I have Ella in Cloth nappies in the day and disposable at night.
Well since birth she has never ever had nappy rash and i have noticed she has it bad on her little bottom since using the fuzzibunz. Is it possible the nappies are just not right for her? |

Hmmmm we've had less rashes since starting on Fuzzis. I guess it really could be anything. Do you think it might be the washing powder? Otherwise my girls get rashes when they are teething. And then the next thing I'd look at is how often you are changing her (but I'm presuming you're keeping much the same as disposables). -------------  |

| Yep same as disposables, using the same powder i use on her clothes, shes finished teething for now. Its really puzzling. I have her in disposables at the moment hoping to clear it up. |

Most likely it is the washing powder or there is build up in the nappies.
Do you use anything on her bottom with the cloth nappies...it balms etc? And how much washing powder do you use? And what sort? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Nothing on her bum have never had to.
Aloe vera washing powder and only a little bit. I wash them on a hot cycle and also do a double rinse. |

Could be the washing powder residue on the skin irritating her when it gets wet (clothes wouldn't have this effect as they stay dry) IYGWIM? I don't use any washing powder on my nappies, just a half a cap of napisan per load. I also use curash powder at every change as it helps to draw the moisture away from the girls skin and I've never had a problem with nappy rash with them (except when they had thrush as newborns but they were in disposables then) ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Jess try putting the nappies through a hot wash with no powder or use some EcoStore Oxygen Whitener, that's what we use to remove any powder build up.
But to be honest, I don't think you've had your naps long enough to have a problem with build up. Perhaps her body is still getting over the teething? Apparently their urine is stronger when they are teething and it might still be effecting her skin? Hope she gets better soon though, poor lil' bubs  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have had major problems with Quinn and nappy rash but have realised it depends on what he has eaten, certain foods seem to set him off. I am guessing this isn't likely to be a prob with her being so little and prob not eating lots diff foods?
If you were thinking about trying a different nappy I have a couple you could borrow to test? Depending on what size she is I could loan you a cover and prefolds or peapods? Or a one size nappy if you prefer?! PM if you are keen, we are not using them at the moment anyway!! ------------- Anna http://lilypie.com">

I have heard that some bubs can get nappy rash as their skin gets used to something different, also if you are using both cloth and disposable it can make it harder for their skin to adjust. ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

| I normally wash them in a very hot wash. I just wonder like peace said that since she has allergies and her skin is sensitive maybe its reacting with it |

My friends little boy who has the allergy to some materials, also has allergies to some washing powders, vegetables and is a power chuck refluxer. He's grown out of most of his refluxing and allergies but still gets sick sometimes and he is 2. ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

I'd read that teething can bring on the nappy rash. Could still be the powder reacting as well.
Maddie had a bad reaction the first time we put her in fuzzi's but then it all just came right. Hopefully you find the solution...it would be a shame to have to give up on them! Have you thought of trying other MCN's? How has she been with Debbie's fitteds? ------------- http://lilypie.com">
