Skin chafing from all the crawling - suggestions?

7 replies

Hi all,
We're in cloth nappies full-time - TotsBots flexi tots with flexi wraps. However, now that DS is crawling A LOT, we get horrible skin chafing on his inner thighs. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?
Also, is there a remedy (like a cream or something) to help the chafing heal quicker?

Tots can be a little rough on the binding - would either add a dab of vaseline (nice and cheap) on inner thigh or opt for softer binding like onelife popper, weenotions or a fleece cover like pumpkin pants.

(poor little legs)

Thanks for the suggestions. I was actually looking at getting the weenotions covers for nite use, as the Motherease Rikkis are getting a bit tight on DS.
In regards to the fleece covers - are these waterproof at all? Or are we bound to end up with wet clothing, if DS wets the nappy and then puts pressure on it by sitting down?

Oh, btw, the issue didn't get any better with disposables...if not worse, actually.

Sudafed cream is brilliant for chafing (and nappy rash too) - you can buy a big grey pot that lasts for ages.

oh I meant Sudocrem! Obvs not sudafed, that's for my allergies...

Methinks I'm doing too many things at once today.

Fleece covers repel wee rather than having a waterpoof cover - so if he is squished into a car seat for a few hours it will wick but running around/crawling etc will be fine. I use my pumpkin pants overnight and has been the best thing ever.
