Nappy Rash
Nappy rash is mostly caused by your baby being left in a wet or dirty nappy for too long. Stale urine creates a type of ammonia which irritates the baby´s skin leaving it looking red and blotchy. The ammonia breaks down the protective barrier of the skin causing redness and inflammation of the affected area, sometimes a fungal infection set off by dampness under the nappy can cause nappy rash. If left untreated the rash will spread.

Tips to prevent nappy rash

• Change your baby's nappy as regularly as possible
• Give your baby some nappy-free playtime
• Wash your baby's bottom with tepid water and allow it to dry
• Make sure that you have cleaned in all the crevasses
• If you are using cloth nappies you should switch to disposables until the rash has cleared up
• Steer clear of detergents or fabric conditioners until the rash has cleared
• Don't fasten the nappy too tightly giving it some air to breath
• Use a nappy cream such as Kamillosan to provide a barrier against wetness
