[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 459140, member: 1233"] Some diaper services will add baking soda to the wash and rinse water to change the ph in the cloth diaper to make it lower the acidity of the urine which is supposed to help a lot with diaper rash if you use cloth diapers. I only know because someone gave my aunt six mos of diaper service when she had her first kid. It didn't make much difference to them so I don't know if it helps or not. We had to be careful about which diaper we used with each kid. Wiz had few rashes as long as we used pampers but when they changed the way they made them at one point he reacted horribly so we had to switch. Can't remember what we switched to. Jess could only use one type of huggies and with thank you is was only the walmart brand that worked. Not sure the name, but it was only carried by walmart. in my opinion if this keeps going on they are looking at either a diet issue or eczema/psoriasis or just super sensitive skin that may be a long term problem - well past the diaper years. If you can get her to do this, have her try to keep a journal of how often she changes the baby, what creams she uses at each change and what, if any, differences it makes. I would say that if cloth diapers didn't make a difference in a week or so then she needs to go back to disposable. Disposable diapers are just better at keeping moisture away from the skin. She may have to try a few different types to find one taht the baby handles well, but there is no way for a cloth diaper to keep moisture away from the skin as well as a disposable. Keeping the skin dry has to be a big priority. [/QUOTE]
