Rashes again? Oh no.

Hi there, rashes have 're-visited' my baby's body, and this very annoying and irritating. I'm not even sure if its a rash or an allergy. I've tried so many things and some seem to work for a while and then stop, while others do little or nothing. The only new thing I've introduced to his diet is the light brown millet pap (not the reddish ones), which i have decided to stop for now because of the rashes. I have just finished 'battling' with cough and cold, so I'm still skeptical about the whole "keep him cool", "don't over dress him", advice i get from people. Some will say, "aha, wear two items of cloth for him", others say "don't stuff him up". Can you 'see' my dilemma? 

I saw a Dr and he prescribed an ointment for my son, and when i got to the pharmacy, i couldn't buy it because i didn't have enough money on me. However, i must also add that the ointment was "so small", about 5 ml, just like the size of the popular "super glue". I was like "what is this"? Why is this tiny thing so expensive? But i guess it wasn't the poor attendant's fault, because she didn't answer me, she only smiled. As i was busy lamenting, another female customer advised that i use original shear butter, "ori", or blue seal Vaseline. My friends, i have tried these two options but all to no avail. Maybe i am just too inpatient to see a possible solution to the end, but can you blame me, i don't like the way the rashes look and feel on my "Oyinbo" (meaning light- skinned) and will do anything (reasonable) to get rid of it. 

So, I have finally resulted to buying this "magical" ointment and trust me, it will (not must) work like real magic, because i can't take this any longer. I used to feel that mothers' whose babies have rashes and other skin issues are not neat enough or are careless, (yes, shame on me) but now, i know better.

In all of this I'm still thankful because, he's very well, no fever, still the happy boy i know. I was just telling a fellow 'first-time-mom' like me that the rashes doesn't seem to bother my son and that its only me it disturbs. But not to worry, I'll surely come back here in less than 48 hours to give a "testimony", after i must have used the "magical" ointment on these stubborn rashes.

 Thanks for reading this post and laughing at (or with) me, i really appreciate it.







 (Btw, you must have noticed by now that my son adores the camera, Lol. Like mother like son.)
