My 7 week old is getting blisters in his nappy region despite daily baths, using bepanthen as a barrier and very regular nappy changes. I think his nappies aren't absorbent enough so his skin is staying wet when he wees so I'd like to try a different brand - looking for recommendations for absorbent nappies for sensitive skin please! 🙏

Have you dried dropping a bath? Advice is usually to not bath every night as their skin is sensitive and dries them out too much

Also, try to leave the baby without diaper in the day time when you know you can change sheets. Having diaper on all day sometimes creates room for rashes. Clean with only water and cloth. Only do diaper in the night when you know you won’t be checking in every minute.

Have you considered reusable nappies, you can get great liners that feel dry even when there coming out of the machine (I'd recommend bamboo Milo reusable liners). And if you use thin disposable liners as well it's not as much work as you'd think, just a rinse in the washing machine before putting them on a full wash.
My daughter never got nappie rash with them and I have friends who say similar (although when we used disposable for a weekend away we really regretted it as she was so red we tuck the reusable on holidays after that). The reusable wipes are better too, no chemicals just nice warm water.
I'd also recommend as much nappie free time as you can until it starts to clear up.
he was having fewer baths but the doctor has advised daily baths at the moment to soak the skin in warm water to gently clean it
I'm trying as much as possible but when he's asleep he needs a nappy on which is a lot of the time even in the day!

Have you tried metanium nappy rash treatment? The yellow tube. Only need a tiny amount and to just gently dab it on. After 2 days I'm seeing a massive improvement.
Also if you use baby wipes - stop. Either use cotton wool and water to clean or water wipes
I'll try metanium and water wipes thank you

Coterie diapers are super soft and organic and I never have an issue with my son leaking through. He has super sensitive skin and they don’t bother him at all. They unfortunately are just very expensive.

Have u tried metanium
