I have a 7 month old dcb in my care. Now, from day 1, he spits ups about 1/2 his bottle. I have told the mom about this and how my son did the same, but we switched him to soy based and after that he kept his formula down. I'm not saying he never spit anything back up, but the majority stayed down. She is still using the same brand and type of formula. I wasn't saying she had to use what I did, I was just offering what wokred for my son. Sometimes you have to try different brands and type of formula to find what works best for your child. Her son is small. (Which is nothing new, her daugher and nephew are also small) He just recently got out of 0-3 months clothes.
Over the summer he had redness on his tushy. Being that it was summer I figured the heat might have played a part in that. The only time my kids had diaper rash was in the summer. For my daughter, I used a wet washcloth, that seemed to give her less pain than with a baby wipe. Well, this boy is still red. Monday he was here and it the whole area was fire engine red. They do put Butt paste on it. but they use like 1/2 the tube at a time. NO kidding. I always wipe it off and put on baby powder. Tuesday the kids weren't here. But yesterday, it was still red, but now he has a sore the size of a dime. It looks like its open. I feel really bad for him. I use a wet washcloth on him. When they are here 4-5 days aweek, by the end of the week, he's looking better. but come monday or their first day back with me, it's red all over again. It appears he is not being changed as often as he should be. What do I do? Whatever I say to Mom falls on deaf ears.
