Cloth Diapering

Confused about red skin

We mostly use prefolds, but have a few BumGenius 4.0s.

DS's skin only turns red in the 4.0s and only in the front around where the snaps are. There's no red on his bum, so I figure it's not a fabric issue. Is it just that the diaper rubs him up by the snaps? Any suggestions?

Re: Confused about red skin

  • The diapers have the liner between his skin and the snaps, right? If it's just pressure from laying on the snaps, would putting a layer or two of fabric in the pocket by the snaps cushion the snaps?

  • It's not from the snaps, just in that area. More of a larger red spot on his lower abdomen.

    I'll have to pay attention today to how long it sticks around for. The more I think about it, the more I think it's probably just from rubbing funny or something and not really a big deal.

  • My son would get red and puffy in 4.0's and freetimes, only in the front as well. It went away after using elementals or a best bottoms with hemp inserts.

    That's why I sold all my 4.0's.

  • Yeah, it goes away on its own a few hours after being in a different diaper.
