my baby has nappy rash!!!!

Glad to hear you have a bottom as smooth as a baby's bottom again
Maizena does it again!!

none of the expensive creams cleared the rash. Maizena did the trick for us too.

Good news!! The rash is going away, and all that is now left is some patchy dry skin - I've been using the maizena tip to make sure babys bottom is dry and sprinkling some in his nappy, have also been using only cotton wool and water to clean his bum and Sudocrem, so far so good, I'm so happy its almost gone - yay to my babys new soft bum again!! Tnx for the tips and advise ladies!!

Hi there,

We had the same problem with Lientjie.

We used all the "good" creams available and even the mixture the pharmacies makes.

a Very good friend of mine suggested I use "speen salf" (They use it to milk cows - yes unbelievable I thought) Desperately I went to the NLK (Koperasie) and got a Big tub for R30.

Within a day the nappy rash was gonners! Now we just use speensalf. My husband even started using it for his heat rush between his legs.

Nappy rashes are the worst - Aran usually gets them if he has even the hint of a runny tummy.
Maizena is one of the better suggestions I ever got. Other moms swear by using cooled rooibos tea to wipe baby's bottom.
Good luck - hope he gets better soon!

Dont worry!! They sometimes get bum rashes from nowhere!! I also used the bennets. What also works quickly that I got from my gran is Milk of magnesia (that blue bottle) and maizena made into a paste. I used to mix some in a resealable plastic container and use as needed.

Ok, thanks for all the advice ladies!! I'm still distraught though, he he, hate seeing that ugly stupid nappy rash on my little Connors bum, boo friggin hoo!!

As of this afternoon, I have used only cotton wool and water to clean his little bum and I've switched to Huggies now, just incase its the nappies - I've been using Mazeina to make super sure the area is dry (tns for that tip) and, I've been using sudocream - so, hopefully it will clear up sooner rather than later!!
