DS has this irritation on his balls, base of his penis and it goes up to his stomach were his diaper fastens. We have tried switching diapers, we started with costco, switched to huggies pure and natural, then to pampers cruisers and lastly to huggies movers....and no luck. This irritation started when he became active so I am thinking it is from the diaper rubbing him. I have tried every lotion under the sun: California baby, aquaphor, desitin, cornstarch powder, aveeno baby and balmex. It will start to clear up then come back.
I'm going to call the pedi tomorrow but I thought I'd also try cloth diapers at home in the evenings to help things air out. Can you rec your cloth diaper. I need one that will let him air out but pee won't get everywhere either. Right now we are using gerber training underwear....thankfully he hasn't peed during air out time but I am sure it is only a matter of time. Thanks!
Re: Rec your cloth diaper
we use kissaluvs with thirsties covers and sposo-easy AIO.
i would start with just trying the chinese prefold with cover first since it's really cheap and go from there.
poor guy - i hope it's better soon! gl.
We have a bazillion different kinds. (It seems anyway) My favorites are Fuzzi Bunz and BG pockets. We also have prefolds and fitteds (bububebe's).
For airing out (typically at night)...we'll often put Em in just a prefold (no cover) and keep our eye on her:) If she feels a little wet...we change her. (This is for short bursts of time when we don't want her diaperless) We also use bububebe's for the same purpose...but these (as pp mentioned) ofter a bit more protection.
