    • Signs of Baby Teething - Does Teething Cause Diarrhea? Does Teething Cause Diaper Rash?

    Teething definitely can cause diarrhea, diaper rash, congestion and increased reflux. The body's process of teething creates histamines which in turn increase stomach acid production. That acid mixes with the saliva which runs down your baby's chin, causing a teething rash. As the excess acid works it way out the other end it causes diarrhea and spurs diaper rash.

    Teething Rash

    We love the trick of coating teething rash areas like baby's chin and diaper region with some water repellant natural ingredients like pure shea butter or coconut oil. These will help prevent teething rash and are great products in your natural skin care arsenal. Pure coconut oil is easy to find at most health food stores and makes a wonderful skin protective agent in place of or in addition to our natural baby lotion, even for difficult baby eczema. Coconut oil has natural antibiotic properties and will not clog the skin so use it safely on your little one with abandonment. And rest assured you won't be reading an ingredient list that contains preservatives, fragrance or endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
