Well, we’re no longer using cloth diapers for F. I spent all of last week stripping them, washing them again and again and again and it doesn’t matter because after one day in cloth she gets a rash. A nasty rash. She cries when you wipe her when she has this rash. So she is in paper. J is still in cloth.
That girl has such sensitive skin. Excema. Hives. Now this. Poor kid.
Stumble it!

St. Paul hit the nail on the head when he said, To the pure all things are pure, but to the impure nothing is pure (Ti 1:15). It is a tragically impure world that labels the purity of a baby at the breast as "gross." For those with the purity to see it, a nursing mother is one of the most precious, most beautiful, and most holy of all possible images of woman. (source)

Ouch. Poor F.

poor F - hope it heals up soon. Cloth is good when it works but not if makes F rashy.

Poor baby! We have the same problem here - one gets the cloth and the other gets the throw-aways. Hope she feels better!

Poor thing. Cloth gave William a rash too no matter how quickly I changed it which ended our brief experiment with cloth.

poor girly! Hey, you still did it for a long time so you can feel good about that.
We have the opposite problem, rashes from cheap sposies.

Aw, poor lil F.
I am trying - unsuccessfully - to remember the name of this miracle ointment we used to use. It was also good for sore nipples. It was a combination of three different types of ointment… I think it may have been a combination of lansinoh, neosporin and nystatin? Something like that - anyway…. hope F’s rash is banished soon!

How funny (well, not funny) - we have had a bout of nappy rash here. I have been blaming the boys being ill, and thus pooing six times a day (each!), and the awful humidity here. Poor boys, and poor F. We use disposables - not cheap ones - and wipe with tissues and Sorbolene instead of wet wipes when they are rashy, because they have been crying and wriggling in pain.
What fixed it, or at least is in the process of fixing it - is Daktozin a cream with Zinc and an anti-fungal. It’s magic.

Just thought I’d throw this out there…could she have a yeast infection? Nic came down with a weird blistery rash a couple of weeks ago, and I called the ped, after she screamed for a few days every time she pooped. They suggested trying Lotrimin, then a thick coating of Dr. Smith’s diaper ointment. It took a week or so, but the blisters are gone. BTW, it was like no YI, I ever had. Anyway, grain of salt, from someone who still has the $400 of unused cloth diapers and accessories in a drawer in the nursery. I ashamedly heart Swaddlers. But we’re building a solar-powered house (to justify).
