Barrier cream?

I am a FTM, do I need to use a barrier cream with every nappy change? I have been using sudocrem but unsure if this is necessary

No, I only used it if it was necessary. A light coating if it looks like baby's bottom is getting sore to avoid nappy rash.

Definitely no need at every nappy change. Only if nappy rash occurs or looks likely. Congratulations by the way!

We used it every night so I didn’t have to disturb the baby with nappy changes once she was about a month old. Sudocrem is fine or metanium is good for proper nappy rash
