it could be his nappies are holding on to whatever is causing the rash. so maybe a good hot wash with some dettol and a day in the sun. i would check with the doc too in case it is something that needs drugs. ]]> Tue, 25 Mar 2008 12:47:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15617&PID=334338&title=bad-nappy-rash--help#334338 <![CDATA[Bad Nappy Rash.... help!! : If it doesn&#039;t clear up take...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15617&PID=334193&title=bad-nappy-rash--help#334193 Author: kiwivic

If it doesn't clear up take him to the GP. Leo has reoccuring nappy rash when he was cutting his firt teeth, it turned into a bacterial infection that required prescription bottom cream & oral antibiotics! I put him in disposables for about 5 days while it healed as I found that in cloth his bottom was staying so warm & ever so slightly damp that the sores weren't healing. It also meant that I could sanitize all of his nappies ready for when the infection was gone. He's been back in cloth for months now since and hasn't had anything back.

The only other thing I can think of is if there is any type of build up on the fleece. Maybe give them a strip with dishwashing liquid and a couple of clean rinses in the washing machine to make sure there is nothing on the material irritating his bum. Even if you don't think it's that. It's worth a shot just to be sure of it?]]> Tue, 25 Mar 2008 10:24:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15617&PID=334168&title=bad-nappy-rash--help#334168 <![CDATA[Bad Nappy Rash.... help!! : Alex is in pockets.

Alex is in pockets. No they don't wear the same nappies. Sophie is still mainly in prefolds, and her pockets are not the same ones that he wears. Most of his nappies are mircofleece, but I doubt that is the problem, as he has worn them for ages without a problem. I will try using liners.

I always use tea tree or detol to sanitise. I'm sure it's not the washing thats the problem.

hmmm...maybe thrush then?? How would I know if it was?? He doesn't have any discharge, and its fine when he is in sposies?? I have put him in cloth this morning... will see how he goes.

Will try the cornflour trick too!! I have heard that works well!!

Thanks guys. If it doesn't clear up Ill take him to the Dr to get checked out!!]]> Tue, 25 Mar 2008 10:18:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15617&PID=334161&title=bad-nappy-rash--help#334161 <![CDATA[Bad Nappy Rash.... help!! : do they wear the same nappies...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15617&PID=334156&title=bad-nappy-rash--help#334156 Author: Bizzy

Sorry can't help you with the cloth bit. Put cornflour directly onto his rash. It will be gone in no time.]]> Tue, 25 Mar 2008 09:18:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15617&PID=334098&title=bad-nappy-rash--help#334098 <![CDATA[Bad Nappy Rash.... help!! : What sort of material is against...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15617&PID=334095&title=bad-nappy-rash--help#334095 Author: AliaDawn

What sort of material is against his bum in the naps? If it's microfleece or suedecloth, or even cotton he might be allergic to it. If it's bamboo or hemp then I'm stumped!]]> Tue, 25 Mar 2008 09:16:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15617&PID=334095&title=bad-nappy-rash--help#334095 <![CDATA[Bad Nappy Rash.... help!! : Yeah it cos possible be thrush,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15617&PID=334089&title=bad-nappy-rash--help#334089 Author: Kellz

Yeah it cos possible be thrush, and that could be irritated by the cloth nappies, and keep reoccuring. I would get it cheked out by a Dr.
You could wash the cloth nappies with a few drops of tee tree oil to sanitise them.]]> Tue, 25 Mar 2008 09:12:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15617&PID=334089&title=bad-nappy-rash--help#334089 <![CDATA[Bad Nappy Rash.... help!! : Our GP once suggested using nappy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15617&PID=334082&title=bad-nappy-rash--help#334082 Author: Andie

Our GP once suggested using nappy liners for a bad rash of Ella's.  I'm guessing you're already doing all the usual, tons of bare-bum time, barrier creams, etc.  It's not infected or thrush is it?  'cause that can make it worse and difficult to get rid of - well, needs medicated creams to go anyway.

Alex keeps getting a really bad rash everytime he wears his cloth naps. I have had to put him back into sposies (which I really hate)!!! I have tried no nappy time, nappy rash cream, changing him every 2 hrs, but nothing is working. Any ideas, As soon as he is in sposies in clears up in a couple of days, then I put him back into cloth and it comes back straight away. He has been in cloth for about 6 months and I've never had this problem before. Sophie is fine too... so don't think its what I'm washing them in. arrrgg HELP! ]]> Tue, 25 Mar 2008 09:03:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15617&PID=334074&title=bad-nappy-rash--help#334074
