What causes 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 their nappy for a long period of time, resulting in them being in extended contact with wee or poo; not cleaning the nappy area properly; soap, detergent or bubble bath; alcohol-based baby wipes and certain medicines.
