My 5 week old had terrible diaper rashes, we tried different nappy brands and different diaper rash creams. My mum mentioned babies poo's are initially acidic as they are on milk diet. So we tried being innovative and made a mix of Maalox (its an antacid solution which will help nutrralise teh acidic poop, so it doesnt burn the area), fucidin ointment (antibiotic to help heal the open red sores) and Mustela Vitamin Barrier cream(it has vitamin b and is a good base to hold the mix of Maalox, fucidin on the area). We kept applying it generously and by day 2 we saw the diference. Gladly all his rashes are now completely healed. I still apply it without teh fucidin ointment to ensure it doesnt repeat.He is a happy baby now. I initially was usiiong sudocreme, warm cloth wipes etc and it did not help. Some say plain baby oil also helps soothe their rashes, but teh mix worked for us!!

When DD had rush, I followed: - nappy free time (nappies only for sleeping) for at least 5 days - washed with water only (no wipes) and chamomile tea solution (did a bum bath :)) - when wore nappies, used Pampers cotton ones - applied Weleda Calendula nappy cream (or if you can get hold of pure calendula cream, it will be even better, we normally get it from Iran) - watched what I was eating as their tummies are still sensitive (no citrus or high acid food) one more thing, visit one more doc - if it's bad and inflamed, it might be infection.

My 7 week old daughter has had a nappy rash for nearly 4 weeks now. We generously apply Sudocreme, use only warm water and cotton to wash her, air her out frequently without nappies and have now applies two rounds of prescription medication with two different pediatricians. I am loathe to try more medicine on her little self and need advise about any treatment that worked for you mommas One of the things that makes this rash difficult to go is that I am EBF and the little baby lets out a little poo many many times a day. Whatever I try, her nappy area is never completely dry! if you can get some use metanium they do not sell it here, look it up in boots and get some sent over, my ds1 was born without a bowel so he suffered terrible nappy rash, metanium works, its a very yellow thick cream and one application as long as it stays on works, we had it on presription its really good. wash the bottom with gauze and water and do not use any wipes etc.

Thanks for all of your suggestions!! As I mentioned, I have been doing the frequent changing of diapers and using warm water and cotton for a while. Have started applying egg whites and a dairy elimination from yesterday. Fingers crossed!! Green-ish, she doesn't seem to be in pain because of the rashes so far, but I would like the rashes to go away before they start hurting too much!

I would start by changing nappy brands, we found huggies much better than pampers. Stop using all products on her rash, no oils, no body wash etc, and change her every hour (not when she is asleep of course) so she is never wet. Sudocream is more of a preventative barrier than a healing cream, I found bepanthen (something like that) much better but eventually switched to an ecostore brand one that I bring back from NZ. Rule out fungal infection too. Also eventually being EBF she will probably start to poo much less frequently. If nothing else works, eliminating certain foods from your diet (like dairy, wheat etc) might help. Do not know if it was already mentioned, also using cotton pads and warm water instead of the wet baby wipes is a tip.

sudocreme is horrible. i never use it. for me, basic johnson n johnson nappy cream works best. once applied, i let it dry first before putting the nappy on her. but try changing nappy brands, maybe she's allergic to the current one you are using. S With apologies shjbelle...I'm not a fan of Johnson's products. They are full of synthetic fragrances and petrochemicals so not good for tender skin, particularly when it's already inflamed. no need to apologise. i'm just saying what i prefer. if you don't, then it's your choice :) S :) This is why I love this part of the forum. For the most part, we can give our advice or opinions, differ from others and not have our virtual heads torn off! :D

My top tips (after three bubbas) are... - do not use commercial wipes (even when out and about); use cotton wool or cotton cloths soaked in cooled chamomile tea - NO BARRIER CREAMS - all they do is keep the area wet (not dry!!) and potentially lock in the bacteria or fungus that could be causing the problem - use a very gentle moisturiser in bathwater and after the bath. I swear by the Mustela Stelatopia range (milky bath oil is amazing) - lots of nappy free time; lie her on a couple of towels and let her kick her wee legs around every time she's awake, fed and happy. :) - cloth nappies - if you prefer disposables, definitely change brands (perhaps an 'eco' nappy from Organics) - expressed breast milk on her skin will probably help too! - keep a diary of your eating and try to see if you can notice anything that triggers a more inflamed rash. Dairy was the worst offender when I was bf'ing my son. Strawberries and acidic fruits were bad for one of my girls. And maybe consult another paed. Poor poppet...is she in pain? When her skin is clean, is there a smell? Or is it just awful looking? <em>edited by Green-ish on 08/02/2012</em>

The nappy rash cream from Mothercare works really well for my daughter. Once the rash is gone (which usually takes a couple of days), I apply a very light layer of baby oil ( I use the Himalaya herbal winter cherry and olive oil) before putting on a fresh nappy. This has helped a lot in reducing the new rashes from appearing. Most important is to dry her out as much as you can before you apply the oil and new nappy. This helps prevent the poo sticking and makes it easier to clean. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Give the egg White a bash and also perhaps check out what your eating and drinking, there are definitely food stuffs and drinks that I take have an effect on my baby. I can't drink orange, wine or eat curry, peppers and anything with onion. My friends granny at home was a true believer of the egg White.

A friend of mine swears by a concentrated camomille tea solution used to wipe the area clean. i've not tried this but she;'s used it for her 3 babies when needed so must help. You could try other creams, perhaps Weleda and defo try different nappies, perhaps cloth nappies too. Good luck

Have you tried using a different brand of nappy? Maybe she is allergic to the current brand or it's not very absorbant?
