smooth as a baby's bottom

The dreaded 'nappy rash' has a tendency to attack the poor bubba when mumma least expects it. Like a thief in the night it can come and take up residence on that smooth baby bottom skin. Thankfully, Claire has only ever had the mildest of cases - just a bit of redness now and then. Since she was a teeny tiny newborn we have been using Palmer's Bottom Butter:

 

 

It is made with Pure Cocoa Butter with Vitamins A, D and Pro Vitamin B5. The great thing is that it not only soothes that sensitive area when it is a bit sore, but acts as a barrier cream to prevent rash and redness in the first place, which I think is the key.

 

I find that when I slacken off in using it, and don't apply it at every nappy change, then that's when I start noticing a bit of a red bot. But lather some of this stuff on and she's back to normal so fast it's not funny.

 

I know first hand that this product doesn't suit every bub though. I recommended it to a friend and she tried it on her daughter, and it wasn't the thing for them. But for Miss Claire it is perfect. An added bonus too is that it smells so yummy! After changing a poo-y nappy, it's nice to be able to freshen up the area with a nice smelling cream.

 

If you're looking to try it yourself, I get my supply from Priceline and it comes in a handy little 'nappy bag sized' tube as well as the big fella, so that you can use it on the go too.

 

Gosh, this post really sounds like a sales pitch, but honestly it's been one of our fave products. In our family we're not all about having every single baby product that you're told by the magazines that you need, cause in reality babies don't need/want all that stuff (it's usually the everyday items that they find most amusing - like mummy's water bottle or daddy's watch), but this one makes our 'essentials' list.

 

I'm interested - what have YOU found to be a lifesaver when it comes to nappy time?
