    GL with the different wipes, Jen. Hope that helps. (I find Natty's bum is always less red when I use cloth wipes.)
    I agree with KFBecca though, that if it doesn't clear up you might need to see your GP or nurse as it could be thrush. (I heard that a rash that looks like little pimples is usually thrush.) If it is the case, just some canesten cream can help to clear it up in no time at all.
    Hope he is better soon!

    We only used sensitive wipes too, but did you know those things can get biro ink out of clothes, wow makes you wonder whats in them and what's going on bubs bum huh??

    the mchn said thrus will look like a red area with little white spots (very hard to see) and if you have been using any other creams that might have sugar in them eg paw paw ointment it actually makes thrush worse because the fungus feeds on the sugar.

    I hope the rash gets better.
