This week's contributor is Narisha Ashelford, Certified Sleep Consultant and DU'IT Baby Skincare Expert. MYTH 4: I don't need to use a barrier cream or powder on my baby's nappy area. Nappy change cream and powder offers protection to those sensitive areas that are exposed to urine and faecal matter. Nappy rash is extremely painful and may lead to secondary infections. Antifungal medicated creams will need to be used if the nappy rash persists. If the rash doesn't improve within one to two weeks, consult your local doctor. If a rash has developed, make sure to use change cream that contains zinc oxide, shea or cocoa butter and other regenerative properties to better soothe these affected areas.
Protection is essential in this area, and that's why I recommend using products with high concentration of protective ingredients and talc free liquid powder. This will mean less mess and less excessive drying when changing your baby.
