Poor Jean :-( (by alaric)
Jean's been quite snuffly after her last round of jabs, so we were feeling sorry for her anyway, but this morning when I changed her she had really nasty nappy rash, and the elastic edge of her nappy was folded inwards rather than out - which happened to go right through the sore area and irritate it, causing it to bleed slightly 🙁
This, combined with her snuffliness, worried the nursery too much, so they rung us up to take her home again today, and I've been rubbing antiseptic ointment into her sores whenever I've changed her since, to help it heal cleanly, and washing them with cotton wool and water rather than baby wipes (because I bet they'd sting on a sore...)
Still, as usual, she is in good sprits, laughing and smiling and playing! She wails when I change her and clean the sores, but soon cheers up when she's back in a fresh nappy 🙂

Try letting her knock about with no nappy on just after she's wee'd / poo'd? Aerating does wonders round the bum.
