Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment Review*

Your baby’s little bum is one of the cutest things about them when they are little (apart from the occasional explosions!), but keeping it nice and soft can be a bit of a battle at times. With all that time spent in a nappy, your baby’s skin can become irritated and sometimes develop nappy rash.

Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment Review

When it comes to nappy rash, most parents (and I was one of them) tend to cure rather than prevent it. When Bepanthen got in touch about their Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment, which protects against the causes of nappy rash, as well as help to ease the discomfort of it, i was very interested to hear more.

Up to a third of babies develop nappy rash at any one time so it is pretty common and something important to protect against where possible. After all, you don’t want your little one’s bottoms feeling all sore an uncomfortable whilst they are in their nappy all day.

Nappy rash is an inflammation of the skin, usually caused by prolonged contact with a damp nappy. It can be worse overnight due to the fact that nighttime is the time you baby is in their nappy the longest.

Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment is free from fragrance, preservatives, colours and antiseptics so you can be confident that you can use it on even the mosts sensitive of skin. Babies’ skin is thinner than ours, as adults, and also more absorbent so it tends to need quite a bit more attention than ours does.

What the Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment does is it forms a breathable, transparent, protective layer on your baby’s bottom and helps to keep it free from nappy rash. It also contains pro-vitamin B5, which moisturises and gently aids the recovery of your baby’s skin.

Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment Review

I found when Little I was younger I was able to do ‘free bum time’ – as my mum calls it – a lot more. Basically because she is a girl and was less likely to pee everywhere when her nappy was off! In saying that though, Baby L has had a lot less reactions so far, than the toddler did, so that’s good even without as much fresh air on his bottom.

We have always used a different nappy rash cream on the kids’ skin so I was very intrigued to see how we would get on with the Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment.

The toddler is not in nappies anymore during the day. Only overnight as we haven’t quite cracked that area of potty training yet. Baby L is only 13 weeks old though, so we are very much back in the 8 nappies a day stage again!

Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment Review

We have gotten on really well with the Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment. The texture is great. It’s not too greasy or thick and slides onto your baby’s skin with ease. It also absorbs quickly and evenly. It felt a little bit thick when it first came out of the tube but once it’s on your finger and you start to spread it on the skin, it thins out a lot. It’s the same with the transparency. It’s not too transparent when it first comes out but once it soaks into the skin, it is.

Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment Review

The thing I love the most about the Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment is its packaging. It’s flip top cap is so easy to use and even means you can use the ointment one handed, whilst dealing with your baby or grabbing a nappy at the same time. I’m dreading the ‘on the move whilst trying to change’ stage again, so I will be even more thankful of this easy feature when that time comes I think!

I also really like the fact that you can trust the product and know that it is free from any toxic ingredients, and doesn’t contain any unnecessary ingredients either. I like to keep things as simple as possible when it comes to my children’s skin, so am more likely to enjoy using products such as the Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment, over a heavily scented product.

I have used the Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment a couple times on the toddler and quite a lot on Baby L. Both have gotten on well with it. We’ve had no reactions, it has made their skin softer and has stopped the toddler complaining of a ‘sore bot bot’ after bath time, so that’s a thumbs up from me!

Another exciting thing to share on the Bepanthen front, is that they have launched a new e-book, What the Parenting Manuals Don’t Tell You, by parents for parents – a book providing genuine tips for new or expectant parents from mums and dads who have experienced it all. It has been developed in collaboration with parenting expert, Lisa Clegg, the tips that form the book were crowd-sourced via social media, including a BritMums Twitter party and with humorous and warm-hearted sketches by illustrator and mother, Alyana Cazalet.

You can see (and download) the book online here.

Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment is available at all leading supermarkets, chemists and independent pharmacies and has a RRP of £3.99 for 30g or £7.99 for 100g.

Do you use any creams for nappy rash etc on your little ones?

‘Each of us as citizens, has a role to play in c ‘Each of us as citizens, has a role to play in creating a better world for our children.’ - Nelson Mandela ❤️
It’s not enough though, is it? We’ve always h It’s not enough though, is it?

We’ve always had diverse toys in our house (not enough, but I’m working on it ❤️), but when questioned ‘why do you buy your kids Black dolls?’, I’ve faltered and answered incorrectly. I would respond saying ‘because that’s the doll Isla liked the best. What does it matter? We’re all human’, rather than questioning why that person is questioning it in the first place.

In a massive learning curve this week, where I am actively trying to become an anti-racist ally, not just anti-racist/non racist in general, I have found so many shortcomings in my effort to educate my kids and in my own attitudes towards race. But this isn’t about me. So here are some resources I’d like to share on top of the ones shared in my stories.

Some books to read:
Me and White Supremacy - Layla F. Saad.
Why I’m No Longer Talking To White People About Race - Reni Eddo-Lodge.
How to argue with a racist - Adam Rutherford.
Brit(ish) - Afua Hirsch.
White Fragility - Robin Diangelo.
I Am Not Your Baby Mother - Candice Brathwaite.
So You Want to Talk About Race - Ijeoma Oluo.

Diverse kids books:
Anti Racist Baby - X. Kendi.
Riley Can Be Anything -Davina Hamilton.
Look Up - Nathan Bryon.
Mae Among The Stars - Roda Ahmed.
The Mega Magic Hair Swap - Rochelle Humes.
Let’s Talk About Race - Julius Lester.
Welcome To Our World - Moira Butterfield and Harriet Lynas.
This Book Is Antiracist - Tiffany Jewell.
The Extraordinary Gardener - Sam Boughton.
Let The Children March - Monica Clark-Robinson.
Ruby’s Worry - Tom Percival.
A Kids Book About Racism - Jelani Memory.

Some things to watch:
When They See Us.
13th.
Who Killed Malcom X.
Time: The Kalief Browder Story.
Explained: The Racial Wealth Gap.
Dear White People.
I am Not Your Negro.

My to do list:
- Sign more petitions.
- Donate to more causes.
- Listen to podcasts and share.
- Encourage changes in the school curriculum so that my children, and their classmates, get a better, much more rounded and diverse education.
- Call things out.
- Have honest/open conversations.
- Share content.
- To keep educating myself, whilst never expecting others to do it for me.

It’s just a starting point.

Thanks for listening x

I can never pretend to understand, but I will always stand.

I’ve been on a huge learning curve this week and have, shamefully, come to the realisation, which I should have a long time ago, that it’s not enough to just not be racist. We must also be actively anti-racist and do everything in our power to ensure our children are too.

Today is a day to stop, listen, support, educate ourselves, donate, sign petitions, take action in any way we can, big and small, to make sure that everyone knows we stand with our fellow humans, family and friends. But we can’t just do this today. We must do it each and every day going forward ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
And breathe! First day without both my babies for And breathe! First day without both my babies for the first time in 10 weeks today and it couldn’t have gone better. Both had wonderful days and were full of stories when they got home. I said over on stories last night, which got an incredible response so thank you to everyone who reached out, that I am completely comfortable with my choice to send the kids back to school and nursery but would never, ever judge anyone who felt different. We are all in different boats in this storm we’ve found ourselves in and what works for my family, might not work for yours. I have deliberately stayed out of the ‘are you sending your kids back or not?’ debate as it started to feel like another toxic discussion, in the media and on social media, that was resulting in yet another parenting divide.
I could have had the kids in this whole time, under key worker provision, but tried my best to hang on till the phased reopenings that I hoped would happen when they did. They were what I was aiming towards. Don’t get me wrong, I have LOVED having the kids at home together for such a sustained period, we have made lots of memories and learnt so much more about each other, but mixed in with the nature of my job and the fact that @thisdadalife is deployed and so I’m on my own with minimal support, I couldn’t have gone on much longer.
When I got in from dropping them off today, and as I went upstairs to work at my desk, I literally collapsed on the stairs and almost cried in relief. Relief that we made it through, as dramatic as that sounds. I don’t think I realised the toll it was taking mentally as I was constantly running on adrenaline.
I am so happy to get a bit more balance back and to, most importantly, feel like a better mum again. Not a snappy trying to juggle it all 24/7 with no break mum.
If you sent your kids back today, whether you wanted to or not, I’m with you and support you.
If you have kept them home in your bubble for longer, I’m with you and support you.
If you’re still unsure what to do and are undecided, I am with you and support you.
Nobody knows the full extent of someone else’s circumstances and we have to stop and realise that before we judge anyone else ❤️

This is the first year in YEARS that I have felt ok wearing a bikini. And I feel like it’s more down to how strong I feel, rather than how I look. Whatever it is, I hope it continues ❤️
On another note, how tanned does the @filterbymollymae fake tan make you look! 🙌🏻
(Both bikini and cover up are from last year).
