Nappy rash is one of the most common rashes in babies but it’s also one of the most misunderstood.

Not every red bottom is ‘just nappy rash’, and not every cream is the right solution. And often a few simple tweaks can help clear it right up and save you days of traumatic nappy changes.

In this carousel, I’m breaking down:
✨ What nappy rash actually is
✨ The most common causes
✨ What really helps (and what doesn’t)
✨ When it’s time to seek medical advice

To help you feel more confident the next time your little one has a sore bottom.

Save this post for later, share it with another parent, and remember: if your baby’s rash isn’t improving, seems very painful, is blistering, bleeding, or your baby is otherwise unwell, it’s always worth having it assessed by your GP or child health nurse.

Lately I’ve had quite a few questions about what Mums & Bubs actually is and who it’s for… so I thought I’d clear it up!
Mums & Bubs is so much more than a mother’s group. It’s a space to connect with other mums, learn from trusted local experts, ask the questions you’ve been Googling at 2am, and leave feeling supported, informed and a little less alone.
Whether you’re a first-time mum, navigating life with a new baby again, or simply looking for your village, there’s a place for you here.
If you’ve been sitting on the fence about coming along, this is your sign. 💛
I’d love to welcome you and your little one

A simple and slow Monday to end our long weekend:
🪾Rope swings
🍊 freshly squeezed orange juice
🥾bush strolls
🪻wildflower picking

Not pictured:
😡The HUGE meltdown over wanting to pick more flowers
🚽 The zillions of toilet stops
🏠 The mess that my house is in
🔢 The number of times I had to say ‘put your shoes on!’

But between the messiness of life we found some little glimmers of joy today and it was beautiful.

I hope you’ve found the same today but if not, it’s nearly bedtime woohoo!!
