    I use Brauers Nappy Relief cream if her bum is looking sore (works fast!) and red otherwise I usually just put some Moo Goo soothing cream on it and it smells yummy!!!

    I have bepanthen and Sudocreme (given to me) but only if she has a really really bad rash will I use those types of creams!

    I use little innoscents nappy rash cream. I mostly use it overnight as that is the longest time she goes without a nappy change.
    They have a whole product range and won a kidspot award in 2008. It is 100% certified organic. They have a website too called little innocents.
    I don't use baby powder on her at all, not sure why.

    Congrat's so much 'stuff' on the market for babies, it is just mind boggling!

    I use Moo Goo, but if it is a nasty rash I will use Sudocreme.

    for nappy rash i found sudocreme to work really well. Nappy rash tends to come on badly when they start teething due to acidy poos.

    other then that, i maintained their bottoms with olive oil and cornflower and the combination of these worked wonders. (much more economical too) I've also heard that talc is a carcinogene, but its hard to know whats true and what isnt... i just figure its better to find something that is completely safe....you cant get much safer then something we eat.

    I never used powder with DD, but I do with DS. I like the curash one, and if he gets a bit red between the penis and the scrotum, I use that and that usually clears it straight away.
    Poor little guy has had some shocking teething rashes though and for that I use a natrual paw paw ointment or Bepanthen with a liner which I can soak.

    Bepanthen and sudocream are not to be used (or any vaseline/zinc based product for that matter) with MCN as they seriously hamper the moisture withdrawal/absorbancy factors....and they don't wash out ever.
