Powder won't heal up nappy rash. You need to use a cream to get rid of the soreness. Sudocreme is good, as is Bepanthen and there are plenty of others on the shelf to choose from.
Once the soreness is gone you can use powder to help keep things dry and smelling fresh but you are supposed to take care when shaking it as the powder in the air is bad for them (it was all over the news a few years ago). You are supposed to put the powder in a pot and dip in a cotton wool ball and apply that way but to be honest it's such a faff! I usually half twist the lid and shake a little out at a time. You just have to be sensible and not pour it on from 3 feet in the air like TV dads do!Can i use Johnsons baby powder on my baby's bum?
Another reason youre not recommended to use it is because it can cause breathing problems. Check the side of your container, it actually has a warning label on the Johnson's baby powder about this.
I just keep the bum dry as possible remembering to let it air dry after a change and before putting the diaper on, putting some vaseline on the area-- make sure its completely dry so you dont trap any moisture!
Baby powder will not get rid of the nappy rash. At 8 days old you are best to use warm water and cotton wool to clean the area. Make sure the skin is dry before you apply a nappy rash cream like Sudacrem or Metanium before every nappy change. Also leave off the nappy for an hour or so and let the air get to the nappy rash it will speed up the healing process.
if its a boy and he is circumcised, make sure that is healed up.. but i would just use a diaper rash cream because that is going to keep the urine from sitting on baby's butt. the powder isn't going to do anything but collect the urine and keep it on the bum... so just get a diaper rash cream. thats the best way to go about it. i never used baby powder on my son and he didn't have his first diaper rash until he was 8 months old.. and i only used the diaper rash cream a little at night
Baby powder is not good for them to breathe in, especially if it contains talc. It doesn't really help, anyway. Get something with zinc oxide in it, like Butt Paste (which has worked very well for us). If that doesn't clear it up, it may not be a diaper rash but actually a yeast infection. Then, your doctor can prescribe or make suggestions for what you can use.
Of course you can use baby powder on your baby's bum, it will prevent the nappy from rubbing and help to make sure he/she is dry before you fasten the nappy. There is nothing wrong with using a cream too, but talc is fine - just don't shake the container from up in the air.
since i was warned that , if inhaled, it could kill them i decided never to use baby powder on my son. i use sudocrem n bepanthen though the sudocrem is more worth it. i read that powder dries up the skin.
the best thing to do, apart from creams is to expose it to air.. put him on his bed/playmat with a changing-mat underneath without a nappy n let his skin breathe. my son didnt hav a prob with nappy rash but when i saw it gettin a bit red i would do all of the above plus change his nappy every 2 hours whether he had a bowel movement or not. the exp brands are usually better n if u use cloth nappies u should purchase some disposable just for the night.

Baby powder can hurt them?
wow, then my mum and my grandmother must be shot then.
Baby powder doesn't prevent nappy rash, it just freshens them.
Bepanthen is WONDERFUL for nappy rash, it provides a water proof barrier - and takes redness away almost immediately.
I would use sudocream its really good, the first sign of a rash i put it on my 4 month old and its gone. Also i wouls try leaving your baby with no nappy on for a short while at times this is also good for babies development.
Baby powder wont help the sore bum but it well prevent it a bit. Put something like sudocrem on where it's sore and in future if you use talc it might help keep the area a bit drier.
I recently was advised against using powder since the dust it creates can be harmful for baby to breathe.
Burt's Bees ';baby bee'; diaper rash ointment works really well.
Don't put the powder on his sore. That will probably irritate it. Just put some neosporin or healing cream on it. Good luck!
Try putting the johnsons baby lotion if its barley getting red and i would suggest using it every other time that you change his diaper
Seemly talc can cause some cancers, that's why its not on any latex gloves anymore

Use Sudacream
no - use sudocrem every change- it's outstandingly good, my boy has never had nappy rash and is over 8 months now
keep nappy off a few mins between changes to dry bum
NO! Powder is dangerous for babies...google it ';Talcum powder baby danger'; it can get to their lungs...just give him plenty of time without a nappy and put some bepanthen on it.
Sudocrem. Nothing works better in my experience.
no they so no but cream powder sting to if they have baby rash
