Broken bum

Hey ladies, my 4 week olds bum is slightly broken out. Constantly changing his nappy’s after his dirty nappy’s but I can’t seem to keep on top of his wee bum breaking out. I am using Metanium and talc and bathing him regularly. I was just wondering does anyone have any other recommendations or ideas that I could do?

What do you mean with broken out? Sometimes having baths too often can also make their skin a bit worse as it is so sensitive.. are you using wipes or cotton wool? You could change wipes or switch temporarily to water and cotton wool to see if it helps.. one of the best things to do is for them to air it out but I understand it can be quite tricky with it being chilly.. hope he gets better soon x

Sorry Isa very red and raw is probs best to describe it. I’ve only ever used water and cotton wool. Very frustrating but thankfully he doesn’t seem to be in pain by it x

I'd arrange an appointment with the GP and they'll likely provide you with a stronger cream for babies bum, I had a similar situation with my first!

I have the same situation, I'm using sudosalve which seems to help when it gets really red and broken skin.

@Marianne I actually bought this earlier! Fingers crossed this helps xx

Use olive oil to clean the metanium off so you aren’t having to scrub it off when cleaning.
