My DS's Butt
Just a lurker here, but I have a baby question that you ladies hopefully can answer. At my son's 9 month check-up the doc recommended that I begin to suppliment his fat intake with formula.
History: He has been breast fed since birth, but my supply is has decreased and he no longer gets very much. Nursing has become a nightly "comfort" thing instead of a food thing.
The doc gave me two containers of Enfagrow. It's a formula for older babies. I know nothing about formulas.
Anyway, DH and I are starting to see a very bright red patch of skin encircling his little #2 area. It doesn't seem to cause him pain, but it is there inside his crack area like an oval shape. He has never had anything like this before. I assume it is from the formula. Research I have done online states that it may be from a pH being too high.
My questions:
1. What creams can I use to help him?
2. Do I need to change formula brands?
3. Are there bath soaking treatments that we can use?
Thanks!
