Is it my imagination, or are some types of disposable nappy causing dd3's horrific nappy rash?

[Enid]

Because Pampers seemed to set it off

Tescos own always calmed it down.. But now Tescos have changed their nappies and sure enough, after three days of use, her bottom is red raw, skin peeling off . She doesnt appear to be teething and hasn't eaten anything particuarly strange.

for dd3 enid. We used boots nappies for ds1, and loved them, especially because they fitted better round the waist, as he was a skinny beanpole.

BUT using cloth for ds2, and I love them. I really do love them, I sometimes just look at them stacked up in the bathroom! No problems at all with nappy rash AND they leak less than disposables! Bargain!

You could try Moltex eco-disposables? We swear by them.

oh bollocks

can feel cloth looming

her bottom looks liek it has been rubbed with sandpaper - red raw, bleeding in places, skin all tattered

right will try boots own tomorrow and see if that makes a diffrence

then lidls

dont think I can buy any cloth locally

Enid, have you tried Huggies? Just a thought. Had to scrounge one off a friend who uses Huggies the other day, and they are thicker than Pampers. And Nature ones really do feel different to Pampers/Boots so if you can get hold of them they could be worth a try. I can only get them in Waitrose or with Ocado delivery though.

hmm I think boots may do thos nature ones

I guess they'd be the ones to try first

i have a pack of pampers to use up first so another week of him ponging of wee, then will try boots

we had a lot of leaks, day and night with huggies

yes I thik we used huggies and had lots of leaks but that was when she was breastfed, things have hardended up a bit since then

Boots may sell some cloth, and Waitrose do as well. Otherwise this lady is lovely and is an online place to get some.

I really wouldn't have believed how lovely the nappies are, and it really isn't any hassle at all - we have a laundry bag, which we put teatree oil in, the whole lot goes in the machine, so there's no horrid bucket. It's really easy, honest

no no am not reluctant - I used them for dd2! but I flogged them all and cant bear to splash out on them

oh I see! missed that bit!

explain about the no bucket

As a newborn my DD suffered very badly with nappy rash when we used Pampers, once we swapped to using a potty and cloth nappies..it cleared up never to return.

sorry, just came back.

Basically I have this laundry bag (second down) - it hangs on the bathroom door. It has a little material piece on the seam that you put teatree oil on. All nappies/wraps go in there. When it is full I put the whole lot in the washing machine. So the bag gets laundered as well as the nappies. Seems to work and isn't hideously stinky. I really didn't like the idea of the bucket!

ok have caved and bought a pakc of 5 bamboozles, just for occasional use you understand

how can you resist them when they are all in a little fluffy parcel

also a pack of moltex

Oh fantastic. But did you go for white or coloured? We have a rainbow of nappies....

they are hemp coloured atm but will go off white

was tempted by the coloured ones

I love the bamboozles! The yellow and orange ones in particular are lovely!
