Best nappy rash cream for 2020

As smooth as a baby's bottom show the saying goes... But if nappy rash sets in that smoothness can be replaced by sore, red or spotty skin.  According to the NHS, up to a third of babies and toddlers in nappies have nappy rash at any one time.  It's usually caused by contact with moisture (yep, wee or poo) that softens and weakens the outer layer of the skin, leading to become irritated as the nappy rubs against the area. It's less common in newborn babies, but can often develop a few months in.  It can be kept at bay by changing nappies regularly, but the best nappy rash creams will help to support your baby's skin by delivering a protective layer to keep moisture out.  Whether you prefer all-natural and organic, pots or tubes, or multitasking marvels, we've rounded up the best nappy rash creams below.
