EDITOR’S CHOICE

I discovered Sudocrem when I was an au pair in Belgium in the nineties. The two little boys in my care never had nappy rash, and we used Sudocrem on all kinds of scrapes and ouchies. It also lasts forever, as a little goes a long way. I was delighted when it came to South Africa, and I always have a pot in the house, even though my children are teenagers already. Sudocrem is clinically proven to soothe and protect your baby’s delicate skin and works in three simple ways. First, it contains an emollient that soothes sores. Second, its cooling properties help to ease pain and irritation. Finally, a water-repellent base forms a protective barrier, helping to stop any irritants (urine and faeces) from coming into contact with the skin. Sudocrem comes in four sizes: 60g (from R57,99), 125g (R94,99), 250g (R164,99) and 400g (R209,99) at Clicks, Dis-Chem and Toys R Us.
