Sore Bum
Just looking for any tips. LO has started doing anywhere between 5 and 10 poos a day. We’re monitoring it as per the dieticians advice but he has such a sore bum - it’s bright bright red and so so painful for him. He’s screaming in pain every nappy change. I’ve stopped using baby wipes and gone over to cotton wool and water to try and make it a bit softer for him but just wondering if anyone has any advice on ways to clean him/things to help with the pain. We apply loads of nappy cream every change but that results in loads of tears too because he can’t bear having it touched. It’s been like it for several days now and just don’t feel like it’s going down at all

Do you try and give him nappy free time? Sometimes when changing my Lgs nappy I just leave her nappy off for a bit and make a fuss of her. We play peek a boo or sing whilst she's just lying there. Also we lay her on a towel and after wiping always make sure she's dry by patting her bum with a terry towel
Hi! My LO had the same thing and my doc gave some Zinc supplements and we applied a lot of Sudocrem.
I find naked time really helps as the air helps. We bought some incontinence pads on Amazon and pop LO on them on the floor or on the bed

When my little one had sore bum due to so many poos with an illness Dr advised to use thick layer of sudo cream. I also used metanium which is a treatment cream. And lots of free nappy time defo helps! It’s risky business but always put him on a changing Matt and large towel around him! Usually best straight after a poo ! Hope gets better soon ! X
