I decided to give it one more go after reading these and the suggested resources. We're a week in and no rash (fingers crossed). Looking at pictures, I think it was a yeast rash. I soaked all of the diapers in boiling water with tea tree oil, before washing them again. I also made up a wipe solution of diluted cider vinegar and tea tree oil. So far so good!

Perhaps it's an allergy to your detergent? Which one are you using? I know that may not be it, if she hasn't had a problem with regular clothes, but since the diaper area is sensitive, perhaps it has something to do with that. Other than that, I can't think of what it might be. I'd encourage you to ask the <i>very<i> wise mamas at <a href="http://diaperswappers.com" target="blank" rel="nofollow">Diaper Swappers</a>. They seem to know everything CD related! They've answered lots of my questions. I hope you find your answer... How strange. Perhaps it’s an allergy to your detergent? Which one are you using?

We switched to cloth at 15 months and then out of the blue at 18 months she started getting wicked diaper rash. (She never had diaper rash in disposables). It happened to coincide with a broken washing machine so we went back to disposables for a week and it cleared up, no more problems. 1 week back in cloth and the rash was back. Back into disposables for a day (no cream) and it was gone. We hadn't made any changes in our detergent, we change her right away (she tells us when she's wet) . . . I can't figure it out. Before the last rash, I boiled the diapers, changed the fold I use (I did just a simple trifold and into the pockets, but now I'm doing a bikini fold to keep the cover away from the skin), and gave my husband a stern lecture just in case he's the weak link in the chain. Today is the first day back in cloth and I'm sad, but if the rash comes back I'm going to have to give up the cloth. It's not just a redness, it's full-on sores. Any suggestions?

I switched my 18 mo. old daughter to cloth 6 weeks ago. I wish I had known how easy it was, sooner! I am due with #2 in October and plan to use all cloth. I am really enjoying learning about it, so any web resources you could provide would be great! I LOVED the rest of the series!

I just wanted to note that I just got some FuzziBunz one size for my store and they come with two inserts already. The Thirsties hemp inserts would be good to add below the microfiber inserts that FuzziBunz sends to add more absorbancy at night. Good luck! :) <abbr><em>Sara´s last blog post...<a href="http://diaperdaisy.com/daisyblog/2009/06/03/diaper-daisy-is-now-on-twitter/" rel="nofollow">Diaper Daisy is now on Twitter</a></abbr></em> Jill, as Tsh mentioned, the diapers and inserts can be interchangeable.
