Diaper Rash & Yeast Infection

Sophie has diaper rash. Her skin at her bums is a little raw and I'm hoping it will heal in a day's time...poor girl. It must hurt.

I've been searching the websites and found some remedies on how to manage the situation a bit better. It gives me new information on diaper rash and I learnt a lot - could it be a yeast infection, could it be due to the new food that she is being introduced to at the infantcare centre, should I stop using the wet wipes as she may be sensitive to it?

Here's a picture of her standing in her baby cot at the infantcare centre. Please sprinkle some "Tinkerbell dust" over to cure her raw bottom!

oh poor thing! is it due to food allergies? Have got to change the diaper/air dry frequently too!
so cute, sophie looks like she has both u & SG's features! is she enjoying infantcare?

Fortunately, it's not the food allergy. It's just her frequent poo-poo over the weekend that caused it. It healed really fast.

So far, I think she is enjoying infantcare, but she sleeps shorter hours compared to when she is at home. I think it's the noise and distractions. We hope she gets used to it and shuts the noise out.
