Nappy rash and nappy thrush
Rest assured, nappy rash is not inevitable and there are several things you can do to minimise, prevent and treat it.
Skin

Detergent fragrances cover the smell of surfactants. Sensitive, plant-based and ‘eco’ detergents contain less fragrances than mainstream detergents.
