Anyone else experiencing Chronic Diaper Rash?

We've tried EVERYTHING!  4 different types of diaper cream, fleece diaper inserts to keep the wetness away from his skin, a natural PH spray, different cloth diaper detergents!! I don't know what to do!  The only thing that helps is putting him in disposable diapers!!  Am I going to have to give up the cloths?  I'm using Bumgenius 4.0 & Fuzy Buns.  I completely eliminated the infant prefolds because they were the worse for diaper rash (holding all the moisture directly on his skin).  Anyone else have this problem?

He could very well have a sensitivity to the microfleece that's a liner in both of those.  I would try putting him in the FB exclusively for a while, and then in the BG.

Or, if you have any, completely natural fiber diapers to eliminate the microfleece all together.

What detergent do you use?  and how well are the diapers being rinsed?  It could be the detergent irritates your child's skin, or that the diapers are not rinsed well enough so the excess irritates the skin.  I think it's always easier to check something cheap- like detergent first to rule it out.  If it's not that, it could be the diapers.  Good luck!

Have you tried silk liners? Its a natural fiber & keeps the moisture away from baby's skin really well.

Could it be yeast? If  it's yeast, then it would be in your diapers and would make sense that it clears up when he's out of it and comes back in cloth because the cloth is re-infecting him. Just a thought. Have you seen the Ped about it yet?

I tried both Rockin Green Detergent and Charlies.  Also just tried the Funk Rock for Amonia thinking that maybe it.  I also wash in extremly hot water with a double rinse.

I do have the organic cotton infant prefolds but they were worse since there's no barrier on his skin...it just stays wet.  I JUST started using the micofleece and then before then it was even worse.  I'm thinking the fleece barrier helps a little more.

I haven't tried the silk liners yet...I will try those!!

I haven't brought it up to his Ped yet.  I have an appointment scheduled though and I will def bring it up then.  (I'm just thinking he'll tell me to switch to disposable if that seems to work).  He dosen't seem like he's the natural type haha.  I will see if he can give me something for the yeast.  Would I take it? Since I'm BFing? Or is it something topical that DS can put on?
