Cloth diapering and circumcision.

MrsW101011

I'm a FTM and just found out we're having a boy. DH and I want baby to be circumcised. I've heard that you need to keep vaseline or something similar on the healing penis. Are the ointments safe for cloth diapers? I don't know anything about caring for a circumcision so maybe I'm wrong. What would you suggest? Should I use disposables until everything's healed?

TIA!

With DS we used vaseline and sposies.

This time we plan on CD in the hospital.  I just bought unscented CJ's Butter (it even says in the description that it's great for circumcision).  We're going to use prefolds so that if we get buildup we can just boil them.

I didn't circ DS but I would suggest using a fleece or flannel liner just to be safe to protect your diaper.

I looked up CJ's Butter, did you get the Tube O' Butter, Tub O' Butter, or Butter Stick?

 Thanks for your responses ladies!

I have a tube of scented that I love but I figured I didn't want the scent on a fresh wound.  So I just bought 2 sample tubs of CJ's for $1.50 each from kelly's closet. I was also leary of using a cream on a wound that had possibly touched DS's poop or maybe a yeast rash etc at one time, so I wanted fresh cream for this.
