    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.

    Not sure what the washing recommendations are for your nappies, but I would wash them on the hottest cycle possible to try and kill everything off. GL

    have you tried Daktozin? - i absolutely swear by it its a nappy cream and anti fungal in one, can be bought otc from the chemist. - the little red dots you are describing is what my dd had when she had nappy thrush - i took took her to the gp and he said the little red dots are called satelliting where it branches out from the original source..

    goodluck it's so horrible to see them in pain

    ETA: forgot to mention that my dd's nappy thrush started clearing up within 5 hours of using the Daktozin

    I 2nd the daktozin. Its fantstic stuff for the teething nappy rash. My DS suffers terribly from time to time and this stuff clears him up in 24 hours.
    Give it a go if you have no joy with your other tricks

    I have tried so many creams for this, and also for eczema as ds used to suffer quite badly. One pharmacist put me onto a cream called THE INVISIBLE GLOVE and it is the only thing that has worked. I absolutely swear by it. It is all natural and doesn't contain any steroids which i was trying to avoid. Might be worth a try along with the other suggestions.

    Because I found it to be such a life saver, i feel like i have to sing its praises from the rooftops!

    Good luck

    Girls thanks for all the suggestions!! I will have a look for the Daktozin... Jules, as much as your praise-singing made me smile, we have tried many all natural creams... but not the Invisible Glove. Might look into that after trying the others!

    Thanks again
