We use the Karicare ointment that the gremlins were given for their weepy, bleeding bots in the hospital when they were a few weeks old. They haven't had nappy rash since. I use Curash powder at every change, Sudocream as a barrier overnight and the Karicare if they are looking a bit red. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Jess, you shouldn't use the thick creams on most cloth naps unless you're using liners as they clog up the fleece (or whatever keeps baby dry i.e. suede cloth etc) which stops the wees getting through.
Try something like the Eco Store nappy balm. That has heaps of good stuff in it to heal the rash sores and also to protect her skin after the rash goes. We used to use this when Caitlin got a rash with sposies, but we don't bother anymore as she's in 100% cloth and doesn't get rashes 
Just a suggestion, when she's teething bad it makes the urine stronger so perhaps give her heaps more water to neutralise it? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I really try giving her more water but she tells me pretty much where to shove it.
Can u just get the eco store stuff from the supermarket? |

i use either tui bee balm or lucas pawpaw cream, and it keeps things clear, and is a natural product. ------------- Lyla - mum to Xanthe - my big 4 year old

I use on the girls mi creme (no prescrip) or mi creme H if it gets really bad and there is an improvement within 1 change of nappy usually, we are having the same prob at the moment - Anastasia is cutting 4 molars and 2 eye teeth at the same time ...... hope Ella Grace is better soon  ------------- Kerryn, Mum to Ashlyn(29/3/04), Anastasia(1/11/05) & Abigail (24/02/09) |

Gina hasn't had nappy rash yet, but I swear by the Mustela breand. I use the cream they have to prevent it and it works well for us but they have a special one to cure nappy rash - you can get it from pharmacies.

We use the Weleda nappy rash cream. Clears things up really quickly! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

What works as well is normal egg whites. Just seperate egg and whip the whites slightly so it foams. Put on babies bum and let it airdry. The proteien in it helps a lot.
Other tip is rooibos tea bags. Wet it and then after wiping babies bum wipe it with the teabag and throw away. Might stain the nappy so use a liner. (not sure if it will stain but dont want to take a chance.) Put a rooibos tea bag in the bath as well. (or a few.) Should work really soon. Real cheap alternative and my friends use to swear by it. McKayla only had a rash in hospital and once when she was teething. (rooibos bag totally removed it in two day.) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have to say after a lot of creams and with haleighs nappy rash getting so bad when she was teething it bled that benthapen antiseptic (also comes in a normal to) was fantastic, it also helped when my dermatitis was cracking. My mum said she used it on me when i was a bub.
it would clear her bottom up within a few days of application, it was a little pricey but it lasted us ages, and i will def be keeping it with me for number 2. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I find sudocream the best. Usually it works so well that the rash will almost be gone by the next nappy change! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

| Thanks everyone for the wonderful ideas! My wee boy also has nappy rash at the moment, and its really bad! The poor wee darling is bleeding sometimes :( I try letting him run around with a bare bum for an hour, I have tried sudacream, cornflour, zinc and castor oil ointment.... I have quite a few of the other options mentioned above lying around at home, so will definitely try them :) Thanks!! |

When Keith was in scbu and on antibiotics he got a nasty rash and I found that the only thing that cleared it up was paw paw cream its really not that costly and it last for ages . You can get it at any chemist. ------------- Tina http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">
