Sore bottom
Sara is 6 months and for the past 48 hrs has been having all the classic teeething symptoms, which I'm pretty sure this is too but just thought I'd pick your brains! Since about lunchtime I've noticed that she's had a bit of a red bottom, with some tiny spots surrounding...do you think this would be from her teeth or maybe the heat or a combination of both? - I realise not that it actually matters!
Secondly, what should I put on it? We had about an hour nappy off time this afternoon, and then I've put on some weleda callendula nappy cream this evening before bed. I was also thinking that if she wakes during the night I'd change her nappy too - entirely likely is we have a repeat of last night! We don't use wipes when she's changed, we've got reusable wipes that just have water on them and I let her air-dry.
Is there anything else I can be doing for her?
My poor baby, as if teeth aren't enough to deal with!

a good tip i was given was to use aston and parsons powders that you put in their mouth as it nutralises the poo and wee or something like that which can break down the skin.
it sounds like your doing all that you can from home. if its no better in a few days, give your HV a ring
Her wee bottom is looking a little better today, less spotty so fingers crossed we're on the mend.
Thanks again for your replies xxx
