Baby changing - do you need nappy cream and barrier cream?

[atvh]

Just that really - do you need both or are they one and the same? I was going to go for Weleda Calendula cream after reading good reviews on Amazon..

Unless the child is sore, you won't need either. Weleda is a well respected make.

When DD was teething and ended up with nappy rash bepanthen was my "go to" cream.

You don’t need both.

The weleda calendula is bloody amazing and I won’t use anything else now on my DTs.

We always used Vaseline at every nappy change

You rarely need anything. Only in event of a problem.

If one occurs, the best approach is frequent changes and as much diaper free time as possible. We would just lay some cloth prefolds underneath diaper less baby.

I don't use anything routinely. Just a bit of yellow metanium if looking a bit sore.

The yellow cream if getting a bit red. That's all

I only used it when bottom was getting sore/red - but yes the Weleda one is amazing. Worked better on DD1's nappy dash than the sudocrem or the yellow one (metanium?)

Neither unless there's soreness. Which is hardly ever ime. Bepanthen all the way here.
