Question

I baby sit a little boy. He definitely very behind in his age range hes 12 months and he cant do anything a one year old can do. Hes still on formula and other things he cant hold himself up or walk. Which is a little concerning but its honestly not that bad. But what gets me mad is I've been watching this boy for only 2 weeks M-F 6-5. Since the day hes came to me hes had very very bad diaper rashes n I've always treated them the best I can with the time I have with him. He always seems to get better by friday but monday comes n he has it again. Today is monday n his rash was so bad when he came to me idk what to do. I dont want to call CPS cuz idk if it's something worth doing to that family if shes not a bad mom. He goes to daycare next week so this is the last week hell be in my care. I attached a pic . I've been treating him with desitin I have at my house . This is at 4 pm this morning it was so much worst!!
**Edit: Yes I've talked to his mom as it's only his mom. But like I said I can only do so much. If she would wipe his ass she'd know he has a rash I really shouldn't have to tell her anything but yes I have an I will definitely be talking to her again today as it's so bad he has bare flesh.it makes me sad to see this and I dont want to call CPS obviously as I have no reason other then a diaper rash to be concerned and some bruises sometimes but it's normal for kids to have bruises. N I've also thought it being the diaper brand I know since I've watched him hes used huggies and luvs so I'm not sure**
**edit 2: I talked to her again n she said hes getting a rash because hes teething n itll go away soon she gave me some A&D ointment and that's it. I deleted the picture for the people concerned. I have an 18 month old n hes never had a diaper rash. I've babysat kids with diaper rashes before but never this bad. and I understand the concern about posting someone else's baby on the internet I was just very concerned and I didn't want to get cps involved if I didn't have to that's why I asked for help n posted the pic and scribbled out his private part. so its understood how severe it is, my apologies.***

Accepted Answer

Call cps

Answer

Definitely talk to the parents first. Let them know you’re worried about it and say in your experience it looks like a yeast infection so they should take him to the doctors. There’s no easy way to say it but they need to be told his rash is bad and needs attention.

Answer

The motor development issue is more concerning than the diaper rash. If you call CPS, they will let you know if it’s a justified reason to call. I called CPS on a friend who had 8 cats, 3 dogs, house reeked of pee, and she was giving him juice instead of formula at 4 months old. They evaluated the situation and made her take the baby somewhere else while they cleaned the house plus she had to take parenting classes. She said it was the best thing that happened to her because she got out of an abusive relationship and got her shit together. Plus CPS gave her a lot of support with supplies + daycare as a single mom. So, even if there is an issue with what she’s doing, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to take her baby away unless there’s something worse going on.

Answer

For all the ones saying it looks like a yeast infection.. no this is a diaper rash and the reason I know that for a fact is because my son would come back home from his biological fathers like this every time he went over there. I would get it cleared up and then it would come back as soon as he went over there. His bio father actually told me he only changes my son 2 times a day.. I'm sorry but as adults we use the restroom more than twice a day.. what makes people think that kids don't go just as much if not more? In fact, my son was at his bio father just this past weekend. From Saturday at 12pm-sunday at 1pm.. and this is the type of RASH he came back with. I've actually had to open a CPS case myself against his own dad for things.. they found him guilty for neglect but didn't do anything about it. The rash would get so bad to where I couldn't even wipe him because it would start bleeding.. that is not a yeast infection.. that is a rash and the mom needs to do a better job at taking care of her child.

Answer

He needs nystatin from his dr ! Desitin is not going to clear that up ! But at the same time that looks terrible and that baby is not being changed, there is just no reason for that I’m sorry I have 10 month old twin boys and if their butt ever looked like that I would have them at the dr ! They have never had a diaper rash and I just change and clean them regularly so I think there is no excuse for this !

Answer

A diaper rash isn't a reason to call CPS but the mother not trying to solve the diaper rash is. That's a really bad one and some kind of solution should have been come to heal it whether it be taking him to the doctors or switching diaper brands.

Answer

Call cps, this child is being neglected. She is not giving him the care he needs, this has nothing to do with the brand of diaper he has on. This breaks my heart

Answer

My pediatrician told me to mix 
Mylanta and Aquaphor 
Make it like a body cream/body butter consistency and cake his butt in it! Works wonders and doesn’t have a smell, super easy to apply and it works amazing! The Mylanta takes the sting out of the rash and the aquaphor acts as a protectant layer against the acid/heat in his urine and/or poop.

Answer

Looks like yeast to me.  They might not be changing right away which will irritated it more. Talk to them.

Answer

I'm much more concerned about the motor development than the rash. Has mom said anything about it?
