Nappy rash - your suggestions??

[OceanPrincess]

Miss E, wow I had not thought about the bacteria in the cloth nappies... it has been a while since they got some sun (sadly missed the sunny weather in Melbourne recently and now the rain has set in...) so maybe I will do a strip wash and try and get them into the sun... and think about sposies.

Thanks for your suggestion!

OP with the nappies id just wash normally then pop some Canestan rinse in

My cloth nappy guru friend has just said that if we put her into sposies for a while, she might decide she doesn't like cloth anymore - has anyone had that problem???

[Olive]

i dont think she understands the concept of taht OP, DD1 went between the two with no issues

I was going to suggest a cannestan rinse too.

We've had some ripper nappy rash recently that was so bad it bled and I had to give constant pain relief to change him.
We were using alternatively bactroban ointment (script required) and curash powder. I know power really isn't recommended but we needed something to dry it out and it's the best one I've found to do this.
If the antifungal isn't really working then it's possibly not a fungal thing.
Using 2 fleece liners helper keep him dry too.

I agree with Olive - I doubt she'll even notice the difference between them.
However saying that it can work both ways. We found the plasticness of sposies made it 10times worse.
.... I know how hard it is.

Guys thanks for all the suggestions... I will have a look at the Cannestan rinse, didn't even know it existed! Can I get it from the supermarket or is it a chemist thing?

Yeah I am a bit worried about the plasticness too... given she has sensitive skin that is prone to ezcema breakouts...

I'm going to give silk liners a go... that might help...

Its so tough. Thanks for understanding!

[Olive]

just from the supermarket hun, its with the laundry detergant!

Thanks Olive...

Just checked the forecast, Sat is looking "sunny" so I might try to do a strip wash next time I'm washing nappies, then maybe some Cannestan, then maybe some sunny sunshine on Sat.

That with the liners, fingers crossed.

Darn molars... they suck big time.
