Nappy Rash/Poo’s

it could be teething. but also if you are breastfeeding it could be somthing you are eating or drinking which makes his poo sting his bum which gives him the rash.

Amelia got really bad nappy rash like to the point wear her bum was weaping blood and nothing worked for me apart from curash baby powder. I swear by it it made her bum so much better and i just make sure i use it every 2nd or 3rd nappy change so it doesnt come back.

Don't know if this is much help.

Yep sounds like teething to me. Same thing would happen to Emily when she was teething. One theory is the extra saliva they produce and swallow when teething makes their poos stringy. Just recently Emily had another teething episode and we had a couple of days of runny stringy poos just about every nappy change. Now that her teething has stopped her poos are back to normal again.

When Em was younger and had the bad nappy rash with it, I found either Curash powder or Sudocrem helped a lot. I preferred the Sudocredm though as I find powder really annoying to use. But now she's a bit older I think her skin has "toughened up" a bit so we don't get the nappy rash anymore.

Put sudocream on and then vaseline overtop! Use thick layers of both the sudocream and the vaseline. Works an absolute treat in this house!

Cool, thanks for the idea's!

peachy, I will try the vasoline and sudocrem aswell!

What wipes do you use? Our girls had such raw bums from using regular wipes so we started buying the packs of Johnsons nappy liners from countdown. They're like chux cloths but much softer. We just use them and some warm water as wipes and have never had a problem since

We use JJ skincare wipes cos his doesnt like any of the huggies or pams etc

I have patted his bottom with salty water tonight and dried it and put a heap of sudocrem on, and all last night and today I have been putting curash powder on and its drying it up a bit.
Next nappy change I will try the powder then sudocrem then vaseline and see if that helps. I have also put a pams nappy on him to see if its the huggies making hsi bum sore...probably not, but woth a shot!

He is still doing sour icky poo's just about every nappy change, mum said that its the same looking/smelling poo's that we did as babies when teething, I was starting to worry but he isnt unwell or unhappy in general so Im thinking its definitly his teeth aswell...

His poo has mostly gone back to normal today, he has done one sour one but his one this morning looked and smelt normal.
He is so unhappy at times though, Ive been givinh him nurofen Am and Pm and that helps a bit.
