How can we treat nappy rash?

To prevent nappy rash

• Change wet or soiled nappies as soon as possible. Young babies need changing as many as 10 or 12 times a day; older babies at least six to eight times.

• Clean the whole nappy area thoroughly, wiping from front to back. Use plain water, cotton wool or baby wipes.

• Lie your baby on a towel and leave the nappy off for as long and as often as you can in order to let fresh air get to the skin.

• Use a barrier cream, such as zinc and castor oil or Sudacrem

What happens if you do not encourage children to look after

their teeth?

Facts Once teeth begin erupting, you can begin

cleaning them by wiping them with a moist washcloth.

As the child gets more teeth, you can begin to use a soft child's toothbrush.

You should use just a pea-sized amount of a fluoride toothpaste or a non-fluoride toothpaste until your child is able to spit it out, too much fluoride can stain their teeth.

Children should be supervised up to the age of seven

How can the practitioner support the child to look after their teeth?

Cleaning Teeth

Looking after teeth If teeth are not looked after they can become

damaged or even fall out.

How can you encourage children to look after their teeth?

Taking the child to a dentist every six months Brushing the teeth twice a day Reducing sugary foods and drinks Brush Teeth Song
