Both my DD's would get really nasty nappy rash if they or I ate certain foods (while bf'ing). Our main triggers were strawberries, tomatoes, mandarines, oranges, nectarines... I still find that their little bums look burned after eating these foods and one of them is toilet trained. Problem is they love these foods, I just have to be careful of how much they eat.
I have heard about strawberries doing that to little bums!
Yael - its an over the counter cream (ring your pharmacy first to make sure they have it). If you cant find it in your area, let me know and I'll send you one. I have a couple of spare tubes.
Nope the bicarb didn't work, looks a little better, but dried as opposed to clearing. We're trying a nappy free day today - after the plumber has gone will go and get cornflour and covitol if I can find it. If neither of those work, then I'll try Beatrix's opsite flexifix, I'd have the same issue as Yael being that her poos are like soup.
At least with no nappy she isn't screaming when weeing or pooing, so maybe the bicarb did help a little, but not enough.
hi! just wondering, are your bubs' nappy rash extreme (like open sores and blisters) or just extremely red and painful?
my daughter had diarrhea early last week and came out with a very bad nappy rash. she'd cry as soon as i lay her down to change her. stopped using wipes and started using wet cotton balls and would put desitin and cornstarch powder over it around tuesday and by thursday, she wasn't crying at every change. her bowel movements were still not the best but they became ok. continued/continuing with the cornstarch powder but her tummy's gone bad again yesterday and nappy rash is back. her pained cries are breaking my heart when i change her and i want to get rid of this rash ASAP.
wondering if opsite flexifix that beatrix recommends will be suitable for her. or do i just ride this out for the 2 days or so that it takes to clear the pain?
btw, any ideas on how to have nappy free time in this cold weather with a mobile bub without having wet spots on the carpet?

Fianne Greer had red and angry blisters and cried at every nappy change. With nothing working for me I finally got it all cleared - marked improvement overnight all gone by 3rd day and continuing with my Lifesaver to prevent a return.
My Lifesaver was Nappy-Mate Paste made by WA company Ethicare Pharmaceuticals - was only $5.95
