What can you do to prevent and treat it?

• Change nappies frequently if using cloth or cheap disposable nappies
• Leave your baby without a nappy as much as possible
• Use soap only once a day as they can dry and irritate the skin
• Clean her bottom with cotton wool and water instead of wipes
• Pat baby dry thoroughly after washing – especially the skin creases and bottom
• Consider changing the brand of disposable nappies or from disposable to cloth nappies and vice versa
• Sterilise, wash and rinse fabric nappies thoroughly
• Line cloth nappies with nappy liners
• Use a thick protective layer of barrier cream on the bottom and genital area if you are using cloth nappies. Only use a thin film of cream if you use disposables.

If the rash does not disappear after a day or two or if blisters appear, call your doctor or pharmacist.
