Speakin of Zinka, how cool would it be to sooth your infant's genitals with some hot pink, dayglo green, bright orange, or Sun Yellow?

We didnt use desitin on our kids much anyway. I can't remember what we used, but we changed diapers so many times a day, we almost never had any issues of diaper rash. I think that is the key. Change the diapers all the time.

With our first child we were young and into the natural way to raise kids, bklah, blah blah, and we used cloth diapers becasue they were supposed to be better fo rthe kid and the envioronment. This led to too many blowouts and lots of diaper rash. With kids 2 and 3 we quit the cloth diapers and used disposable. Voila, no blowouts and almost no diaper rash. Plus, we learned disposable is probably better for the environment on balance (assuming you fully clean the cloth ones).

Flash actually did this to my unwitting son. How Flash didn't notice that the tube was clearly labled DESITIN is something I fail to comprehend. Anyhow, the poor kid brushed for the full two minutes before coming back to me and saying, "Mom, I really really don't like daddy's toothpaste."

My kids all have really sensitive skin that is easily irritated. We have to use Desitin every diaper change to prevent a rash. And the A & D ointment and butt paste and all the other stuff doesn't work. It's got to be Desitin.

Blech! That is awful.

I can understand how he didn't notice. He has probably never been asked to supervise teeth brushing again.

For a couple of my kids, that task was somehow much harder than I ever thought it would be.

Jeff refuses to let daddy anywhere near his toothbrush now. (We never told him the truth. I don't think he'd ever brush his teeth again if we did. We just told him that daddy uses medicine toothpaste for his bad breath.)

That is the cruelest mistake i've ever heard. Dad has no taste Mom.

You have a point. Are you sure it was unintentional on Flash's part?

You realize that this story isnt helping anything at all.

Now for sure I will never ever brush my teeth again.

Yeah, sorry...didnt mean to suggest that it was a cure-all. Only that it worked for us.

I get a kick out of the little toddlers we see that are walking around wearing a puffed-out life vest around their groin. The parents want to get as much urine in that thing before they change it. And then they wonder why the kid has a rash.

Speaking of calling things by their real name, I always used alternate terms to describe changing diapers. I found it silly to say "poopy diaper." When my kids needed their diapers changed, we called it a "Puffy Check" and when they had a poopy diaper, they were "Dunged up"..because their diaper was filled with dung, of course. Nothing like kids in the nursery telling their teacher that they were "dungy" or "puffy" Now that I think about it, puffy checks were fun. they would get all excited when it was time for a puffy check.

My band for the game Rock Band is called Puffy Check.
