FACT:
- PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!
MYTH:
- Babies do not need Bum Cream.
FACT:
- A GOOD BUM CREAM forms a protective barrier between the delicate skin of a baby’s bum and the soiled nappy.
- Apply on clean, dry skin with EVERY diaper change.
MYTH:
- Diapers ONLY need to be changed 6-8 hourly or when properly soiled.
FACT:
- Wet and soiled nappies can irritate the delicate skin and within a few hours a rash can appear. So change regularly!
MYTH:
- Using ONLY wipes is fine.
FACT:
- A soft lukewarm wet cloth with mild Baby wash/shampoo used at least twice every 12 hours works wonders to leave a bum clean and fresh! Pat dry and GIVE IT AIR for a few minutes! Remember that bum is covered with a nappy 24/7!!!!
MYTH:
- The most expensive Bum Cream can heal any nappy rash.
FACT:
- NO Bum Cream will heal a Candida Nappy rash ( red spots becoming little blisters and forming open sores)
- Candida is a fungal infection and need to be treated with a clotrimazole cream.
- Remember to continuously use this cream for a month even if the rash has disappeared. A fungus has a spore that needs to be treated properly otherwise it will flare up and the rash will even worsens.
