What are the best wipes you've used when your baby has had nappy rash.
DD is teething, and we have here the first bout of real, honest-to-goodness nappy rash that we've seen. Not a bit red in the creases, which we've seen often enough, but red all over, everywhere that the nappy touches her skin. I assume it's because of the teething. Certainly the teething is a new thing.
She's doing a zillion little runny poos too. Which is part of the problem.
She's now so sore (poor darling!) that she cries when I wipe her bottom. I've tried the cotton and bamboo cloth wipes we normally use (too rough), and the disposable wipes we use occasionally (softer, but they have more chemicals and I doubt that's good). Everything hurts her.
What is the best way you've found of cleaning a rashy bum without hurting it more?
Hey tenar, have you tried the huggies new one with shea butter, i had the same problem dd had a rash which just wouldnt budge and the switch to those wipes and using this cream called Desitin it cleared up really fast xx Hth
I just use a cotton ball and cool water on DS and it works really well. I started off using wipes and he started to get nappy rash in the first week, so we switched to the cotton balls and haven't looked back, 5 months on we still haven't had nappy rash.
Water / cotton ball. And if really bad, then PineTar Sol diluted will clean it up fast. Lots of nappy-free time in the outside air, a little bit of sunlight on it will help.
If using paw-paw ointment, use the yellow tube, not the red (the red has petrochemical base). Also canestan powder will help keep the rash dry during summertime sweat ...
