Oh so sudocream is out? what about pawpaw ointment?
Yup sudocream is out - anything that acts as a barrier cream (ya know, can't be rubbed in or anything) will stick to the fibres of the fabric and effect its absorbency. Plus its a PITA to scrub off - I've had to do it to a bumg pocket shell when daycare used sudocream on DS's nappy rash one day - took ages to do it with a toothbrush!!!!

Some paw paw cream is ok - the yellow and the black one - but not the red one.

And yes, I think most of us use moogoo. But if I do have to use sudocream for any rashes that aren't moving - I just use a liner between the butt and the nappy - so no cream gets on the nappy directly.

HTH.
