So sad! Vent! Toddler problems!

So my little man is 20 months old! He goes to bed watching cartoons every night and I guess he stayed up late lastnight well he pooped and went to sleep, I didn't see it til this morning because I went to sleep before him last night!
(Which never happens)

Well he had diarrhea which is horrible because the only time he gets that is when he's sick!
And it left a really bad rash on his booty and around his creases down there!! he was crying the whole time I was trying to clean him up! So I had to put him in a warm bath to get the rest off!!:(

I put corn starch on it and after getting his clothes on he wanted to go back to bad!:( I really hope he isn't sick with some kind of bug!!:( I hate it when he's sick!! Breaks my heart!!

Now I feel super guilty that I fell asleep first lastnight because usually I always go put a blankie on him after he falls asleep and check his diaper!:(

Thank you! I'll try it next time! He's acting like it didn't happen now so I'm not gonna remind him! Lol just really happy he's feeling better! Corn starch always dries it up really fast!

If you have any old panty hose lying around, put whole oats in it (plain oatmeal,fill the stocking up as much as you can, the more oats the better) and sit him in a warm bath with the oatmeal! It'll sooth his little bottom! It does wonders for my babies when they get diarrhea!

Poor little man. I understand how that is my 2 year old son was telling me in the car he had poopoo, but we were in the car and so I couldn't do anything about it that very second I felt super bad because he was just so uncomfortable. :/

It's horrible!! Being big and pregnant trying to take care of him and clean up the house is just a nightmare! My husband was home for a few days so I didn't clean much now I'm like going 90 mph trying to clean everything back spotless! Lol
