Coconut oil & CD

LaurenNBill

We've been using coconut oil to treat DS's rash. It is awesome and really is helping but recently he's been leaking through his diapers very often. Is coconut oil a no no with CD's? Anyone have suggestions about good rash cream that is compatible with CD's? I'm assuming there is a connection because this is the first time I've had any leaks with my diapers. (BG, Thirsties and HH's). Thanks!

I've read that it IS CD safe so I ordered some for her day care bin. I wanted to switch to that when our CB was gone because of the antibacterial properties.  It should be here today. Crap.

 I hope it's just a fluke for you.  Do you have liners you can use?    Is it possible that it's time to increase the size insert or adjust to the next size on the OS?

I've had no problems with California Baby Diaper Rash cream.  Clears things up quickly and hasn't interfered with the diapers.

I've been using coconut oil for a couple of months with no issues.  I use it in my wipes solution and slather it on her a couple of times a day for her eczema.  It's in CJ's Butter and a lot of safe CD creams so I would think it's fine.

I just looked at my CJs tube when I was changing her for nap time and was going to come back and share that, too.  I knew I had read that it was okay.

 

OP - I'm wondering if you're having a repelling or a fit issue?

I don't know abut diaper-safe, but I will add that I've been using it on my face instead of moisturizer for a couple weeks & I am in love with it.  It is making my skin suuuper soft & awesome.
