Help us get back into CDs!

Ok so- Noah had that weirdo diaper rash that went away when we put him in disposables for a week and I "stripped" his diapers with Dawn (just dawn and a lot of hot rinses).

Well, 4 days back into our CDs, he's got the rash again!

When I asked the Dr first time around he said to just put Neosporin on it (it was like an open wound for a while there) and diaper rash cream. We did (cream we're using is Dr. Smith's), and now we're  back in the disposables doing this again! It was 100% gone and now it's 100% back! WHATTHECRAP?!

What do I need to do to my diapers to fix this?

(for the record, we may be going back to the dr this week because Noah also has a pretty disgusting nose at the moment, so I'll mention it to the pedi when we go.)

    have you tried different inner fabrics?  Maybe it's a reaction to suedecloth or fleece?

    If you have a variety of diapers, I'd probably just bleach them.

    Since you already stripped, don't seem to have repelling or ammonia issues, I would probably do the bleach as well.  I think it's just 1/4 C.

    Well, we mainly use BGs and have since he was about 2 months old- would he randomly just now get a reaction to them?

    Bleach... maybe a different detergent?  It sounds weird, but maybe he did develop a sensitivity to the suede cloth... you know, how babies can develop sensitivities to food over time - I guess the same could be true for fabrics?

    definitely bleach them. If it's yeast or just some super weird bacteria, that will kill it.

    i'd bleach them and rinse, rinse, rinse.

    i just bleached mine for the first time and it seemed to work.

    gl!

    Do you have any other sort of CD you can try to see if it is a fabric reaction? 

    If not, you could totally make something to try for a bit.  Prefolds out of old sheets, or even a fitted out of sheets and terry cloth (from old towels). 

    It's worth a shot, right?
