Nappy rash

[luna moth]

How come your flannerys has it and not mine?!?! Will make them get some...

Powder.... use cornflour, not talc. You can buy the J & Js stuff, or you can just use regular kitchen cornstarch in a salt shaker. Put it on after you've wiped, it will soak up any of the excess moisture left behind, and not allow nasties to grow. Then you pop the cream on.

Hope it gets better.

oh no! now I still don't know what to do peanutter & audux you've both told me something different powder or cream 1st?

I've got the moogoo today and so far I love it, his little bottom is already looking better

Hey!
Lots and lots of nudie baby time. B got really bad nappy rash when I was in the hospital because he was in sposies the whole time. When I got home I had him completely diaper free almost all the time. I only put a diaper on him when we went out. Had him on a towel when on the floor, or wrapped in a towel when I was holding him so he wouldn't wee or poo on me. It cleared up in just over a day.

I have to agree the moogoo rocks. We are bathing DS with the goat milk bar and that alone has improved his nappy rash vi started using the MSM cream on his bot tonight too

The scalp cream is the boom for cradle cap and general dry facial skin


Enjoy

never fear, lovely cherished, nutter is here!

powder before or after are for different things.

before, it absorbs any liquid still on bubba's punanny.

after, it helps the cream to stay put, instead of rubbing all over the nappy/towell/whatever bubba's on.

we pat dry thoroughly and then just do the cream and the powder, when he's got rash.

but there's no reason not to do a light powder before and after, if you're concerned.

I love love love Lucas papaw ointment. I use it as a lip balm, nappy rash cream, and on sunburn.

DS had a shocking nappy rash about a month ago just a bit longer then that and i tried everything. i used bepanthen, curash powder, nappy free time, moo goo, sudocream and couldnt get rid of it. i ended up washing all of my cloth nappies in dettol laundry liquid and putting him is sposies and used a fantastic cream that the womens and childrens make here in adelaide. it cleared it up within a couple of days and hasnt had a rash since. u can buy it from any united discount pharmacy store and if you google it, i think amcal online sells it. i tried everything with no success until this cream. i highly recommend it. good luck

DS had this same problem. It ended up being the wipes and I don't use them anymore. I just use flannels with water.
Also Moogoo is AMAZING for nappy rash. We used it to clear up a nasty bout and now after every bath we put a bit on the area's he's prone to (the area's you mentioed and also in the little fat rolls) and he hasn't had nappyrash since.

PMH (childrens hossy here in perth) makes a fantastic cream called nappy mate its the only thing thats worked for my DD maybe have a look in the chemist for it

[Cherished]

thanks so much for all the replies girls. I think the moogoo has been working well. I'd say the rash is 3/4 gone and it feels so much softer now too. Hopefully it will clear up 100% by tomorrow if not I might get something a bit stronger from the pharmacy.

Ditto for Nappy Mate...only thing that worked for Palmer. It's awesome.

Until she somehow accessed the jar, unscrewed the lid, spread it all over herself (totally emptying the jar), then screwed the lid back on and put it back on the shelf so everything looked normal...

I also agree with Nappymate. Started using with my now 8yo son and always been the best. It is also the best for covering tonka trucks, fingerpainting and lipstick....although you would have to ask my kids as to why!!! lol


Edited to add: Amanda it would appear our kids have a common bond with the love of nappy mate!!!

[Loula]

Can I ask where you can get nappy mate from??

[Cherished]

I was wondering that too Loula, I asked Dr. Google and it looks like it's a pharmacy product. You can order it on line, it's about $6.40 I am going to check in the local pharmacy 1st.

[Diamond75]

Nappymate is only available at chemists
