Baby boys & diapers

Knottie76365376

It appears that the tip of my baby boy's foreskin is getting rubbed raw from his diapers. (Cloth diaper)
I know I have to let him free bird occasionally to prevent this. Anyone else noticing this and any other suggestions to help prevent it?

I haven't really noticed this, but I do coat DS's diaper area in coconut oil before he goes to bed and it's helped a lot as a barrier and to soothe some irritated areas. We use non-chlorine disposables.

Thanks for the suggestion. Using coconut oil has been on my mind, but I keep forgetting to put it on my grocery list.

We CD but haven't had this issue. Nice to know about the coconut oil in case it happens.

You can also use a bit of lanolin.

@marijaa333 thanks for the suggestion! I have been using lanolin the past couple days and it looks much better!
