The people who know me well know that I’m somewhat of a kuripot (spendthrift, cheapskate, frugal.. you get what I mean!) – especially my husband! 😉 HOWEVER, when it comes to things for kids and babies, I sometimes forget my frugality and overspend! (Especially when it comes to books and everything homeschooling-related!) A lot of moms out there can probably relate with what I’m talking about here. 😉

Too bad I’ll be missing Baby Company’s Grand Baby Fair then (we’re going to Baguio for the Couples for Christ Magnificat Weekend Retreat!) 😉 Hubby and I have been talking and praying about Baby no. 3 lately and we realized that we gave away a lot of our newborn stuff before we left Timor Leste for good. This weekend’s Fair would have been a good chance to stock up on baby and other kid-related stuff! Also, I’ve been wanting to get some things for my sister’s miracle baby too! Oh well!

Anyway, you may want to check out the Fair if you’re in Manila. Here are the details from Momcenter.com:

Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy Lunar/Chinese New Year! 😉

I’ve written about rashes in babies before, but mostly about their being a symptom of common childhood viral diseases. My kids are, chronologically, no longer “babies,” but that doesn’t mean that they’re not prone to skin rashes anymore (and, take note please, they’ll always be my “babies!” He he!).

Anyway, I digress.

When we were still on mission in Timor, skin rashes in our little ones were quite common, especially because of the heat and dust. Rysse, in particular, was quite prone to diaper rashes, almost from the day she was born. We even had to deal with a diaper yeast infection, which she developed as a result of being on antibiotics as a newborn, due to her having a urinary tract infection and sepsis.

Though baby skin rashes, especially in the diaper area, are a common occurrence, I’m sure others moms can probably relate to me when I say that I felt really bad whenever my babies would have them. That’s why I did my research and tried to apply all I learned about preventing diaper rashes.

If you’re a mom with a baby or toddler, here are some useful tips for preventing baby skin rashes from Momcenter.com and Nivea:
