There is no true way to describe the sweetness that is your baby. When I say sweetness I literally mean their skin is sweet-smelling. Its softness will be the best thing you will touch in your whole life, not to mention you love them more than anything EVER. As your baby grows you will be in awe of the miracle you made (go you!), the wonder that is yours to keep.
Yes, babies are our whole lives and that is why our hearts break at the utterance of two words that shake the very being of mums and dads all around the world: NAPPY RASH
Why is this even a thing? How could the powers that be bestow such an unfairness on something so perfect? How dare the angry red rash intrude upon the flawlessness of your baby’s skin, upsetting the angel you love so dear?
Who knows? From wind to teething to this mini-bottom monster, there are so many things we need to watch out for when it comes to our little ones. Babies between the ages of 6-12 months are the most prone to nappy rash?! The injustice is real!
There are a number of things that contribute to the onset of nappy rash. A premie baby might be more prone. Teething can cause the rash to develop as well as a change in diet, or even weaning. After vaccines or antibiotics, during an illness or diarrhoea or from conditions like thrush or eczema. Yes, the list is infinate, which means that you would be lucky to get away with avoiding this issue over the course of your parenting career. The worst part is, even if it does go away, it might come back!
The sight of the painful rash again just when you thought you had things on track, can leave you feeling defeated. The best feeling comes from finding a product that actually works. One such gem, is Frezyderm.
Frezyderm’s Baby Cream stops the development of nappy rash by protecting the skin from moisture, irritants and secretions. Made specifically for babies with a low percentage of zinc oxide, it reduces irritation by letting your little one’s flawless skin breathe naturally. Chamomile oil, sooths and panthenol heals. The creme is thin in texture and is easily spread, creating a protective barrier for your little one!

There’s also the Baby Foam cleanser, which is really mild and gentle for baby’s skin. There’s no irritation, and it moisturises with an emollient and anti-inflammatory ingredient, that hydrate and calm sensitive and irritated skin. They really are some of the best products out there.
