Care Tips for reducing nappy rash:

Keep it clean - Cleanse your baby’s bottom thoroughly every time you change the nappy. If the area’s really soiled, try dipping your baby’s bottom in a bowl full of warm water with an emollient bath treatment.

Treat the skin - Bepanthen is formulated to help the natural recovery of skin and forms a long lasting, protective waterproof barrier over the skin, while still providing the moisture needed to promote gentle recovery. You can apply it after each nappy change.

Be gentle - Baby-wipes are sometimes too harsh for babies with sore and sensitive skin, so try using cotton wool and warm water instead.

Change the nappy often - It’s vital to stop stale urine being in contact with the delicate skin, so try to change disposable nappies frequently. If you’re using terry nappies, a disposable liner may help protect your baby’s skin

Clean the area thoroughly - At each nappy change the whole area should be cleaned and allowed to dry completely

Use a protective ointment - Coat your baby's bottom with a thin layer of protective ointment such as Bepanthen at every nappy change and especially at bedtime. This reinforces the skins natural barrier and helps stop the irritating chemicals in urine and faeces from penetrating

Allow the skin to breathe - Let your baby kick their legs without a nappy as much as possible, make sure the room’s warm and there’s a towel or nappy mat for any little leaks!

Loosen the nappy - Absorbent disposable nappies can keep the skin dry; but make sure they’re loose enough for air to circulate

Wash carefully - Wash terry nappies in non-biological products to prevent irritation and choose a boil wash to beat the bugs.

Everyday care - For everyday protection from the causes of nappy rash use a gentle ointment designed for baby's delicate skin such as Bepanthen. Many nappy creams available are designed to treat infected nappy rash and contain ingredients such as antiseptics.

Give the skin a chance - Avoid plastic pants and tight clothes as they stop the area breathing.
