How it works

The Olababy diaper cream spatula uses a flexible silicone tip that glides cream across the skin in an even layer and reaches gently into folds. Applying by hand wastes cream, and the tip is shaped for creams and ointments.

Why parents choose it

  • Soft silicone tip spreads cream in an even layer
  • Tip reaches gently into skin folds during a change
  • Base stand holds the tip off the changing table
  • Keeps diaper cream off your hands and out from under your nails

Who it is for

Good fit for
  • Applying diaper cream or ointment without getting it on your hands.
  • Keeping the cream tub and the changing table cleaner.
  • One applicator with a stand, so it is not lying on the surface between changes.
Not right for
  • Thin lotions and oils. This is shaped for creams and ointments.
  • Anyone expecting a treatment claim. Olababy makes none for this product.
  • A baby who needs no barrier cream.

More about this one

Is a diaper cream applicator hygienic?

The Olababy applicator keeps diaper cream off your hands: its silicone tip does the spreading, so nothing collects under your nails and there is less to wash off mid-change. Between uses it rests in its own stand, which keeps the tip off the changing table, and the tip rinses clean in seconds.

What is included

1 applicator with stand. For diaper creams and ointments.

How to clean it

The tip rinses clean in seconds, and the applicator is dishwasher safe (top rack).

Does baby led weaning help a baby learn when they are full?

Laura Lucas, a senior clinical dietitian at Texas Children's Hospital, says one of the main benefits of baby led weaning is that it helps babies learn to recognise their own satiety levels, and that with proper handling and supervision it is safe for most babies who are developmentally ready.

What if my baby is unsure about a new texture?

Amy Klein, an occupational therapist at Cincinnati Children's, writes that for a baby who is not sure about a new taste or texture, self feeding gives them control to manipulate it in their mouth and swallow it or not, and that it also aids hand eye coordination.
