    might be time to visit the GP with DS - I know with Blake we've had to get antibiotics to clear up a bit of nappy rash that wouldn't go away (and it had been bleeding too)

    Are you sure it's not thrush? Impossible to say without saying, it's just that every time we've had a bad nappy rash it's actually turned out to be thrush - like if it's not responding to the usual treatments (air time, barrier cream, etc) then it's actually thrush. It's usually localised in a few splodges and it just gets worse and worse until you realise what's going on and get some canestan. Good luck!

    we used corn flour when Kameron had it really bad like that when he was a baby. It worked really well. Apparently it is what Mum used to use on me, as a lot of the creams now a days were not available.
