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.
- We use Rockin’ Green {most recently using up the regular bags I got last Christmas-cookie scent I think}
- Wipes solution is this one.
- Our wash routine is listed at the bottom of this post.
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.
