Poor little bum....

So, I thought maybe I'd try and be thrifty and save us like $10 every couple weeks and try Nolan out on some generic Wal-mart brand diapers...I mean, I'm all about the Great Value brand food, so I thought i'd give these 'Parents Choice' diapers a try, since they were half the price! Figured they would maybe not hold as much pee, but would be okay for throughout the day since he is changed every couple hours....boy, was I was wrong!

Put Nolan in one of the diapers at 7am and sent him off to daycare...by 8:15, his morning poop time, he already had a horrible diaper rash...less than 2 hours in these cheapo's!! I've heard of this happening to other kids before but didn't think it would happen to Nolan because he doesn't have sensitive skin or anything.

It is absolutely horrible and I feel so sorry for the poor boy because I can't do anything about it. Stuck him in the tub to soak after I picked him up and he just sobbed and wanted out (this kid LOVES baths and usually throws a fit when I try to get him out!)...tons of butt paste, powder, desitin, and it still looks absolutely awful. And to make it worse, he has had two poops tonight too.

Anyone have any amazing tips on getting rid of a bright red, miserably sore little bum??? My poor little baby :( THIS is when Mommyhood is really hard...I can deal with all of the fits, crying, etc. but not being able to help my baby when he is in pain is the worst! Makes me thankful though that he is healthy, and this is only temporary. I can't imagine what some mothers go through that children with a horrible illness....

Advice mommies...PLEASE!!! :(

On a happy note...I put together Nolan's battery operated four-wheeler, that my dad got him when he was 4 months old and he was loving it!!!!!!! Too bad we don't have more space though b/c he was getting a little ticked once he'd run into a wall or couch or something and was pushing the button and it wouldn't go anymore...

Sweet ride!!
