Back on the mend...

Weston finally seems to be feeling better.
He returned to daycare on Thursday, but his medicine, Augmenton, has caused him to have a horrific diaper rash. More than a rash, it's like a giant welt. The poor baby hurts every time we change his diaper. We've been using the Iowa staple of Bag Balm (not Udder Butter, but original farmer's balm.) The balm has stopped the progression, but hasn't healed anything. Our sitter (and my fount of endless knowledge) Kris told us to start dabbing his bottom with Milk of Magnesia to block the acid that is causing the welts. And then we bag balm over that, then diaper. So, I sent Scott to the store for the Milk... and he comes back with Milk of Magnesia (yea!) except he got the Cherry flavored (wtf?) yeah... my baby's bottom smells like a Cherry Poptart. And looks like one too.
To also help, we have been giving Weston baths. Alveeno Oatmeal-laced baths. Corn Starch baths... anything to help. So far... I don't know what good we are doing.

Any other homegrown ideas out there? I'll try anything at this point. Thanks!
