Not Just a Diaper Rash

{Beware folks. We're talkin' about bums here}

So PK got a bum rash. And to be completely explicit- 

it wasn't your ordinary rash. 

It was scabby, and bloody, and red--- all around.

It was BAD. 

 I tried creams, I bathed him, I let him run around with no diaper, I changed his diaper all. the. time. 

{Can you imagine a toddler with no diaper? It was FUN, let me tell ya}

He had no acidic foods, he had no new foods, I even considered an iodine bath after hearing that worked for my cousin.... 

and then- I did what any new mom would do. I broke down and called my grandma. 

For those of you who don't know- my grandma lives in my hometown so I grew up having her around. My grandma is awesome. I mean- my grandma is better than your grandma. 

{Yes, I did just say that!}

So what did she tell me to do? 

Use bag balm. This stuff was AMAZING! 

Even when he got diarrhea- which is every mom's worst nightmare- it prevailed! 

Bum rash- you've met your match. HA. 

Now that the rash is gone- and we're back to just standard diaper changes- I'm starting to feel pretty confident. I mean- if I can get rid of that bad of a diaper rash- I can do anything, right? 

I'm thinkin' potty training, back talking, toddler bed-- all those things I used to be scared of-- suddenly seem like cake. A walk in the park. NBD.
