Nappy Rash

Nappy rash is a common problem that all babies have at some point in their early life. The baby’s buttocks become red and sore. Baby rash is a result of:

  • The bacteria in the baby’s stools reacting with the substances in his urine. This causes irritation and redness. Change the baby’s nappy as soon as he wets or soils it. Use a nappy rash cream that has zinc oxide as a component.
  • The baby’s skin being damp. As you change his nappy dry his bottom with a soft cotton washcloth. Allow your baby to stay without a nappy for a few hours everyday.
  • The baby’s skin reacting to the soap or the wipes you use. It is better to use lukewarm water and cotton wool to clean your baby’s bottom.
  • Using strong detergents to wash cloth nappies. Use detergents that are gentle and rinse off a number of times.
