Best nappies for nappy rash

My baby has abit of nappy rash and has a small sore. I check his nappy every half hour during the day to make sure it’s changed as soon as he’s wet so it doesn’t get worse but if anyone has anything that has worked for them let me know, especially in terms of what nappies to use.

When my LB was newborn he ended up a bit raw on his bum from me accidentally overusing metainium🥲

I did what your doing changed him regularly and i used damp
Cotton pads to clean and loaded his little bum with plenty of vaseline at every change - healed up within a week xx

Light use of metanium and if you can just take the nappy off and wrap him in a towel so his bum gets some fresh air

Kokoso baby coconut oil is good for lots of skin problems, it says also for nappy rash

Do you use a barrier cream or bepanthen? That’ll clear it up and barrier cream (like Weleda) means that you don’t need to change their nappy as regularly as it protects it.

I’m just using lots of Vaseline at the moment on the sore and a little bit of sudocrem on the rash x

@Laura Weleda nappy cream is really good and will heal the skin.

Pampers caused an awful rash but eco by naty were fine and mamia seem okay atm as we’re trialing them as i dont like the lack of wetness detector in eco as theyre so absorbent if its a small pee you wont realise 🤣

Metanium yellow to clear the rash and the metanium barrier cream or barrier spray have kept it at bay now

I’ve never had an issue with Pampers and Water Wipes. Expensive but worth it!

Second water wipes, we were using the huggies version which was irritating her more and the moment we switched wipes n nappies it hugely improved

Kit&Kin nappies - they are great ! Water wipes plus sudocrem.

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
