We were quite excited about using washables... More eco friendly, cheaper etc.
But they just don't seem to work for our daughter. While we could change disposables every couple of hours (unless there's a poo), these need to be changed pretty much as soon as they're wet. Her skin seems dry but the dampness against her makes her uncomfortable. Her skin seems to get red very quickly even with frequent changes.
We're not using all in ones (I heard those are a nightmare to dry), just the cloth rectangles, cloth over-nappy and waterproof cover over that. We use disposable liners between her skin and the nappy. Like I said, her skin feels dry when we change her but she clearly gets very uncomfortable and red very easily. It doesn't seem to "lock" the moisture away the way a disposable does.
Any suggestions or experiences to share? Or are we doing something wrong?
