Just in case anyone is in the market for some new cloth, I thought you might like to hear that my FAVORITE cloth diaper retailer is having a great sale, and some of the diapers I love are included!!
I am having a hard time not buying the new bumGenius 4.0 snaps myself, but I am holding back, knowing we are almost done.!
Many other items are included in the sale, just click here to see the rest!
Happy Cloth Shopping!
I can’t thank you all enough for your continuing comments and concern to check and see if Ladybug’s rash has been taken care of! Good news-it has! I am still not 100% certain, but I think her wipes solution and probably leftover residue soap from the recalled Rockin’ Green we had might have been the issue.
Right now, we are still using Rockin’ Green {the Bare Naked Babies Classic}, and are using disposable wipes. We are using cloth about 75% of the time and using disposables also. If we notice any hint of redness we stick her in a sposie and then put her back in cloth when it’s gone. My husband is preferring the disposables right now so I am not fighting it. I use almost 100% cloth, when I change her.
One great item we have begun to use is Grandma Els diaper cream-I LOVE this stuff and wish I had found it sooner. It is awesome and doesn’t smell nasty AND is safe for cloth!!!!!
Ladybug is 19 months and we are praying she might potty train earlier than the boys did as we have seen many baby girls we know begin around or even before age 2! We’ll see! But for now, we have the diaper thing under control!
Oh and I still just adore Squishy Tushy-Teresa was a big help in figuring things out!
I have confirmed completely that Ladybug has a continual rash when wearing her cloth. I have been around and around trying to figure it out, and honestly making every excuse in the book to justify that it was NOT the cloth dipes. BUT, the truth has been revealed.
We went out of town for 17 days and for various reasons, I decided to just buy a box of Huggies. Within a week her rash was completely gone…although I still thought it was a fluke.
We arrived home and she was right back in cloth. Within 48 hours her poor hiney is bright red again. I am devastated.
I have stripped, soaked, washed the dipes…everything. I SO don’t want to give up, but I don’t have the time to research so extensively and try a million things.
My husband did mention tonight that it may be her wipes solution and not the actual dipes. I am praying this is it. I am going to keep her in cloth while using disposable wipes for now to see if maybe that is it. If it isn’t, I have no clue. The thought of spending money week after week on disposables makes me sick.
Anyone who has any advice, please let me know.
I SO don’t want to stop using my cloth, but I can't stand seeing her in pain.
~edited to add, this has been going on for several months, to the point that she has been to the doc for it! We air out all the time, change often, and have done the norm to fix it. She even has a prescription to clear up the open sores when they popped up.
