With every round of immunisations my wee girl gets a nappy rash, so I'm becoming a bit of a fan of finding what works. I've tried -
Bepanthen ointment (pretty average) *** Sudocream (really good when it looks sore)**** Karicare Ointment (absolutely horrid)** Vaseline (the classic preventer)*** Lucas Papaw ointment (Fantastic!!!! would recommend this to anyone.)***** Johnson's Pure cornstarch with vitamin E (ok)*** So what have you tried and what do you think? ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

Amy has had nappy rash a few times but only once very badly when the plunket nurse said to get daktozin (sp?? sorry the tube is in Sophie's room and i have just put her down for a sleep  ). It is very thick - don't try to rub it in, just dab it on the nasty areas and it has anti-fungal properties. Good for when it get nasty sore looking.
Usualy we just use Lucas' pawpaw and Sudocream if it is a bit worse. Hope your poor poppet's bum gets better soon - at least the weather is good so she can have lots of nappy off time. -------------

Sudocream and lots of nude times works well for us. Daniel has never had bad rash - more that it starts getting red, so we start the sudocream straight away ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

i use curash powder during the day (more compatible with mcn's), but slather on the bepanthen at night with the disposables. as Flissty said, lots of nappy-off time is good too. -------------

We don't need anything for Sophias bum but Lachies would only get better with daktozin so we invested in the company   ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Alani only got nappy rash after eating too many grapes. We use Weleda nappy changing cream. It works wonders. Only after using it once you can see a big improvement. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

When it gets really bad ( which is when Aoife is sick) I do a layer of talc ( to dry it) sudocream (for the zinc) and a layer of vaseline ( to stop the wees from stinging it) and this works a treat everytime.
Paw Paw is brilliant for bums and any other rash for that matter. |
