    I know you didnt ask me but... Best probiotic I can recommend is a fully natural yoghurt. Jalna make a top one, I usually mix with a bit of fruit to sweeten if you're little guys not into the sourish taste of natural yoghurt. Things with a lot of sugar are terrible for causing thrush like stuff so maybe try to avoid that kinda thing for a bit and see of it helps.

    Also for stubborn butt rashes i use calendula ointment. It's not good for MCNs tho, so use a liner or sposie of you do give it a go

    Wipes - I buy a packet of 10 flannels/terry face washers from woolies for five bucks. (brown ones so we know theyre "poo flannels") Work a treat and they're good on your pocket too

    Good luck! DS had a mystery rash a while ago (that's when I discovered calendula) and it drove me nuts!!

    I second the Calendula cream! I use the Weleda brand and it is the ONLY stuff to get rid of a red bum in this house!
