Disposables and mild nappy rash?

[punkbaby]

I had to use my first sposie last night as all my mcns were wet (ty to the rain) as were my boosters so i couldnt even boost my flats unless i wanted to get up every two hours to change her.

Thankgod for bounty bags and their 2 trial huggies nappies lol.

Anyhow indies bum is really red around the nappy area, not so much a rash but its quiet red which is like the start of one. I have given her bum a good wipe and since putting a flat on her this morning its eased apart from round her tummy an legs.

Did anyone have this happen with sposies? I am upset that i had to use one :( didnt have a choice but wondering if her and plastic dont agree?

My DD (who is now 4 1/2 mind you) got mild nappy rash on and off.
I was lazy and used disposables on her, couldn't bare the thought of cloth nappy's. I had a hard enough time doing everything else, so good on you for starters!!! :thumbsup:
Anyway (:ecomcity:) yes, she did get slight nappy rash, I just put a bit of bepanthen or other similar creams to get rid of it or to act as a barrier to prevent it. My understanding is that it can be pretty common with bubs to get nappy rash from disposables, practically everyone i know has used a barrier cream at some stage to prevent it.
I would say that it may be more likely from her not being used to it, IYKWIM than it not agreeing with her.
IMO I'd say that if there was a huge problem it would've been a lot more than just redness?...
There must be a big difference in the way that it feels...

All the best.

Whenever DD gets a bit red in her area I use Gaia Skin Soothing Lotion. It has calendula in it and goes on really thick. Really noice stuff it is.....I use it on myself too! :thumbsup:

Funny you should post this because I was just saying in another thread that we went away on holidays and only got back today- we used sposies the whole time we were away, whereas normally Mason is in cloth all day and sposies only at night. He started getting a bit of a nappy rash on the first day and I think it was because of the sposies! I was really surprised and it goes to show how gentle and soft cloth must be on their little bums :yes:

ohh wow *off to hunt for your thread*. I am suprised her bum looked like it had been slapped, thats how red it was, it was every pary of where the nappy was. She does have a few pimple like spots too but i did use some paw paw and its looks better this morning. Its so damn wet here and i have all wet nappies on the clothes horse, usually i boost her flats or put a mcn on her at night as she sleeps 5 hours. Last night i sat there making a few fleece boosters so i didnt have to use that other sposie lol.

I am glad its not just me, honestly i didnt think she would get such a red mark, although its not bad it is a little angry looking!

Now i have more reason to tell dh the benefits of cloth lol

yeah my dd gets this from sposies every now and then- they key is to nip it in the bum so to speak lol.
Try calmers cocoa butter/bum butter it works great.
