My dd is nearly a year old and has hardly ever had nappy rash, perhaps once or twice. Though today, it just seems to have exploded, it's terrible. She's been whinging about sitting down or being held on my hip, screaming and crying immediately if she's had a wee or poo.
I've just changed her, smothered her in cream and she's asleep on the bed (was knackered, not sure if she'll be awake again in an hour or down til the morning now).
She was a bit whingy yesterday as well but no where near as sore. The only changes in her diet have been follow on milk in addion to usual EBM while I'm at work, but she's had that for 2 weeks now, and she had melon yesterday & today - could either of those be the cause?
Whats the best course of action? Do I wake her up later to change her? Do I give her a bath tonight? Do you just slop the cream on & leave it or rub it in (sorry for the dumb questions but we have never used cream before and she's started screaming when we've put cream on today)
TIA
