my baby has nappy rash!!!!

Shame man! Poor little bum.
I'd switch to only bepanthen for a day or so. It always works for me - my son couldn't use any other bum cream.. so thats all I use with my daughter. It also isn't all sticky and nasty to wash off like other barrier creams.

Have you not maybe changed your brand of wipes? Huggies Pure wipes (red packaging) gave both my LO's rash!! Strange because Huggies nappies and the blue wipes are fine.

Hi I found that Antipeol works wonders.

Huggies Gold also gave Brandon a rash - so bad he had little blisters after one day.

Most pharmacies make up a bum cream from castor oil and zinc - it took 3 applications to clear those blisters.

If you are using Pampers or Huggies, there is already a moisterising layer built into the nappy so no need for bum cream - it somehow decreases the absorbancy of the nappy.
I have never used bum cream on Liam and he is yet to have a nappy rash.
Then again, he might just have a "stronger" skin cos I use Cuddlers and that has no built in barrier cream.

Shame man! You're not doing anything wrong. Sometimes it just happens. I use fissan and the rash clears up within hours. By tomorrow the rash will probably be gone so don't stress. XXX

Desiree- Oh, it's heartbreaking when they get their 1st bum rash hey! It doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong, it soundsa like you're doing everything right but it just vhappens sometimes.

Try Maizena- it's cheap and handy to get and works like a charm. Use it to dry the bum at every bum chage, just use it like you would talc. Then put a bum cream and coat with more maizena. I honestly didn't believe it would be better than all the baby products but it worked wonders!

If you find Connor is getting nappy rash often for no reason then consider changing your nappy brand. I personally have had no issues with Pampers but I know some people who have had to move to huggies. I personally had an issue with huggies gold for a little while. Babys bums are super sensitive and sometimes the fibres they use in the actually nappy can be a problem. It's rare but it's possible.

I hope it clears up soon!

I'm so distraught, Connor has developed some nappy rash! I think I've been doing everything spot on so far - I change him often, clean well at each change using sensitive wipes, I use Bennets bum cream and bepanthen at bath time - and now his little bum is red - oi, what am I doing wrong? This morning I've left his nappy off a bit, only used cotton wool and water to clean and will use som sudocream when I put his nappy on again!

Anything else I should be doing? Any advice would be appreciated!
