  • I was a skeptic on goats milk, but now a true believer on how good it is

    My daughter had a few issue with cows milk. Since switching to Karicare Toddler Goat Milk, she is a lot happier and she doesn’t have those issues anymore. I think goats milk is extremely underrated.

  • My little boy enjoyed it and gentle on his tummy

    My little boy has a sensitive tummy and can get quite blocked up. I had read that goats milk is gentle on little tummies so I was excited to be able to give this one a go. My son enjoyed drinking the Karicare Toddler Goat Milk and it’s great that it’s packed full of vitamins and minerals. The taste was a little bit different at first as he had one mouthful and looked at me but with a bit of encouragement he finished it off. I will continue to buy this Karicare Toddler Goat Milk drink as it has helped with his stomach issues compared to cows milk.

  • If you have a fussy toddler give this a try

    My little monster has refused so many different brands. I’ve heard goats milk is similar to breastmilk and gentler on tummies so I was keen to try this Karicare Toddler. I couldn’t believe it when he started drinking it instead of throwing the bottle across the room like he did with the others!

  • Amazing milk!

    We loved this Karicare Goat Toddler Milk! My little one Has a sensitive tummy so we found it hard to find a brand that wouldn’t make her spewy. We didn’t have an issue with this one and she seemed to love the taste. Didn’t clump either like some other brands we have tried.

  • A great dairy alternative.

    Karicare goat milk toddler is gentle on little tummies and a great alternative to dairy for those with allergies and intolerances. My daughter has a milk protein allergy and we would love to have more options available, especially for beyond 12 months.

  • Perfect dairy alternative.

    Karicare toddler goat milk is gentle on little tummies and perfect for children with allergies or intolerance to dairy. My daughter has a milk protein allergy, this is perfect for toddlers as an alternative to cows milk. We often have difficulty finding a non-dairy toddler milk in supermarkets so would love to see greater range.

  • Liked it more than I thought!

    Firstly, the Karicare toddler goat milk tastes pretty good! and I was surprised to see in the ingredients that it was mostly goat milk, which I was very pleased with, also a fan of all the nutrients packed into it. The milk gives me comfort that my son is getting his nutrients because some days he refuses to eat (teething toddler!). I honestly loved this milk, I used it to mix into other things, like cereals etc, worked super well. Great product! I would definitely recommend this to other mums.

    Karicare Toddler is my choice of toddler milk brand. I tried many different brands and we never had any problems with Karicare Toddler. I was so happy to find out that they have goat milk on their product line. I was raised on goats milk and truly believe that including goats milk in your child’s diet is very beneficial. My daughter absolutely loves the taste. I highly recommend Karicare Toddler Goat Milk and I wish it was widely available.

  • Worked well

    My little bloke enjoyed Karicare Toddler Goat Milk, other brands have upset his belly and given him the runs so we were recommended to try some goats milk and this one was great. No more upset bellies and no issues with the taste. We have been using this for a while now with no issues.

  • Great product, I wont change now.

    Goat milk has always been underestimated so was really surprised and thrilled when I found out about this. My toddler didn’t take to it at first but after some subtle blackmail its all he drinks. I’m also really happy to know that I’m giving my little one a nutritious drink that has a lot of vitamins and minerals that are essential for his growth.

  • Life Saver

    This Karicare Toddler Goat Milk is honestly the best I have tried with my little one. Having a child with eczema and allergies was stressful enough without having to worry about what milk he was having. Karicare Toddler Goat Milk took the guess work out. My son responded well to it, it didn’t affect his allergies and he didn’t end up with a windy tummy after a bottle. Would and already have 100% bought again and recommended to friends and family.

  • He Didn't Like It

    My 3yr-old was excited to try this Karicare Toddler Goat Milk 12 Months+ but after tasting it he said it was “yucky”. I tasted it to see if he was just being fussy and I have to agree, it was not pleasant at all. It tasted like sour milk. I grew up drinking goat’s milk, so I’m used to the flavour, but this was not nice.

  • Looks great, but not for cows milk intolerant

    This product looks great, easy to understand ratios and mixes well to prepare for toddler. My toddler didn’t mind the taste but I was sorry to see that cows milk (lactose) is still part of the ingredients, and that or the (newly learned) fact that goats milk can have same effect for babies with cows milk protein intolerance (tummy upset in our case). We are starting to try the Karicare Soy option now.

  • One of the better goats milk...

    One of the better goats milk out in today’s market. I’ve tried other brands with my lil one and the process of making it wasn’t great, the smell for one thing was not unpleasant and it was a much more gentle choice compared to cow milk.
    I give it to my lil one as a treat and he loves drinking more than 150mls in one go! The milk goes down well and does not have any nasty re flux. For sure a great alternative for your little one if you are looking for toddler milk.

  • Not for us

    I was excited to try this product as my son has a couple food allergies and I saw all the vitamins and minerals included. I found the instructions great. Unfortunately my son didn’t enjoy it and refused to drink. I have tried him again and probably will do more as I think it’s a great product and he may just be adjusting.

    A great way to fill our toddlers with extra nutrition they need, without the need for cow’s dairy. My little tacker enjoyed it in their bottle for bed, as well on breaktfast cereal, and as an afternoon drink.

Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.

Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.

One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.

We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.

Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums

What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.

1. Nappy Free Time

“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.

We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.

2. Change Nappies Frequently

“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member

Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.

3. Use A Barrier Cream

“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes

Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.

4. Choose Gentle

“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F

Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.


Nappy Rash Myths & Facts

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies.
✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.

It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.

🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies.
✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.

Huggies’ Rapid-Dry™ Technology absorbs wetness instantly, reducing irritation risk.

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation.
✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.

  • A great compilation of tips for the new parent (and good reminders for even the seasoned parent!)
    Dry, clean and comfy makes for a happy baby. And remembering that a baby’s skin is so very delicate, so it’s good to be picky about what you put on or near their skin. Enjoy your sweet babies!

  • All really good tips. I’m a big believer in not letting them sit in wet nappies for long. Even the most absorbent nappies are resting against their delicate skin and need changing. I’m also a big sudocrem fan. A thin layer applied to irritated skin does wonders. It’s natural for them to have nappy irritations but we can only do our best to avoid it

  • Really terrific advice. My daughter never had much in the way of nappy rash develop and I believe that because I did change her so frequently and we had a lot of nappy free time, especially in the warmer months of summer. Sure there is things to treat nappy rash but we all know prevention is best!

  • My first born had terrible nappy rash and ulcers from acid urine and none of the specialists prescription creams did anything. I finally used Petroleum Jelly and it cleared up his skin very quickly and kept future rashes at bay. It is cheap and easy to use and works the best of anything.

  • Any redness can be resolved with a tub of Sudocrem. It’s a cream that smells like lavender. Very pleasant and usually works quickly within the first application.

    Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

    Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

  • I had issues with my son pooping a lot as a newborn. Sometimes it can be really hard to keep the rash at bay if you have a child that is constantly doing that. There is some acidity in the excrement and that can cause burning before it’s even been against their skin for long. I used to use paw paw cream on him and that worked best as a barrier.

  • Nappy Rash can be so raw and painful and i always worried so much when our babies had a bout of it. I remember trying so many things but always found good old petroleum jelly used regularly would help in keeping it at bay. There are some great suggestions in the article.

  • I did find that not all nappy rash creams are as good as each other. After trialing many brands I settled on Sudocrem as the best for me and my baby. Changing nappies frequently and air time is also very important.

  • There are so many common sense tip in this article and they are tips that we followed. We kept everything as natural as possible on very soft and sensitive skin. We went with plenty of nappy free times and we were very fortunate to not encounter issues with nappy rash.

  • This article describes very much what we always have done: frequent nappy changes, plenty of bare bum time, no fragrances also not in soaps and a good nappy rash cream. It can become more challenging when your child has diarrhea; in which case bare bum time becomes more complex and the skin more irritated in which the gentle washing with warm water, patting dry with a soft cotton flannel and good zinc cream is more important

  • Even though I agree that prevention is key, I also think it’s important to have a good barrier cream to hand to help at the first signs of trouble. There are lots of good brands, you can pick any really that suits your baby’s skin. But use it liberally when you need it!

  • Yay! First time seeing my own comment in an article! *happy dance*
    But yes, i do swear by changing their nappies as soon as it’s soiled. It’s what worked for us for both children! We always go prepared and change either before going out, during or in the car boot if we really had to

  • Nappy rash is horrible and prevention is definately better than cure. This is a fantastic article with some great tips. Especially the changing of the nappy frequently. Unfortunately sometimes especially once they’re on solids and their poops get yucky a little nappy rash can be unavoidable in which case a small amount of sudocreme clears it up quickly.

  • We found that changing nappies frequently was key for us. And once the kids starting sleeping for long periods at night, we started using the really good quality nappies – Huggies, as it happens – while cheaper nappies were still okay for the day and frequent changes. Nappies do vary! .

  • This is a really great reminder that nappy rash can happen but there are some great tips to help try and avoid it. I use to do a lot of nappy free time with my daughter when we were home as she had sensitive skin and I layered the barrier cream on all the time, especially at night.
