what is this?!
i changed my baby girls diaper today and there were a bunch of clear gel crystal like things, almost like that silica gel stuff, it looked kind of weird and it was only around her girl parts, not down into the rectal area.
any ideas? is it something to be concerned about?
oh-- and we use huggies diapers (i hate them, i'm ready to get back to the pampers haha) but i was wondering if maybe it was from the diaper??

I have noticed crystals and gel in the diapers. What are these materials, and are they harmful?
The crystals and gel are forms of a superabsorbent material. Superabsorbent diapers offer significant benefits: drawing wetness away from baby's skin and helping to keep baby's skin healthy. In HUGGIES® diapers, superabsorbent material is mixed with the diaper padding. This material turns liquid into a gel, helping to prevent leakage. Occasionally, you may see small beads of gel on the diaper or on the baby, but the gel is nontoxic and will not harm the baby.
Superabsorbent material, also known as polyacrylate absorbents, are a family of polymers that have extraordinary absorbency. The safety of superabsorbent material has been proven in over 450 consumer safety tests studying every which way a person could come in contact with it--through skin contact, or perhaps a baby's eating it out of normal curiosity. Each study has consistently demonstrated the safety of this material.

Yes, it's from the diaper. I had that happen sometimes when I used Huggies, especially a really wet morning diaper. It's probably nothing to worry about, though.

It means she peed to much in the diaper and the diaper exploded... then the contents of the diaper came out... those little absorbent pellets.

Its the diaper filling. Next time you change her diaper take a knife and slice it open and you will see the same stuff.

Its the gel in the diaper!!! It got too full before you changed it, couldn't hold anymore and poped out. Thats all. Change her more often.
