My Kid Keeps Taking Off His Diaper!

Born for mischief

How do you stop a 1 1/2 or 2 year old from stripping off their clothes and diaper? I have heard of this happening with other kids but I was unprepared for it to start with my own little one. It started only a couple days ago and he seems to be playing up this little childhood phase with a vengeance. As soon as I put his diaper and clothes back on, they are off again. He begins pulling the straps off as soon as I turn my back.

I put overalls on him to try to confound his efforts to remove his clothes. It worked for a while and then later I found him running around in only his diaper and the overalls were in his sisters crib of all places. However, the diaper was still on so I don't know if getting the clothes off was so exhausting he forgot about the rest or what..

Does every kid go through this phase? What causes it? Can I prevent it in my daughter who will be about this age in another year or so?

Yeast and Thrush, a Mommy Nightmare

Acidophilus naturally fights yeast
in the digestive tract

There have been a few inquiries lately on what to do about baby thrush and yeast infections. Thrush is a type of yeast infection, and doctor's will normally prescribe Gentian Violet for this. It is messy and stains, and I prefer to use acidophilus as my first resort. Acidophilus is a bacteria naturally in your intestines which aids in digestion. It also fights the natural yeast population also present in your digestive tract.

Do Not Use Desitin

I have brought up this subject in other posts but I thought it might deserve its own post. First let me begin with my personal experience of this diaper ointment for babies.

When my son was born, he seemed to have a little pain when peeing, and being a new mom I wasn't sure about anything so I brought him into the local walk-in to have a doctor tell me what to do or if it was anything. Well, for one, it was my first experience with the walk-in clinic, and now I know. The doctor I got quickly made me conclude he knew less about infants than I did (and my friends and family's experience with that doc seem to correlate my conclusion).
