Cloth diapers Rash

Cynthia11097

Sadly I finally figured out that the cloth diapers are causing diaper rash. I'm on vacation and I am using disposables for the week bc no way to wash cloth. Anyway, no diaper rash all week. DD has diaper rash really often at home : I can't believe it's the CD giving her the rash... I use rockin green diaper detergent and I'm hoping this is the problem. I have also tried soap nuts but don't think they clean too well. I change her pretty often at home, every 2.5 hrs...
Please help!!
What detergent are you using?
Do you think my detergent is the problem?
Thanks for your help!

Since you have a mix of diapers I'd try a detergent switch first. I think I've seen TinyBubbles recommended for babies with sensitive skin, but maybe someone else will chime in about that.

If you don't see an improvement then try taking

We had a little rash problem a while ago too but figured out it was more of an ammonia burn. We started to run a rinse cycle before the wash and final rinse. We had been using Tide original. We also add calgon water softener to the wash since we have hard

I do a cold wash, then hot wash, then cold wash bc I have a front loader and can't just do rinse. Maybe I should try the Soap you recommend. Thank you!

Are you also giving DD some diaper free time? Also, you may need to change even more frequently than every 2.5 hours.

DS went through a stage when he was sensitive to wetness and to his own poops. This went on for about 2 months before everything

We use Sun & Earth Free and Clear. Never tried any others, but that one works for us and our sensitive skinned LO. Also CJ's Butter Plus seems to make a huge difference for us. LO's skin is nice and clear now when it used to be red. We also switched t

Yes we do diaper free time at least once a day for 1530 min. Thank you all for suggestions. I will try the detergents you've recommended and change more often. I always thought cloth diapering illuminates rash and My DD gets rash from them... I really wan
