Nappy rash is a common problem that causes red patches on a baby’s bottom.
It can be caused by your baby’s skin being in contact with urine or faeces for a long time, their nappy rubbing against their skin, not cleaning the nappy area or not changing the nappy often enough.
Certain soaps, detergents, bubble baths or alcohol-based baby wipes can also cause nappy rash.
Nappy rash can be caused by many things and it’s usually nothing to worry about - in fact, most babies will develop a nappy rash at some point.
It can be caused by not changing your baby’s nappy for a long period of time, not cleaning the nappy area properly, certain soaps, detergents or bubble baths, alcohol-based baby wipes, teething and certain medicines.
Most children get nappy rash at some point, and Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment is a great way to ease their discomfort.
However, there are some ways you can help to prevent their nappy rash in the first place.
We’d advise changing your child’s nappy regularly, and avoid leaving them in wet or dirty nappies for too long.
Bathe your baby every day and make sure that the whole nappy area is cleaned thoroughly yet gently with every nappy change.
