Nappy Change

If your baby is sleeping soundly, there's no need to wake them for a nappy change. But if they're crying or seem unsettled, it's worth checking — a full nappy might be the culprit.

For newborns, a nighttime feed is the perfect opportunity to do a quick check. Bonus: a nappy change can help rouse a sleepy feeder and keep them awake long enough to finish their feed.

And if your baby starts sleeping through the night? Don't disturb them — and enjoy the rest you've been waiting for!

The simple rule: as often as needed. Change your baby's nappy as soon as it's soiled — whether from urine or stool — to prevent irritation, redness, and nappy rash.

For newborns and young babies, this typically aligns with feeding times, roughly every three hours, and at night if needed.

Nappy rash and redness are common — even when you're changing regularly and cleansing gently. The good news is that the right products can help quickly.

At the first signs of redness, apply our Vitamin Barrier Cream at every nappy change. Its patented complex of natural active ingredients helps prevent and reduce irritation in the nappy area.

If redness persists or the skin becomes infected (with oozing), we recommend seeing a doctor.

Yes, applying a change cream at every nappy change helps protect your baby's bottom from irritation caused by prolonged contact with urine and stool, or friction from the nappy itself.

Our Vitamin Barrier Cream can be used at every change, even when there are no signs of redness — think of it as a preventative barrier rather than a treatment.
