Luke has the trotts and a red bum - is it teething
in Baby
He has been starting teething for a few months now, red checks, dribbling but for the past 2 weeks he has been having solids and was fine, nice smelly little lumps of poo tmi sorry!
Yesterday I gave him a bit of scrambled egg as mum suggested it and so did the AK book, he was not keen on it so he did not have much.
Got up this morning and he stunck of rotten egg, the nappy was horrendos slimey horrible mustard yellow, he was in a right mess for little chap, so thought it was the egg from yesterday, but since then he has had the rus 4 more times and also I think he was got nappy rash.
I have been reading on internet that it usually means a tooth is on it's way, he is not crying only when hungary and tired, he has a bit of a cold ie blocked snotty nose at night and in the morning.
Apart from that he is fine, for his tead tonight I would normally give him a veg puree and a fruit one but Mum said I should go with a rusk and baby porridge, he woofed that down, so certainly not off his food!
Your experienses most welcome.

in my experiance it could be teething,Lennon got pin prick like rash when really teething but it could also be from the egg before,if its really uspet him and as he poo'd its touched his bum its a bit like a reaction and can be there for a few days yet
i would say stay away from the egg for a bit yet and just wash him bum in warm water and cotten wool,and a good pat dry like you would when there little,then any cream you may have
hope thats a bit of help x
My LO (6months old) had this last weekend and after a visit to the walk in centre it turned out to be infectious gastroenteritis (contagious tummy bug). He had really smelly, watery runs and had a very sore, red raw bum but otherwise seemed fine in himself. We were advised to just clean with cotton wool & warm water and to apply a nappy rash cream (Metanium is good as butterfly mentioned). The nurse also said to put a thin layer of vaseline over the nappy rash cream to keep it waterproof but you have to be careful about putting too much on as it will affect the absorpancy of the nappy. We were told to avoid solids (we're weaning at the mo) and to stick to his usual milk and give him plain baby rice for a couple of days.
If it is a bug then it is contagious - hubby & I both got it last weekend too, not nice! The nurse did say there's loads of it going round and looking at status updates on facebook, half my friends have had it or got it!
