Not a silly question at all hun! Even when there is no poo there, make sure you wipe from front to back, and then as she gets older teach her that too - like we do to avoid UTI's etc.... I tend to do what Michael said and part it and use one finger in the wipe to sort of wipe down if that makes sense! I'm sure I will be on here in a few weeks time asking what to do with the peepee!
ETA - Oooh just read Cai's post - now I'm worried - eeek sometimes it gets right in there though Cai - so in that case would you just bath?? I remember being told by the nurse not to worry about the naturally occuring discharge etc that acumulates in the folds, but if there is poo there I like to get it all off.
I put nappy cream just on external bits - whenever she has had a little bit of nappy rash its on the skin on the outside and more on her actually backside than genitals anyway.
