Nappy rash: let's give mothers more help
Nappy rash affects most babies at some stage. It can occur at any time during the nappy-wearing years, but reaches a peak between 7 and 12 months. Nappy rash causes discomfort to babies and distress to mothers, who often feel guilty and ill-prepared for this problem. Keeping the nappy area dry is the most important factor in prevention and treatment. Recommend frequent changes of nappy and leaving the area uncovered when possible. Thrush is present in many cases of nappy rash. Keeping the area dry deprives thrush of the opportunity to thrive.
