Bum cream

This might sound dumb but do u use it all the time or only for nappy rash? We never put anything on Rach and her ass has been okay? I only use vaseline if she makes a big poo.

We use Fishan paste and Bennets bum cream. We have always used bum cream

I use Bennetts every time and if her bum is a little red from teething or what ever I use Sodecrem (sp)

I use fissan paste with every nappy change

Oh wow maybe I should also then? What does it really do if there is no rash though?

I never used bum creams unless their bums looked like they needed it. I used Vasceline to soothe

I have only use petroleum jelly (vaseline), only bethpathean or multipeol for nappy rash. Vaseline keeps them dry and protects against wetness. It is soothing and safe you a lot of money as well.

We use bennets bum cream or the fissan paste cream after every poo nappy and D has never had a nappy rash even if he was teething.

My dad told me not to use it.

I think it also has to do with which brand of nappies you use

We don't use at every nappy change. Use Bepanthen if her bum needs something.

I think it depends on the sensitivity of the child. I use Bennets at night as a barrier when I'm not going to do a nappy change now. But when he was small I but it on with every nappy change.

Tarryn, we were "taught" to use bum cream at every change (this is in the NICU) BUT..........

I'm too lazy and it's expensive.

So about 5 months in, I started slacking off. Used up all the proper bum cream and now we use Vaseline (but the nice-smelling baby ones).

Although I read in the Pampers marketing material that you don't need bum cream if you use Pampers ... We do use Pampers.

Oh, our kids have never had a nappy rash. I actually have a tub of Fissan paste that I've used once or twice when the bum started looking like it wanted to go "funny"

After every change. It creates a barrier between skin & nappy preventing a rash caused by excess moisture. lately I've been slacking off a bit, but a few weeks ago both babies had diahrroeah from teeting and Michael got a bad rash so i went back to using it after every change.

By the way ladies, at Baby City the 500ml Bennets bum cream is selling for R50! I think that is quite a good price but not sure...

I don't use anything unless her little bum is a bit red, then use the honey one or sudocreme ...

I still prefer to use cream (normally bennets) with every nappy change, it's like second nature.

And then I use a special mix for the odd times that he has had a rash...
