Nappy rash is very common in babies, and most rashes are mild and settle with good nappy care. This range brings together nappy rash cream and barrier ointments from Bepanthen, Sudocrem, Caldease and Weleda, for use at changing time to help protect and soothe your baby's skin.
Barrier ointments such as Bepanthen form a protective layer between the skin and a wet or dirty nappy, which is why many parents use them at every change. Creams such as Sudocrem are thicker and are often chosen when the skin already looks red and sore. Weleda Nappy Change Cream is made with calendula for parents who prefer a plant-based option. Whichever you use, change nappies often, clean the area gently, let the skin dry fully and apply a thin layer rather than a thick coat.
All products here are stocked at Leahy's Pharmacy, a family-run Irish pharmacy in Tralee, Co. Kerry, and our pharmacists are always happy to look at a rash or answer questions. Speak to your GP or public health nurse if the rash does not improve, spreads, has spots or blisters, or your baby has a temperature. For more baby care, see our baby range.
