Let’s ask our Nappy Experts: Nappy rash creams, bottom balms and washable cloth nappies – Just what do I need to know?

Emma from Wrap ‘Em recommends:

Liners liners liners We don’t tend to use any creams without a liner to protect the nappy.

Kendall from Australian Baby Supplies recommends:

It is best to use a liner if using creams with your nappies. This will protect the nappy from contact with the cream and reduce the likelihood of absorption issues.

Melissa from Little Para Pants recommends:

Once in a while I use some urtica or calendula cream. A good squirt of breast milk on the rashy area does wonders too! Just be sure whatever you use won’t stain the nappy.

Charndra from Part Time Nappy Free recommends:

I have never used any of them, but understand a liner is the way to go. Nappy Free time, a squirt of breastmilk and any redness will hopefully fade away… Nappy Free Time is my solution to any sign of redness!

Nyree from Kodomo recommends:

Whilst cloth nappies are good for preventing nappy rash, sometimes your little one may be affected. Petroleum and zinc based nappy rash creams might clog the fibres of the cloth so during these times either look for an application that doesn’t contain either of those ingredients (there are plenty on the market) or use a liner to protect the longevity of your nappies.
