Nappy changing routine

[Guest guest]

janet:

how you clean their bum; what products (if any) do you smear all over

for 'protection'.

:

Thankfully past this stage now, but I used wipes (Boots, soft wipes,

frangrance free), then a clean tissue

to dab dry. (I hate smelly wipes- eugh, makes me shiver thinking

about it)

Initially I used cotton wool and water as this is what I was told to

use while I was in hospital after giving birth. I carried on for a day

or two, then asked my midwife who was visiting if it was OK to use

wipes as the water was a bit of a pain. New mum syndrome - almost

asking for permission to change what I'd been told in hospital.

Thankfully she was very reassuring and told me hospital routines

weren't always the real world for looking after newborns at home and

todo whatever I wanted. Never looked back.

I have changed through the years with DS1 I used cream as I thought

it was the " done " thing.

DS2 never really bothered and with DS3 have never bothered with

creams unless his bum is sore and I think that has only been 1 or 2

times in 23 months.

I use baby wipes (whatever is on BOGOF) and disposable nappies, and

never change him very often (unless he stinks!)

I did this for a year...! My DD was so precious.. I didn't want her pure little

bottom full of chemicals, haha. She still developed either thrush or ringworm

and all creams, wipes, lotions etc just made it much worse - so that prolonged

the pure cotton wool and water stage for ages.

Needless to say DS has been on wipes from the first change in hospital... (but

they had developed Pampers Sensitive by then, which doesn't have that perfumed

smell).
