Bum...

...so the littlest one has a bum rash. It's weird that when they cut teeth, they get a bum rash. There is no logical or medical reason this happens. My Doc told me many people have researched this and no one has ever found a concrete reason this happens....kinda weird. Anyways, out of the hundreds and thousands of Bum Creams out on the market today, the only thing that works on my little one is Corn Starch. Hard to believe that instead of spending oodles of money on various creams, all i'd have to do it go on the baking cupboard and get a teaspoon or two of Corn Starch. It dries it right out and is usually gone by the next diaper change. Works like magic so don't knock it till you try it. SOunds weird, but gotta trust Grandmere when she says the old remedies work. They usually do.

There's no Diaper Rash or Bum Cream songs to end this post....guess that's a topic most people don't sing about. Maybe we should write one...let's see....

"A little baby cries
and mommy runs to help
Those teeth, you can't deny
confirmed with a rash below the belt

Slap some cream on to ease the pain
and the baby yells some more
those creams are all so lame
so I drive him to the store

I walk to the special aile
and he smiles from ear to ear
he spots it from half a mile
corn starch, i'm gonna smear.

It's like magic, it's unreal
and my boy is just so happy
the bum rash disapeared
and now it's time for a nappy." - Lise Newell, Bum Rash Song
