I thought the risk from slamonella was in the yolk? If so, egg white should be okey dokey.

Nice to meet you Andrew, I felt your post wasnt in helping Elle and there was no need to 'fan the flames' persay.

I've seen Elle and other members getting a real berrating from other members (and from well known trolls) I'm sorry I assumed you where the one I thought your where with a new AE.

Hope all's cleared up tomorrow Elle

Very off topic, I know, but I really object to the way some poster on MSE bandy around the word "troll" when anyone posts an opinion with which they disagree, howeve moderately it is framed, and attempt to stifle all debate with "Don't feed the troll". It doesn't just happen on this board but on many of the other boards on MSE. The effect is to stifle debate and suppress other points of view which might be valid.

This isn't specifically intended as a vote of support or otherwise for Andrew's posting. It may not have contained any particular advice on the problem but it was a legitimate comment on how Elle was responding to some posters here. She may object to people saying that sudocrem helped their child and that more frequent changing would be a good idea because that advice is not relevant to her, but the next person along who searches the index because their child has the same problem may find this advice spot on. That's the beauty of MSE - it creates an archive so that not just the original poster is helped. For that reason, Elle was wrong to be so rude to posters who were making very valid points, despite the fact that she was very stressed and upset at the time.

Anyway, my point is that if you wouldn't walk into a pub and break up a conversation by shouting "Don't listen to Andrew because he's a troublemaker", then don't start shouting "troll" in an online conversation because its silly, childish and controlling. If you have a genuine problem with the content of a post, report it to abuse, and if you just disagree with the advice, then post your own reasoned rebuttal.

I accussed the person to be a troll as they are new, and there 4th post happened to berrat the OP, very obviously 'flaming fans' to an already stressful time.

The issue was very clearly dealt with, if you have any concerns maybe you should bring it over to DT where you'll find plenty of people on topic to discuss with you.

I'll reserve judgement on the poster your referring to for the future, but I'm allowed to voice my concerns.

Also I didnt feel Elle was objecting to any advice at all. She simply stated that her GP did not recommend sudocream and had posted it in her original post, then people continued to post advising it regardless, it obviously wasnt of any help then for her. I think she has taken particular offence to Barnaby69's post (yes we all know them) which was neither helpful or supportive, Elle explained the rash in her OP aswell.

Glad to hear his bottom is getting better.
When my girls were in nappies and got nappy rash, I found the cream that helped the most was bepanthen, I still use it now if they get a little sore in that area and they are 5 years and nearly 4 years of age.

Cannot over stress the importance of ignoring barnaby, as his intent is clealry to offend.

Cannot over stress the importance of regular changes , if you stop the rash appearing then there is no need to sooth it in the first place.

If you read the original post he had nappy rash due to teething and a reaction to fresh orange juice.

Plus, even with regular changing, and using the very best in nappies and good old fashioned cotton wool and water etc etc, some times babies get nappy rash for no other reason than some times babies get babies get nappy rash...

hell, my son managed to get nappy rash when he was 2 days old and had never had a nappy on, in an incubator, getting cleaned every two hours, and getting nothing to eat but IV fluids, so how is that explained?

Glad to see your little one is getting better, not had time to read all the posts but my ds suffered with nappy rash, several times it lead to infections, I have lost count of the amount of different creams I have tried. My son was even given a blood test to test for diabetes cause he had nappy rash frequently. I changed nappies was using pampers, then tried huggies, the best ones I found were the Tesco ones - not the cheapest ones but still there own make, think someone has already mentioned something about bleaching in the nappies irritating. By far the best cream that I was ever given for my son is Conotrane, it is antiseptic but also contains a barrier as well. Once he started with the redness I would put this on and it would control the symptoms sufficiently to prevent it getting too bad. It is available over the counter but i think it is pricey! I still use it on him now, even though he is toilet trained (for those times when he doesnt wipe properly and gets a bit sore). Hope this helps. pm me if you want to know any more. Cheers - hope he is well on the mend by now - its a very miserable time for you both. They use conotrane for old people as well, for pressure sores etc.

This is our experience, The Tesco Super Fit ones appear to be the same as Lidl nappies - very good, a bit cheaper in Lidl though. The Tesco Baby Essentials ones are dreadful, we had to stop using them quite soon after starting the packet. As to Huggies and Pampers, whilst not as bad as the Essentials ones, I'm suprised that they manage to sell them at the price they are.

I recently switched to Tesco Super Fit nappies having always used Huggies or Pampers (they - Tescos - came out top of a survey in a mumsnet magazine that I picked up in Mothercare). I was staggered at how much better they are, fit wise and absorbency wise.

(Not to mention price wise of course, this is MSE after all...)

I was interested in your comments about nappy rash,when my children were small i used a fantastic cream called Fullers Earth - my mother in law swears by it!. I can guarantee that everytime my kids got any sign of the rash once the cream was on it cleared it up straight away, we always keep a jar in the house as it seems to work on lots of different rashes etc. even now. Hope this helps!
