Jodie - most people use microfleece liners - but you can get the papery type ones to go on your nappies too so its a barrier between normal bum cream and the inside of the nappy.
I use moogoo cos you don't need a liner for that. Check out moo goo dot com dot au for the nearest stockist near you. I was surprised to see one 20 minutes away from me.
Its great stuff!!!
Resolve balm will work great on his boy bits. It rubs in (but repels urine) so should be ok with MCN's. Wipe with saline or warm water at each nappy change and apply, covering all nappy area. HTH.
Bepanthen Ointment is OK. I dont use liners with that and I do a thin layer, havent had any rub onto the nappies. The ointment is lanolin based.
You could also try cornflour.
I personally havent used these but I have seen johnson and jonhson nappy liners at BigW?
Although, one pack was opened and the liners looked like these blue kitchen wipes!
you can use chux as a liner too
moogoo! and if you call them after you put your order in they'll send it ASAP - I usually get my order within 2 days of ordering.
Um which moogoo is it?Aiden has the same problem...
Its the soothing cream. scroll down the page after you select the udder cream and you'll find it.
HTH!
That's interesting Ali, I wouldn't have expected that with Bepanthen. Pure lanolin is a bugger to get out of anything because it is so greasy (being wool fat and all), surfactants don't lift it easily. It may use a low concentration of lanolin in a water base, or use a really good emulsifier. I use Bepanthen occasionally but always use liners. But maybe I don't need to be so concerned.
Sudocream is perhaps the worst of the lot for attaching itself to nappies. It is evil to MCNs, but so far it's the only thing that budges really bad rash on my lad.
I've just ordered moo goo today, we don't have a local stockist so had to order online.
ETA: Macca - Lucas Paw Paw has a petrochemical base, Simmons Paw Paw salve (in the yellow tube or tub) does not. It looks and feels identical, but doesn't use petrochemicals!
looks like i might have to stock up on moogoo pre-gremlin!
a quick question - in another thread, there was a lot of mention of gaia products being natural and good for bub as far as bathing and stuff - i noticed on their website that they also have a soothing lotion - is this one good or bad with MCN's? i'm asking early as my mum has hinted that she'd like to do a basket of all lotions and stuff, but she knows my skin is sensitive and that i fear bub may be the same, so she keeps asking which products i want to use...
BG - depends whats in it? I'd say it would be sorta not too bad... usually the moisturing type creams you can use - the ones that dissolve into the skin - its the barrier creams that cause a problem.
Although, I have other moisturing creams here - and they sorta stick to the nappy too and make it a bit slimy. I don't think it has effected how absorbent it is though.
But moogoo is brilliant stuff - my friend used it last night on her partner (they were staying here) cos he got horribly sunburnt the other day. He said that it felt great straight away...
sorry for the hijack of this thread PM! just want to check
