Hey all, I had a call from my daughters nursery today saying she had nappy burn from having diarrhoea but prior to today she has had no diarrhoea and her bottom hasn’t been sore or red at all.
I changed her when she got home and she was screaming in pain and trembling when I was wiping her bottom- it is bright bright red all over and looks so painful.
This surely can’t have happened from her having diarrhoea? Surely this has to have happened because they didn’t change her nappy soon enough/waited hours before changing it?
I’m so upset as she’s in so much pain 😢

Hmmmm my little girl has has diarrhoea recently and its been a little red with me changing her as soon as she's been so it is possible they left her sometime in the dirty nappy! It's odd that its come on so suddenly!

Did they use a different brand of nappies? Maybe they don’t agree with her

My boy can get diarrhoea when teething ( not as bad now he’s eating more solids)
But when it was at its worst (2-3 times per feed)
His bun was so bad and he was crying in pain from it and we were changing him straight away.
The yellow cream is amazing and we used water and cotton wool to clean and a flannel to oat dry

I’d definitely be questioning this too as you said it seems to have gotten very sore very quickly. The yellow matainium cream should help it heal quickly. Most nurseries keep ‘nappy charts’ to keep a log of what child had a nappy changed at what time, maybe worth asking to see it?

Usually it'll take a nappy or two to get that bad unless babe is extra sensitive so I'd question their brand of nappies if they don't already use yours and hiw frequently she's been changed. Do they have an app that updates with what they're doing when? Some do and if logged you can see then xx
Yeah she’s never been sensitive- we’ve used 2 different nappy brands. Her nursery use Amazon brand but she’s been okay with these up until now. They log her nappies on an app and there was a gap of 3 hours between a change so she must have done a poo soon after she had been changed 😢 poor girl! I’ll try the cream x
