Why No Lotions?    (nappies top)

Babies are born with a natural protective layer on the outside: the skin.  The skin is, however, also absorbent, especially if exposed to a chemical for a long time.

Babies need nappies for about three years. If a cream or lotion gets on a baby's bottom, every time the nappy is changed, what effect will it have over such a long period?

If possible, babies' bottoms should be left exposed to fresh air for some time every day. 

Remember of course that the baby must be kept warm. For additional protection for the cot or mat, our washable underpad is the perfect solution when you want to air you baby's bottom.
