Sadie's sad sad diaper rash

Poor Sadie Grace had the worst case of diaper rash that I have ever witnessed before. It started out as a chapped little bottom because her skin was so pink at first that I couldn't tell that she had the first signs of diaper rash. I finally noticed it when Selena came to take her pictures and her little bum was up in the air! So I started treating it with aquaphor, thinking that if it was chapped then it would need some moisturizing. I am not sure histologically what happened after that, but tiny red blisters popped up everywhere, and then in the folds of her legs, the skin actually started to PEEL OFF. I had some major mom guilt because of it, but fortunately things are looking good, thanks to alot of creamy desitin and nightly baths and drying off in front of the space heater. Sadie loves to be warm, must run through the maternal side of the family!
