hi,
my sons busy bees nursery has just banned sudocrem and most other barrier creams (except vaseline and bepanthen) as they claim they contain peanut oils. i have looked on the labe and also emailed sudocrem to ask, but has anyone else heard this before?

is it a nation wide busybees thing or just ours?

im a bit annoyed as sudocrem is the only thing that works on ds2 to prevent him getting nappy rash, esspess while he suddenly has a rapid influx of teeth at the moment!
