No MMA experience but I did have one of my 3 children who experienced bad diaper
rash and here are some suggestions-1) wash clothes and diapers with a really
mild
detergent and double rinse. One of my kids broke out in disposable diapers. 2)
change diapers frequently - especially bowel movements. 3) Let them go bare as
much as possible so the air can get at the area 4) feed them yogurt - the
live
bacteria may help replace the normal skin flora (same advice for post GI flu or
yeast infections - vaginal or oral thrush) 5) push water - if the urine and
bowel movements are less concentrated that may not eat at that skin so quick -
we give our kids way too much juice in this country - apple juice especially set
my son off 6) the maalox advice was great - we used to coat the bottoms of
our nursing home patients with that so they didn't break down when they got wet-
let it dry - try a hair dryer on cool setting. Hope some of this helps- good
luck!
