Nappy rash/thrush again!

Baby is 6 weeks old. She is breast fed and poops round the clock. At least after every feed. While it was hot a few weeks ago she developed nappy rash that turned into thrush. Treated the area and it went away. A week later there is another rash developing which looks a bit thrush like to me. So I was going to start the treatment again. I used sudocrem from the pot the past two nights could that have caused a reinfection?
I’m constantly changing her nappies to the point where all I seem to do is nappies and feeding. I have been using water and cotton wool and leaving to air dry when possible. But she poops round the clock. It’s a never ending cycle to try and stop these rashes. I can’t keep on top of it x

Sudocream never really helped my babies. Try Metanium.

Be very mindful of what you eat as what you eat affects her tummy.

Also yellow metanium cream is brilliant for Nappy rash!

I use a bit of olive oil in warm water and cotton wool. It clears rashes very quickly

Try and call the GP for proper thrush/rash cream.
