Red rash every time he's in cloth these days

MagickalNarwhal

We've done mostly CD from the start with our son. He had two yeast rashes in a row but I think I've finally gotten rid of it. He was in disposables for about 3 weeks (2 weeks to clear up the rash and a week for a trip). Now when I put a CD on him, he gets a bright red rash.

We mostly use GMD workhorse fitted during the day and WAHM fitteds with athletic mesh as a stay-dry layer at night.

I wash in country save but when I was treating the dipes for yeast I used GSE, tea tree oil and bleach, then did a full hot/cold cycle (w 2nd rinse) with just water to rinse everything really well.

I will confess that I am not changing his as much as I'd like because he's in this lovely phase where any diaper change or outfit change is a screamfest that takes him 10 min to calm down from - because clearly having your diaper changed is akin to having acid poured all over you? Haha.

Any ideas? He's back in disposables again and I'm sooooo sick of them!

Are you using the stay dry layer during the day too?!?  I've been using disposable liners in addition to the stay-dry layer so that I can use another cream lately (not yeast, but persistant rash) and that seems to be clearing it up. I think in my case I went too long between washes when our washing machine was broken... 4-5 days opposed to 2-3 days between washes.

Could be that he needs a stay dry layer, could be detergent sensitivity.  My L developed a sensitivity after 9 months. Took me forever to figure out what was giving her a rash. 

This is my thought as well.  I would try changing detergents and adding fleece liners.
