How to prevent nappy rash

Here is some helpful advice on nappy rash:

Do

  • Allowing your baby to move around without a nappy on for as long as possible i.e. after a bath in a warm room.

  • Change nappies regularly

  • Cleanse and dry the skin thoroughly especially the skin folds as candidal infections are particularly found in these areas.

  • Dry your baby's skin gently by patting rather than rubbing as this could damage the skin, worsen their nappy rash and make it prone to infection.

  • Wash your hands thoroughly before and after changing nappies. Ensure you dispose of nappies hygienically.

Don't

  • Don't use plastic pants as this can trap moisture against your baby's skin.
  • Avoid strong detergent on terry nappies and rinse thoroughly. If you are worried consult a pharmacist or doctor.
