so please don't try any oil or oil based cream.

hi
u can apply mustard oil also at anus .

1. keep your baby without diaper. allow cuts to come to direct air so that they heal faster.
2. make sure to clean your baby well aftr all bowel movements..wash her gently ensurng that no residue of stool is left behind in the cuts.
3. if you are in India, rinse her with dettol after bath,,the usage is writtn inside the bottle,,
4. if you are out of india, ask your dr about some antiseptic lotion or liquid to clean her or clean her aftr bath, after bowels with alcohol wipes to be away from infections.
5. ask your dr for some medication,,its better she gets some medication esp the application on the cuts aftr the cleaning for fastr recovery,,,its not proper to test and try ne medicine on it.
6. she is 8months,so if its pozble for you to lemme know her diet/daily diet and i can give you some diet recmndatns so that her bowels becomes softr and she can pass it without disturbing the recovery of the cuts.
you have to take care things below :
1. make the bowels softer. add in fibr to her diet...
2. recovery of cuts has to be faster,,faster the better and will reduce the chances of ne futher infection.
good luck

why is there a big gap of 1-5...hope its sleeping time ! which has to be reduced to 1-4.and offer 5 evening feed at 4 evening.

lot of things missing in her diet :
your original schedule ::::
at 8months,,you can offer many alternatives.
morning 9.00 - cows milk /// offer her iron fortified infant formula.

12.00 -vegetable soup(carrots,beetroot,spinach,tomato)///offer fruits here.esp pears, banana(ripe),peaches,,papaya.

1.00 -mung daal khichadi with a clove of garlic,tomato,spinach /// add in vegies here,,,
5.00 - rice kangi(made of rice pwd) //// her hard stool starts from here ! rice, cerelac, ceralac,,,no liquids, no juices, and no vegies !!!!!!
7.00 -cerelac
9.00 - khichadi
11.00 - cerelac

can you try this ///new one.:

9 morning - iron fortified infant formula accompanied by light breakfast by iron fortified infant cereal with some fruits in there. or cereal with bm or formula or fruit juice ! offer cerelac with some diluted juice and 2 ripe or mashed fruits/fresh
stop cows milk,its not helping him do ne good. he needs proper nutrients and iron that only bm or iron fortified formula can give.as it is she doesnt like cows milk,,try offering formula see if she accepts it !!!

1 - khichadi, with lots of vegies, where are other vegies ? introduce them ! stop offering rice kanji.you can offer soup alongwith khichadi to make khichadi gravy like and moist...it will add in fibr. also start doing tadka/curry leaves,crushed jeera,hing,in hhis diet...he needs that shot of oil or ghee ! also if you can get raagi, once her constipation or hard stools are taken care of,,you can offer her raagi.right now, give her boiled rice with lots of vegies, and give light food.

5 - offer diluted fruit juice here esp the pear, apple and banana base juices,,,,if she seems to be hungry,,you can offer cerelac,,but the qty should be controlled.its a cereal and its enough for 1 feed which should be morning feed.

7 - let this be milk time ! , if your child is hungry,,add in some snacks here ! he needs varieties too..

9 - khichadi is fine,,after making khichadi, you can add in some cerelac to it(dont add milk,make khichadi watery like !,,make it a full meal )

11 - cerelac ///// at night before sleep offer full feed of formula or BM and avoid offering ne food after 9:30.
put her to early to wake and early to rise schedule. include lots of juices and fruits, vegies in his diet, include oatmeal,barley cereal in his diet.
avoid offering nuts/dry fruits until your child is 1 year,,,already he is sufferng from constipatn with all stocked in there,,,so offer fibr first and let his bowels get normal !

check the 8-9months diet charts and all recmndatns,,,and you will know it better what all is missing in your child diet :
