Please help my poor little one......any help at all.

Cool water and a soft cloth for cleaning.  Baking soda soak for pain.  brat diet....bananas, rice, applesauce, toast (or whatever of those things your lo can eat!)

PP's ideas with cornstarch.

Cheese squares. The harder the cheese, the harder the stools. Since he's 5mos, he's probably able to eat it grated instead of squares. BRAT diet works too!!! Bananas, Rice cereal, applesauce or juice, and toast.......... like the first mom said.

WHAT SHE SAID HOPES HE FEELS BETTER MAYBE YOU COULD LEAVE HIS BUTT OUT TO AIR JUST PUT A PAD OR TOWEL UNDER HIM INCASE OF A POOP

I would do the same, soak his little bottom, stop using wipes and use a damp cloth instead, and maybe let him "air out" a little.  Go with the binding diet that everyone else suggested!

YOu can also give him probiotics to help his gut get back the normal bacteria that has been lost due to illness. If he takes a bottle you can put it in the formula or breastmilk. The vitmain stores has powder for kids.

yes, baking soda soaks help get the acid off and stop the burning, also put his bum under running water to clean him and stop the wipes, dab instead of wipe. putting some maalox on his bum can also help neutralize the acidic burning stool. once the stool stops the thick overnight desitin works great, and a better one (kinda expensive) is Calmoseptine (you have to ask for it at the pharmacy counter)--it is zinc oxide with a numbing medicine in it.

my son has had some really acidic poo and diaper rashes that cause bleeding blisters and it is the worst when you have to change them so often and they scream and shake in pain. I would also cry with him. and for my son once he got his first blistering rash, at 10mo, it seemed it happened easier since his skin was damaged.

i used a wet paper towell or rag so it wouldnt sting and put tons and tons of cream on it. also epsion (sp) salt bath will help heal it a little faster :( poor thing

sounds like riley has roseola. My son had it at 6mnths and it usually  starts with high fever then rash and the diarrhea although the rash looks uncomfortable it usually isn't my son was cranky and had diarrhea and I would use a cold wet rag and dab it on his bottom the diarrhea is good that means his body is getting rid of the virus just make sure he gets alot  of liquid as he could get dehydrated and that would be really bad. carrots are good to eat during diarrhea bouts and so are bananas. hope this helps and don't worry riley is gonna be okay

I was thinking the exact same thing, Roseola.  Fever then a rash...  My LO's had a fever for a few days, the pedi said to look out for a rash.

Don't use baby wipes to clean him they will irritate the rash also I wouldn't use any creams they could be burning him I would try Aquaphor.  That is the only thing I use and I use it for everything.  I love the stuff.
