Diaper rash

in Cloth Diapering

DD has had a rash for the longest time and I just cannot get rid of it. I was using the Original Tide powder and switched to Rockin Green (soft rock) and it helped for a few days and now I feel like it's just as bad as it was. So far, the only thing that has worked is switching to sposies for a few days and slapping her with desitin at every diaper change... obviously not what I want to do. 

I change her frequently... every 2 hours at least. Unfortunately, she still poops A LOT and is somewhat of a phantom pooper, and sometimes I don't notice right away, so I wonder if that's part of the problem. 

I've tried Grandma El's (smelled nice but did nothing) and California Baby (did nothing).

 Any suggestions??

    Maybe try fleece liners to keep her bottom dry? I just tried this with my DS a few days ago and no more red bottom. I just bought a yard of white fleece at Wal-mart and cut it into rectangles. Hope that helps, it sucks to see a red bottom on your LO :(

     Good idea- I'll definitely give it a try. It's just so frustrating- one of the reasons I cloth diaper is because there's supposed to be LESS rash. Sigh.

    I thought I read here recently that you should never put fleece against your baby's skin? Am I imagining that? (Entirely possible given my sleep deprivation. LOL)

    I use fleece liners and Grandma El's.  I use Grandma El's at almost every diaper change and I try to not over wipe her and cause more irritation.  We had a few issues when I first started cloth diapering but ever since I started using the cream daily we've had no issues at all. 

    It was frustrating at first to have rash issues because I thought the same thing, CD = less rashes.  Hang in there and I hope you find a solution that works for you!

    I hope not because we use fleece liners, a fleece swaddle me, we have fleece jammies and fleece blankets, lol.
