I'm using washables (motherease & wraps) for ds 2 months old, having intended for 2.5 years to use them for dd and never quite starting...However what is concerning me is the amount of time ds spends with soaking wet cloth wrapped round him up to the waist. Surely this can't be good for the skin? I know previous generations (including me) grew up in terries, and at least the wraps are breathable not plastic, but it still seems like a recipe for skin problems even if not nappy rash. Or perhaps I'm just not changing them often enough. They seem to be soaked after every long-ish sleep (2 hours or more). Any thoughts?
If there are other threads on the subject I'd appreciate being steered in the right direction!
