Not sure how to put this so will just be blunt


My baby has his first really bad bit of nappy rash causing him a lot of pain when I touch it so I'm trying to be as quick as possible with the cream


Do you put the cream all over or just on the rash?

Is it ok to put it right in his bum crack or it the anus bit too sensitive? can't really tell if the nappy rash extends in there


Any other tips? I'm considering breaking out the talc to avoid touching him as it really bothers him


Cheers

...hadn't noticed ref to talc!! Agree with Monkey to avoid the talc. Would suggest even less than a pea size lump would do - is much easier to add more than try and take any away/get it off your fingers afterwards! I use metanium on bugglet's bum every night and (touch wood) at 18mths she's never had anything more than a bit of redness on her bum.

Feeling your pain on the nappy rash front? :-/ Teething is just shite.


I just bought Metanium and it seems really good. Was previously using sudocrem or waitrose bottom butter but other than providing a bit of a barrier, they didn't seem to help.


Have to say I haven't been spreading it very thin, I've been lathering it on, mostly because it's easier and faster and there's less touching/rubbing because every contact makes my wee one cry in pain right now.


With any luck, it'll have done its job and he'll be less raw in the morning.

It's awful isn't it

Mines been going through a poo every nappy stage which has led to this, I'm wishing I'd done a bit of preventative cream but at least I know fr next time.

I think we will try to get a docs appt just t check him out. He isn't in as much pain today but it still looks very red.

Thanks for all the advice

Yes, docs a good idea as they can prescribe stuff if it's fungal. Lots of nappy free time helps, as does making sure the bottom is bone dry before you put on any cream. A hairdryer on the very coolest setting helps.


Good luck getting it sorted. It is really miserable for them, poor things, but it can be cleared up quite quickly.

We bought some metanium yesterday and his bum looks almost normal, so thank you very much for the tip. The difference is incredible.


Anyone else going though a green poo / poo every nappy stage, might be worth getting some in, just in case! Otherwise lloyds on north cross road stock it.

. . . and change his/her nappy a lot more frequently until it's gone.


Another Metanium fan here. Am well past nappy rash now but swore by it when mine were babies.


Is it possible that your baby is teething - disgusting nappies often go hand-in-hand with teeth arriving?

Sounds like metanium has done the trick for you. I do like Metanium but I absolutely LOVE raw egg white. It is the most amazing thing for nappy rash IMO and has cleared it up pretty much instantly whenever I've used it. It goes on really smoothly and looks so soothing, I swear by it and it's always my first choice when I see any redness (better on cloth nappies too). An old wives tale that really works!

    • Surely nobody is going to want books in poor condition, unless they are rare and possibly valuable?
    • Is that not only true within certain hours? I just did a quick Google and this came up (not specifically Southwark): The Noise Act 1996 defines "night hours" as 11 pm to 7 am, and local councils can take action if noise levels are excessive during this time. This means they can issue warning notices or even investigate for a statutory nuisance if the noise is particularly disruptive, according to Gov.uk.  I'm sure it's more complicated than that, and I'm sure it's been discussed on here before, though I can't remember which thread.
    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
