Eczema and Cloth Nappies
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 2:22 pm
Hi
Does anyone have experience of using cloth nappies with a child who has eczema? I have used cloth for 4 years - my son potty trained at 3 and was in cloth pretty much 100% until then and my daughter has been in cloth until recently.
But our pocket nappies (mainly BG) now irritate her skin and leave her with patches on her legs So sadly I am having to use disposables. While convenient, they are costing me a fortune and they really pile up in the dustbin too!
I've tried strip washing, changing frequently, extra boosters etc but nothing seems to help. Within a day of going back into cloth, she gets patches of sore skin on her legs.
I don't want to try other types of nappies as I have a big stash that I will now have to sell I think Annoyingly, I bought loads of nappies for my little girl but made do with 20 BG for my son, who had no problems in them!
