Oh my goodness!

Now I wonder if it might be a yeast infection? Even babies can get them, esp. in the summer...

I suspect the same possibility for a number of reasons. The longevity and stubborness of the rash is the main clue and the appearance of small red bumps / pustules on her bottom.

However, there is no foreign looking matter anywhere near her privates, so it's still a puzzle.

My main concern is the persistance of the diarrhea. I was in the process of switching her from formula to whole milk when the problem began, and then I took her off the whole milk and put her on soy (all the while being mixed with her regular formula..half and half). When it didn't improve, I put her back on 100% formula again and have been doing so for over 10 days now with little improvement.

I've tried giving her small amounts of rice or apples to bind her up a bit, but nothing works. The worst part culprit of the diaper rash comes from those sneaky gases. :(
