    Cool I found a good cure for nappy rash

    I can't believe it took me so long to think of it.

    My FDC lady usually wipes DD with a tissue dipped in water that has a couple of drops of lavender oil in it and DD has never had bad nappy rash.

    Recently she had a bout of bronchiolitis and got nappy rash that just didn't want to go away. So I started putting a capful of lavender oil in her bath and within about 3 or 4 days I noticed that she doesn't have any nappy rash anymore.

    So, it's natural, smells nice and seems to also help her sleep better too.

    I just thought I'd share my success in treating nappy rash. I hope that it helps someone.

    That's great! What a great idea - I used lavender water after having DS on my stitches I was told it had excellent antibacterial and healing properties but never thought about it for bubs bottom!

    Thanks for that!!

    I actually noticed that Jack has had a bit of nappy rash the last couple nights, as he has been having showers with DH (no soap) instead of his usual lavender oil baths. I wouldn't have even put two and two together, LOL.

    Ooohh...thanks! Now where do I get it?
    I think I am a bit wary of lavender but I don't know why! Was there some kind of article about it a while back or something??

    I think the article you are thinking of is a report that lavender can cause a serge of one of the female hormones in boys and some boys apparently produce breasts. I don't know if it's been proven to be scientific fact or not though.

    You could try tea-tree oil if you are worried about lavender.

    of course! That's a top idea.
    Kudos to your FDC lady too.

    Tea-tree and Eucalypt oil will do the same thing too
    They are the only 3 essential oils that have all 3 properties of being anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral (meaning they kill everything lol)
