I was changing DS's nappy at a friend's house the other day and put nappy cream on as I always do. My friend gave me a puzzled look and asked if DS had nappy rash. "No, I use it as a preventative measure" I explained.

She said that she only uses it if her kids get nappy rash.

I have always used it with every change and DS has only ever had a rash a few times when he's teething really badly and gets horrible teething poos. Even then, he's only ever a little pink, nothing worse than that.

So, just wondering if most parents use nappy cream with every nappy change or only when they get a rash?
