Cloth Diapering

Poop and creams

My 4 week old is a pooping machine.  We are using Mother-ease cloth diapers.  She has a rash (nothing too serious yet) yesterday I tried to change her at least every hour...and I have over 13 poopy diapers from a 12 hour period.  The large majority of them are tiny poops.

I am pretty sure the rash is from being in contact with the poop (versus my washing routine etc) since she is almost in constant contact with poop no matter how often I change her.

Any suggestion how to protect her bum?  I am doing the obvious...I am trying to air her bum out a lot but this is hard as she is a projectile pooper and can clear a good 4 plus feet!  I've been putting the diaper on really loose with no cover and putting her on towels.  I also am using disposables at night with a really thick diaper cream to protect her bum during longer periods in diapers.

She was born 5 weeks early so I am hoping this is just a very immature intestine thing that improves with age.

Any suggestions?  Any really good cloth diaper safe creams to use to protect her bum and clear up a rash?  Right now I am using Zincofax and Panaten...but only in disposables as I am not sure they would be ok in the cloth.

  • My DD is very rash prone, the only CD friendly creams that have worked for us are GroVia Magic Stick and Grandma El's. I prefer GE's at bedtime since it's thickers so it provides a good barrier.
