as some of yee know my dd was sick over the last 2 weeks and due to all the crap she was on caused sore bum and then constipation, had to give her lactose to help her move.. then after forking out €110 on all her meds last week…
Yesterday we Forked out €15 for a spray on advice of chemist as her bottom was stinging her all the time ,,,,I sprayed her and it burned her , i mean actually burn mark….then had to bring her to the gp who gave her a cream that cost €35 and has to be thrown out after 7 days
because of the ingredients in it… €60 in 1 day…if i ever hear anyone who has a medical card complaining of the 50c on items i will swing… if they had the bill we had in 2 weeks they wouldnt be long about stopping…….
sorry but very angry……
Awww, the poor child. They do suffer with their poor little bottoms.
I hope you kept all your receipts – I know it is little help now, but come next january, you can claim 20% back.
Medical bills can be very expensive and then you add on medical insurance and it all adds up. I am going to do some serious thinking about the medical insurance this year – does not appear to cover anything much when you actually go to claim!
our bills last yr were over 2k , as we had to see specialist etc and with dd meds and my meds. we got 300e back … its a joke.
Thats awful….so sorry to hear that.
Not sure if this is helpful….. mammamia.ie do bottom sprays for new mums and babies that look really nice and gentle on skin. Maybe there is something they have that would be soothing for her and they are not expensive either.
Also, the Irish Breeze water wipes are very good for sore bums, they are on special offer in some pharmacies at the moment too.
Hope she feels better soon. x
ah girls , u wouldnt belive how sore the child is , its pityful. I am crying trying to clean and dress the area , her screams are horrendous. but fingers crossed we have a light at the end of the tunnel as she poo’d no problem this am and didnt complain and even wanted to go to her playgroup , which yesterday it was , mammy i cant go my bummy is too sore 🙁

Gosh we would be lost without our medical insurance. Each time our dd was hospitalised everything was covered from private room, to xrays and consultants fees.
i know the spary you used its a brilliant spray we use it on ds2…. its a spray that would be used in old folks homes etc…. Just a question did you hold the can too close, its very very cold and maybe is a kinda ice burn iykwim.
I use Bepanthan and its BRILLIANT…… boots only 4 euro a tubeI held the spray away from her , pharmacist was surprised also….it wasnt a ice burn 🙁 . i tried bepathen, and it was no addition at all…along with other list of stuff.
Almae – thats terrible for the poor thing… have you tried Drapolene – I found it fantastic for my DS…
God thats terrible!!!! Do you have a good local chemist to make up a mix…. isnt there a good mix to do think its 100ml or 30ml of water with 10 drops of lavander …. think sunshine orla would know the amounts very good for sore bum
I would second bepanthen its great and I usually dust her with Caldesan Powder before I put on the cream just to make sure everything is dry and not getting aired!
Poor little mite, we find bread soda baths very helpful with nappy rash as well as all of the above.
i am a aromatherapist so i know what to try and i did and nothing worked. I tried everything under the sun , went back to datacort (sp) and seems to be working now ….fingerrs crossed …
yeah thats great i was told that too… do you know the lavander mix is it 100ml to 10 drops or 30mls??? Sorry ive confused myself now 😆 😆 😆
