    Anything with calendula and chamomile will help with thrush and fungal infections. Maybe try a powder instead of a cream to reduce the moisture. We use a cornstarch powder from plant essentials which has ground calendula and chamomile flowers. Also we have used the bottom balm from mother earth and cherubs kiss baby balm and they were all fine with MCN, as long as it isn't zinc based and try to avoid petroleum based too.

    I'm a Moo Goo convert here. DD2 seems to get a rash everytime she poos, no matter how fast I change her nappy, so I've had to be very careful. The moogoo works well and I also use cornflour if her skin is looking a bit moist.

    With the fungal rash, DD1 went through something similar and I was able to get rid of it by strip washing the nappies. As soon as the rash was clear I started using them again and didn't have another problem.
