Help? Baby has fiberglass diaper rash! Sitters husband works construction & showered in same tub as babybath?


Baby has terrible diaper rash now all of a sudden and she thinks it is from fiberglass in the tub after her husband showered after construction job- baby is very uncomfortable and keeps trying to pull at her diaper- I have been putting neosporin & diaper rash ointment- what else can I do? Please help- thank you

The baby needs to see a doctor if the rash is due to fiberglass. Fiberglass is needle like splinters of glass and can cause serious problems.

I would call the doctor on that.

If you think there is a possibility of fiberglass, I would call the doctor!

Dear concern mom.
Chances are there is no problem what so ever but to be on the safe side bath the baby at home in clear water for 15 minutes. If the baby becomes more irritable then normal take the baby to the ER

I know its everyones least favorite answer...but if another bath (somewhere clear of fiber glass) and then different creams seems to make no difference, i have to say go to a doctor. While fiberglass is far from life threatening (just really anyoing) you don't want baby getting any infections. The doctor may have a stronger cream that will protect from infection until baby feels better. Good luck

take your baby to the
hospital. let the doctor
look at it. change babysitters.
it she has bad dipper rash. put her in her play pen with no diaper
untill the rash goes
away. i had a day care
and my babies that had dipper rash. i did that and it cleared up. also
try some calamin lotion.
laney poor baby
