Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 My son is only 4 months old and all we use is cotton wool and water, because we were told that wipes are not suitable for babies under six months. This is apparently because they could be allergic, and I have used them on him, and he has been fine. However, water is cheaper!! so we use wipes now when out and about, and water at home. Sudocreme is fab for nappy rash, but he suffers fungal infections alot, so a tube of canestan is always on hand...god knows what my chemist must think about me!! I have been through 4 tubes in as many months!! Have to use pampers as tried the rest and they all leak on him, want to try cloth nappies, but feel very lazy and they are quite expensive to outlay.

I am so way past nappy changing stage that I thought I wouldn't contribute anything to this thread but.... I was told to avoid using any creams with dispoables as they can block the lining material and reduce absorption. Might be absolute codswallop but I didn't use cream after that (DD was about 6 days old) but she had a lot of nappy-free time from then on - encouraged by my mum who gave me the courage to put down a thick towel and not worry if she peed (you have to know just how uptight my mum is about her carpets to understand how this gave me confidence). -- Sue Melbourne, Australia mum to Steffi the Pomwi 4.5yo > > > SAHM to Rohan (4 mths) > > *** NCT enquiry line - 0 *** > > Live chat http://www.yahoogroups.com/chat/nct-coffee > > Have you found out about all the other groups for the NCT online? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
