Is it normal for my 6 weeks old bum to be so sore its started to bleed now? I’ve been using sudocrem and that initially seemed to have calmed it down however it is bleeding this morning.
Any suggestions?

Sudocream might be too strong, this happened with my little one. We ended up taking him to the GP and he had a little yeast infection which causes these soars that bleed we were prescribed a yeast cream like caniston…. We also now use Drapolean which is much softer on his skin.

Call your doctor before doing anything more at that point

I was sick of his nappy rash at 4-5w old so I did a trial of cloth nappies and his rash went away w no creams so I’ve stuck to the cloth for the rest of his journey. When I showed pics to my Dr he said it was chemical burn from the disposables.
