Can Teething Cause Nappy Rash in Babies?
Some parents report an increase in nappy rash around the time of teething, but this isn’t anything to worry about. Keep reading to find out why teething can cause nappy rash.
How does teething cause nappy rash?
We understand teething can be a traumatic time for both you and your baby. Most little ones will start teething at around six months; however, all babies are different so don't worry if your little one is a late bloomer! Although teething does not directly trigger nappy rash, their little teeth starting to sprout can bring on diarrhoea, meaning a higher chance of nappy rash. If this does occur, our trusty nappy rash Ointment will help soothe any irritation, resulting in a happy bum and happy baby!
A Mitosyl miracle from us to you
Before putting on a new nappy, make sure your baby's skin is patted completely dry - nappy rash is caused by moisture, so the dryer, the better!
When to seek medical
advice
If your baby’s behaviour seems unusual, or their teething symptoms are severe or causing you concern, then seek medical advice.
