Gracie has a very sore bottom just now, she is actually flinching in pain, it isn't a rash as such more of looking scorched/acid burn?
I did change our washing powder when the bold formula got changed as thought that might be the cause, switched to Ariel (will try fairy next). Could it be bananas,she has 1 or 2 a day? Am going to stop giving her them for a couple of day and only offering water to drink - she gets fresh apple diluted down or very dilute juice. x

Does sound like she could be reacting to the detergent, but there shouldn't be any left after the rinses in the wash, anyway... :-?
Hope you manage to suss it out... I guess she can have lots of nappy free time?

Did you read the thing about fleece causing a rash that looks like sunburn as it can hold onto wash chemicals?

aahhh thanks Steph could well be that as we are using fleece liners a lot more now. Might invest in some minkee or silk ones then. Need them quick though :roll:
Jonny, this started before I switched powders and I always do 2 extra rinses, it hasn't been continuous either, well actially think ing about it there is always a bit of redness there. xx

Thanks Jonny.

TBH :oops: the fleece liners are pretty manky, clean but just manky, I am wondering that using cream on them has cause them to get bunged up. x

ouch hope you can sort it - try boots liners in the meantime as you can wash them over and over, but also throw them.

Is it sad that I noticed that you had changed washing powders when I open the parcel you sent me this week? :oops: :giggle:

Lily sometimes does rancid acid poos that burn her bum within seconds/minutes and leave her with open blisters on her bum. Not sure what causes it - possibly teething. Have no advice but lots of sympathy for Gracie. I often put her in a bath when she has done one of those nappies, just to make sure there is no leftover acid after wiping, and to cool down her poor little red bottom. :crossbaby:
