I have in the past put cooking oats in a stocking and soaked in the bath there is a bath wash on the market (not sure of the name) but it is made from oats it just costs way more than buying oats from the supermarket. I found this worked really well for my boy.

If you have babies who are susceptible to bad nappy rash, it is sometimes acidic urine that is the cause.  Make sure they drink a good amount of water each day.

My daughter was one of those bubs who had no sign of it at one nappy change, and her skin was almost raw at the next.  Usually worse when teething too.  I found the best preventative measure was not to use ANY cream or lotion, but to wash her with tepid water, so removing all traces of urine from the skin, and let her "air dry" for a while before putting another nappy on.

just thought id add that this is on the label

Ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice
• before treating yourself, as many skin infections have similar signs and symptoms,
• if you are pregnant or breastfeeding,
• if you are using other things to treat your skin condition, including other medicines, creams or ointments you may have bought at your pharmacy, supermarket or health food shop.

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE ON BABIES EXCEPT UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION.

Unless the nappy rash is diagnosed as caused by a candida infection, you probably shouldn't self diagnose by using medicated creams without professional advice.  This product has only been available over the counter at the pharmacies in Australia for a few years, therefore I wouldn't recommend using it on a baby without instruction from a Doctor.

I have always used Daktozin when bubs bum was really bad. Other wise i always found zinc and castor oil cream to be excellent and also desatin (it is a bit smelly, but works wonders on sore bottoms).

Apparently a teaspoon of baking soda in baby's bath helps

canasten  wont treat nappy rash but it will treat thrush... perhaps your babies had a case of thrush not nappyrash?

i dont think you should advise ppl to use medicated treatment for nappy rash thats all
