    yeah pure nutraceuticals is okay...so is simmons. The one to avoid is the Lucas brand with the petroleum base as it leaves a film on the fibres of the nappy...there is a safe Lucas brand...just read the labels if unsure.

    I have been using it today and it has actually been clearing DDs rash up!! Awesome!! It usually only improves over night when I use sposies and sudocrem.
    It's pretty oily stuff though, so that's ok?? I'm still worrying about my precious nappies, pmsl.

    I want to get some of that stuff!! I havent' been able to find it anywhere near me

    Does anyone know if you can use that Gaia soothing lotion with MCN's?? DD has been getting heaps of rashes lately from solids and teething but I too, just use sposies and bepanthen or sudocreme on her butt which I hate doing.... or sometimes the Gaia stuff too....

    Just wanted to post that I actually use sudocrem with my MCN and haven't had any issues. Mines are all hemp and bamboo. In fact I use it at every change and haven't needed a strip wash yet.

    My dad (a GP) reckons paw paw has too much sugar in it for nappy rash, and in some babies it can feed the problem. If its working for you then keep using it, but I know for some babies it makes it worse.
