneously letting me use her American-style dryer. Such bliss!). Charlie clearly enjoyed herself!
I don't know that I could commit to doing this after every diaper change, but I will have to reconsider if her rash keeps up. The doctor has already checked it out once and confirmed that I was treating it correctly (it is a yeast rash, so not treated like a normal diaper rash). I just think I didn't continue the treatment as long as I should have. Since I'm reluctant to start another round of treatment until the doc sees her again, so I hope the salt-baths make a difference!
LOOK AT THOSE TEETH! so grown-up :)
