Hi all,
I'm late in the game to cloth nappies, and just started using them with my 23-month-old. He didn't get nappy rash at all frequently with disposables, but in the 3-4 days I've been using cloth a nasty and persistent rash has appeared.
What am I doing wrong?
Daytime, I'm using Flip organic inserts in various PUL covers (mostly bought in the states, brands like Blueberry and Capri), with fleece liners to wick moisture away and flushable liners to catch the solids.
Nighttime, he's in Tots Bots Bamboozle Stretch with hemp doubler, again with a fleece liner and flushable liner, again in a PUL cover.
At each change I was using the Weleda Calendula ointment, as this is what I used with disposables and it seemed to prevent rash.
In total I'm changing him 4-5 times a day.
Should I be changing him more? Do I need more breathable covers? Should I be using a different nappy cream?
I've reverted to disposables until his rash clears but I really want to make cloth work for us! Thanks in advance for any ideas.
