Cloth Diaper Safe Rash Creams

Diaper rash can be caused by a number of things most common are wetness, chaffing, new foods or infection (yeast). Time to reach for that diaper rash cream, but which one? Most commercial diaper creams are not cloth diaper safe, they contain certain ingredients  such as cod liver oil, waxes, and paraffin. These ingredients will create build up on the fibers of the diapers which will cause repelling (leaking). You might even get an unpleasant odor, after buildup has occurred. Luckily there are a couple of options AND cloth diaper safe cream available! You can even use some things that you might have in you own home!

-------------------------------------------------------

• If you have commercial diaper cream on hand or an antibiotic cream your doctor has prescribed for your little one with yeast, your best options is to add a liner to your diaper. A liner is anything that will protect the diaper for example, an old cut up t-shirt, cloth wipe, wash cloth or disposable liners. For prefolds, Fancy Cloth Baby offers the "Stay Dry Snap Pouch" . Wash these liners separately form your cloth diapers.

• Cloth Diaper safe Home remedies include coconut oil (which has anti-yeast properties), or olive oil. Cleanse your baby's bum with a warm wash cloth, gently pat not rub. Letting your baby air out will speed up healing as well!

• Creams that are made Cloth Diaper Safe are 

1. CJ's Butter
2. Grandma El's
3. Grovia Magic Stick
4. Northern Essence Better Butter
5. Magic Bum Baby

All of these diaper rash creams can be purchased easily online.

++If you have buildup from using cloth diaper cream. Directions for stripping diapers can be seen here. Stripping will help get rid of the build up!

Happy Cloth Diapering!

Cloth Diapers: important reminders, tips, and trouble shoots

Welcome to Cloth Diapering! Glad you have made or are thinking about making the switch!

This page is dedicated to offering you important reminders about cloth diapering as well as some trouble shoot help. Cloth Diapers usually consists of two parts.

++One is the absorbent part which is always made up from a natural fiber. For Example, Hemp, Cotton, Bamboo. Called an insert, soaker, prefold, or fitted diaper

(Some inserts are topped with a stay dry polyester fabric that wicks the moisture away then is absorbed into the soaker underneath.)

++Second is the outer or diaper cover usually a laminate or water resistant shell. This part contains the moisture/waterproof (see diaper styles for a comparison of the different kinds of covers)

++Inserts should never be washed with fabric softener or dried with dryer sheets.

++Diaper cream can cause residue especially commercial brands with petroleum jelly, or fish oil. Use a stay dry liner to protect your inserts.

++Prep diapers/inserts first before FIRST time use. They will need to be washed atlest 3 times, fluffed in dryer between washings before absorbing fully. For shells, wash once, tumble dry and remove promptly.

++Cloth diapers add bulk so buy clothing accordingly you may have to size up especially with a non stretchy fabric.

LEAKS

Leaks can be caused from many things such as repelling, not enough absorbency or poor fit.

++Make sure your diapers fully prepped or you may need to add a booster pouch to gain more absorbency.

++Check fit on diapers around waist and legs. Make sure there are no gaps everything is snug and comfortable for baby. Is diaper fully covered?

++Repelling is caused from residue on inserts like diaper creams, or soap residue from using way too much soap or just not rinsing it out all the way.  Strip the diapers with a tbsp of blue dawn, full wash bin and rinse until the soap is all out, completely.  Having a good detergent makes cloth diapering easy peasy.

+During naps or night, have more absorbency directly in the wet zone. This is in the middle for girls and the front for boys using a booster, cloth wipe, something absorbent. 

..to be continued
