That happens to DD if I don't change her every two hours. Or if she is teething, and her wee is a lot stronger, then I sometimes change even more often to stop the rash.
Though she generally gets more of a sunburn type rash, not spotty.
Oh, and I started using Invisible Glove on her to protect her butt a bit more - it works well. I haven't had an issue with washing it off either, that I can tell (it's plant based)
Hey Heaven. I second the frequent changing advice. MCN can't go as long as sposies. Also, try to give her some nappy free time each day for a while - it might help to dry out her skin naturally.
I think some kids are just more prone to nappy rash tbh. If it makes you feel any better, DS gets a mild rash quite frequently in the folds at the top of his thighs and I've noticed it occurs when he's been in a nappy longer than about 2 hours.
I was also thinking I wasn't changing her often enough, thanks guys. I am changing her prob every 3 hrs b/c usually she has a 3hr feed-play-sleep cycle so I just change her when she wakes. Might have to change her before a sleep too, hmm...
And yeah maybe teething too Ali. Poor chook.
Crystal- this morning it's not spotty anymore, just red too. Will check out that stuff u mentioned.
Kaz- yeah, she gets it in the rolls at the top of her thighs too.
I think I've noticed it's worse with the itti bitti's too. I'm not using them ones today and see if it makes a difference.
My kids are fine in itti bitti, but get massive rash in magicalls, also suedecloth. Strange that one affects and the other doesn't, but since selling the magics, no rash.
I wouldn't sell them babe, try liners, or washable liners and see if it stops......
