the market crash gave the babies a rash

What does Obama have against P&G????

First it was all children’s cold medicine’s etc, now it’s diapers. Fastest way to get to a parent is through their child...EVIL.

[RC2]

Procter & Gamble must not have donated enough to the Democratic Party.

Were they made in China?

Bureaucrats looking for bureaucrats where bureaucrats should be found.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Have they had a rash of complaints?

[Jack Hydrazine]

Maybe the E-Trade babies are getting their diapers in a wad over Obama and the markets.

Oh God! My daughter and SIL are having a hell of a time findng baby products that Don’t suck.

Johnson/Johnson, Mcneil, now Pampers?

[TChris]

Have they had a rash of complaints?

I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of this.

[a fool in paradise]

Maybe they sponsor Rush or some other talk radio host:

[TChris]

Try not to believe everything the media reports.

It'll drive you nuts trying to keep up with the lies.

So, a few milkaholics wet their diapers and got a rash. Here, call someone who cares . . . .

[RDasher]

"CAUTION: If your baby develops a rash when using this diaper, discontinue using the product."

End of problem.

[Daveinyork]

TSA officials look there, so I’m not surprised that other bureaucrats are.

[wolfcreek]

I’m glad I’m the Grandfather and not a parent.

They already use several alternative products that actually owrk better. Alternative baby medicines are harder to find.

Milk-a-what?

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

What a bum deal!

I have my own theory about the diaper rash issue that seems to be common now. Many babies spend a lot of time in car seats and other devices that strap them securely in. Those straps cause a chafing effect with the rubbing of the material in disposable diapers. It starts out as a red chafing and if not treated aggressively then becomes a diaper rash that is very hard to cure. I have seen this in several babies after they have been on long car trips. One of my daughters had a baby just over a month ago and I have convinced her to pretreat diaper area with diaper rash ointment when there is no redness as a preventative. So far that seems to be working- this baby has been on several long car trips since we live far from anywhere- and not even a hint of redness in the diaper area.

I don’t like whatever it is used in place of fabric next to the skin in any of the disposables- but they are so convenient I don’t see many giving them up for cloth diapers. Parents just have to be diligent to change babies often and be aware of the chafing issue of using all the straps.

A valid question. A Free Republic article discusses drywall (wallboard) from China has been causing respiratory illness.
