Suede cloth sensitivity advice needed

I've heard that some babies have a sensitivity to suede cloth and I think mine does as well. It isn't his entire bum that gets red and bumpy when in the suede cloth, but just where the poop touches. His inner cheeks, if you will. The problem goes away soon after switching him into any other fabric.

I'm wondering if any of the mamas whose kids have had the same sensitivities have seen their kids outgrow this problem. I was hoping perhaps once the constant newborn poops lessen it will get better.

As an alternative to selling my never-been-used BG pockets, do you think I could just use a fleece liner to protect him contact with the suede cloth in the problem area?

I look forward to hearing your advice and experiences. Thanks!!

    I would try the fleece and see if it helps.  We had a similar problem and I think it was because the NB poo sat on the cover more, unlike how it absorbed into the PFs.  We use the grovia magic stick now and no longer have a problem.  She is just fine in her BGs.

    I was told (whether or not it is true is another story) that if it is a true suede cloth allergy Everywhere that the suede cloth touches the skin there will be a rash.

    Try a fleece liner.  DS's penis gets red and raw because of the suede cloth :( So as of now, I use a liner in our BGs and it seems to help. 

    However, after the NB poops slow down, you'll see a big change in the raw butt.  Their skin is so sensitive and new. It has to toughen up :) You can try airing out his bum between diaper changes. Suede cloth doesn't breath like cotton or other natural fabrics.  HTH :)

    I don't know - DD frequently ha a rash between her cheeks, and I always blamed the poop. We switched to bamboo fitteds for other reasons and she hasn't had a hint of redness since. I now am convinced the suede cloth was the reason for the redness and have sold all of our BG pockets.
