My 5.5 month old has had diarrhea for the past 3 days and has become very raw on his bottom from it. I have been putting aveeno diaper rash and a&d with zinc/aloe and cornstarch and nothing is helping, his butt is so sore he screams and stiffens when I change him and it takes his breath away. I took him to the doctor and she gave me yeast meds, but their not helping either. I don’t know what else to do! I’m not using baby wipes just warm water and cloth. I’m giving him plenty of diaper free time and I also change him as soon as it comes out. Please help, if you know anything that will work.

I gave my son juice without realizing it had banana’s in it, which he is allergic to. Not a severe allergy but he does get diarrhea and diaper rash from it. Anyways, he has VERY bad diaper rash. I have been using baby powder on it but wanted to see if anyone has any other ideas. Its breaking my heart to see him like this.
1. I hate using creams. Every time he wets himself and I change his diaper its really painful for him when I have to wipe off the cream &/or diarrhea.
2. I tried letting him go diaper-free. It lasted about 3 minuets before he peed on the carpet twice.

I mean, if he’s lactose intolerant, we would’ve found out about it a long time ago, wouldn’t we?
Can he suddenly be lactose intolerant?
And does it make any sense to stop breastfeeding and use lactose free formula?
