How old is your baby? Is she on formula
or breast milk?
Either she is allergic to something you
are eating (usulaay milk and cheese are
the culprits), has a stomach flu (which is
a little unlikely) or you need to switch
formulas (she might be lactose intolerant
or need a soy formula). You need to
contact your doctor/pediatrician about
this as well.

And for the diaper rash...make sure you
change the diaper immediately after being
soiled..and frequently thereafter and do
NOT use creams or ointments...these will
just keep the rash moist and moist is what
feeds the bacteria.
Use Baby Powder WITH CORNSTARCH...and use
it EVERY TIME you change the diaper...you
HAVE to keep the area DRY for the rash to
clear up.
When my little guy gets the beginnings of
a rash I pour on the cornstarch powder and
change his diaper every 2 to 3 hours. If
I do this, within 24 hours the rash will
be almost gone..and it will NOT be red
anymore.
I guarantee if you use powder with
cornstarch to keep the area dry and NOT
use anything else, the rash will be better
within 24 hours.
Hope you find out what is making your
little one have the diarrhea.
Susie.
