For nappy rash, try vaseline

Nappy rash - try vaseline

By Value hunter on Jan 4, 2010 | In Common sense, Baby

There are a vast selection of fancy creams and lotions around to help prevent and to relieve nappy rash.

Without doubt the best method we have come across (and one of the cheapest), is good old fashioned vaseline.

Rubbed well in, vaseline creates a barrier.

Other creams such as sudocrem, might be the market leader, but on our baby - who is now almost 4 months old - we found after two days of using sudocrem, nappy rash started appearing.
We returned to vaseline and within a day or so, the nappy rash cleared up.
After about 12 weeks, we ran out of vaseline and used the sudocrem again for about three days, once again the nappy rash returned.

So we went back to vaseline and are staying with it, because it works!
