Momma's Secrets #74
Meconium and breastmilk are acidic. They can cause the skin on your babies bottom to break down. To prevent this:
Mix together A&D Ointment and Maalox/Mylanta (original flavor) and use as a cream on your babies bottom. The A&D coats and heals. The antacid nutralizes the acid.
Recipe:
1 tube A&D ointment
1 small bottle antacid
Squeeze the ointment into a small dish. Heat the ointment in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time until it is just beginning to melt. Add antacid a little at a time and mix well until you reach a substance with the consistancy of a nice rich cream. If you get it too thin because of too much antacid you can add some vaseline to it.
This makes the best cream for your babies bottom. It works better than any of the zinc creams or butt pastes.
My mother has been here visiting. She left yesterday. I'll post Steven's birth story either this evening or tomorrow.
We are doing fine. He had his well baby check-up yesterday. Everything is perfect.
Here is some yumminess to feast on in the mean time.
My Valentine

OK, so maybe you do have the cutest Valentine! Awww!
He is so healthy looking! A wonderful baby Valentine. That sounds like a great rememdy for diaper rash, no matter what the cause. Hope you enjoyed the time with your Mom. Kiss that sweet little boy for me, and tell us, soon, how his sisters are responding to his presence.
Awww what a great Valentine's prezzie!! He's beautiful and that recipe works like a charm!
Your son is beautiful. Love that fuzzy head. I'm thinking about you every day.
shhhh... mommy's tip #1, never wake a sleeping baby! (but make noise around him so he learns to sleep through it all!) Happy day of love and I'll be storing away that diaper rash tip for the future.
All I can say is "awwwwwwwww!" he's adorable. Makes me want to have another one!
I'm going to have to stop reading your site! LOL (j/k)
