Diaper rash help

Since I've been cloth diapering (about 3 weeks) my son has been getting more diaper rashes than he used to with disposables.  I must be doing something wrong. 

I use Fuzzibunz with the flushable liners.  Is it the liners? 

I've used two different detergents and that doesn't seem to make a difference.

    He could be allergic to the material in the FBs

    How often are you changing him?

    Is it possibly yeast?

    We had a rash issue and the only way we've found that keeps it at bay is Angel baby bottom balm at every diaper change, luckily it smells good.  We also think the disposable wipes were bothering him and made the transition into cloth wipes.

     Ugh. I really hope it's not an allergy, the Fuzzibunz seem like the best fit for us.  Have you heard of that happening? I thought it was just like a fleece material.

    He is being changed about every 2-3 hours.  We have been having some leak issues through the legs, but I thought they just weren't tight enough  He's almost 8 months, formula fed/on solids, and sleeps through the night. If any of that matters.

     I bought the diapers brand new, could it still be yeast?

     Thank you for the imput, and please excuse my lack of knowledge on this. I'm new to this.

    Try changing more frequently -- every 1-2 hours or so. Are the inserts soaked when you take them out? If so, that's why you're getting the wicking.

     

    DD has had trouble with some persistant rashes, although hers seems to mostly be related to either teething or solids.
