Preventing nappy rash
To prevent your baby getting nappy rash follow these tips:
- Change your baby’s nappy as soon as you can when it becomes wet or soiled
- Carefully wash the nappy area with warm water and cotton wool, gently patting until dry
- Just letting their skin breathe can work wonders. So whenever possible, leave their nappy off for an hour or so
- Try to change your baby’s nappy before putting him or her down to sleep
- Use a barrier cream such as Sudocrem to protect your baby’s skin.
Despite your best efforts nappy rash can occur and is very common in young babies.
