    PP to carry over from the last thread, don't mind you discussing your DD's rash here at all - it is peripherally related to nappies - at least why you can't use your beautiful stash! Just wish we could offer a bit more help, the poor little thing must be soooo uncomfortable.
    And BTW the Bear is my DH ..... so he's a bloke.... and a damn fine cook. although I wish he would hurry up on the computer in the other room - the Bill is on pause until he gets back! LOL

    Hi - I thought I would join this thread and try and keep up with you all. I have just started using MCN - so far I have hautes pockets and I find them great.

    Just wondering the best thing to use for a red rashy bottom (DS is teething) - I want something I can get easily from the supermarket or chemist, but the instructions I got with the nappies says to not use nappy rash creams.....very confused. What does everyone else use?

    Hi Karla,

    If you find you need to use something to help with the rash, use liners in your nappies, so some microfleece or disposable liners. You don't want the nappy rash creams coming in contact with your MCN as it builds up & stops them being as absorbent as they should be.

    You can use creams with MCN as long as you use liners. Microfleece or disposable work well! Any barrier cream or oil based cream will reduce the absorbency of your nappy, and is a pain in the ar$e to scrub off. (ETA: Snap FJ!)

    HTH.

    PP - have you considered that it's a reaction to the penicillin?? I get a skin reaction to some penicillins which is why I thought of it. You'd have to check with the Dr...
