Wetbas, are ideal when you go out and need a place to put your nappies. Wetbags are also ideal if your baby either goes to a childminder or creche. The creche or childminder can place soiled nappies in one convenient bag, ready to be given back to you when you pick up your baby or child.

NAPPY RASH

Nappy rash is less likely to occur with real nappies. However it can still occur an din most cases there is a reason for it. Some babies get nappy rash during teething period. Others, as a consequence of something they ate. In any case, it is important to seek medical attention if you think your baby's rash is getting worse or causing great discomfort.

Always avoid cheimcals where possible, by using natural balms, and creams. This will help your baby's skin and will reduce the chances of nappy rash. leaving your baby without a nappy, even while lying on the changing mat/unit for whatever length of time you may be able to do so. Even 5 minutes would make a difference to your baby's skin.

REUSABLE WIPES

We recommend the usage of reusable wipes, especially for sensitive skin. Use and simply place in the same bucket that of your soiled nappies and wash all together. For an even more natural approach, make your own wiping solution, such as water and Tea Tree oil, or Lavender or both. place in a spray bottle and use with wipes. Reusable wipes are available through our website, click here.

REAL NAPPIES AND CREAM

Ensure that if you use creams or balms, that the area does not touch the nappy directly. Usually the liner creates a barrier and protects the nappies from balms and creams. This is not to say you can't use them, most parents use creams and they are safe to use with Real Nappies. Simply ensure that cream does not go directly onto the nappy as this can cause the nappy to become water resistant. If this occurs, simply follow the instructions for stripping your nappies (under Smelly Nappy Heading). This will remove any residue build up from washing agents, creams or balms.
