My DD (13 Months)has worn cloth nappies since birth with no trouble, but for the last 6 weeks has been getting horrible nappy rash - red welts, weeping, awful stuff. Only way I can get rid of it is to put her in disposables .
Have tried all the usual suspects: detergent residue, used white vinegar to sterilise any nasty bacteria, regular changes and have tried pretty much everything on her skin. She isn't getting very wet so it must be something with the nappies or her diet. I use fleece liners and have given silk ones a go too but no luck. As soon as it clears if I put her back in the cloth nappies it is back within half a day. Thought she was teething at first but no teeth and still a sore bum. Need some help before I give up, don't want to say goodbye to her lovely nappies but am starting to think I might have to just hope she's ready for potty training VERY early! At least I always know when shes ready to go - she assumes a squatting position ! Can get very embarrassing when we're at playgroup!
