The idea of something so natural is really appealing and we have been happy with it so far. I hope it works for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-95624 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 19:42:41 +0000 T.H.O.U. 95624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Zuzu2and11: Yea my little girl gets red and bumpy where the diaper would be wet against her skin but not everywhere. I am still not 100% sure if we have an allergy or not yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-95620 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 19:30:27 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 95620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: glad to know I'm not the only one with such a bad experience! It had such good reviews... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-95243 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 12:39:17 +0000 autumnlove 95243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: omg, my poor LO had such a bad reaction to the grovia stick. Her skin got red and started to blister... I should contact their customer service! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-95218 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 12:03:57 +0000 Lozza 95218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a spray: Kissaluv's Diaper Lotion Potion. Seemed to help, but we've never really had major rash issues with LO, so I don't think he's very sensitive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-95192 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:39:17 +0000 skibobrown 95192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: I had no idea that you could use coconut oil for diaper rash cream, but now that I've looked it up I think we'll try to go that route. I'll take diaper rash cream off of my Target shopping list for this weekend and add it to my grocery list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-95171 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:21:49 +0000 Zuzu2and11 95171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all for the replies! I have a lot of options to choose from. </p> <p>@ohapostrophe: I use Arm &amp; Hammer for sensitive skin (no fragrances or detergents). My wash routine goes like this: cold rinse, cold rinse with vinegar, hot wash/cold rinse using the detergent. I only use 1/4 of what's recommended. Then I hang dry the pockets and tumble dry the inserts.</p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: I hadn't thought of sensitivity to the actual diaper because he is only irritated near the crack not everywhere that the diaper touches his skin. Is that how it is with your daughter? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-93674 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 20:02:54 +0000 MamaCate 93674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: i think that is good! I couldnt tell you how many ounces ours is but it is about the size of a spaghetti sauce jar and i think it was $7. We use just a little so it seems more affordable than rash cream. I hope you like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-93555 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:21:47 +0000 HabesBabe 93555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: We're planning on using coconut oil, too! i found a 14 oz jar at TJ Maxx for $5.99. Not sure if that's a good price or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-93373 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 12:12:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 93373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't had any issues with rash yet, but did want to throw out there that you may want to try another brand of CDs that don't have the suede cloth interior (like BG4.0's). There are a lot of people that have suede cloth sensitivities. </p> <p>When I put my daughter in BG4.0 for a full day she gets red, but when she goes to the GroVia's she clears right up. Using a liner has helped the issue some but we may have to make the switch to the elementals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-93025 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 23:43:15 +0000 MamaCate 93025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use coconut oil--i read about it online and got a jar at my local natural foods store. It seems affordable compared to some of the natural creams and smells good. We havent really dealt with rash but it has worked on redness. We have bg 4.0s too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-93012 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 22:24:51 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 93012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weleda diaper cream. Works like a charm. We do use a liner with it just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-93004 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 22:11:21 +0000 ohapostrophe 93004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also use Grandma El's, but it's rare... what kind of detergent are you using? I'd check to make sure everything is rinsing clean and there isn't detergent buildup causing the rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-92803 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 16:32:31 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 92803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Zuzu2and11: no problem! When Baby Boy gets a rash I usually just use Desitin with prefolds for a few days... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-92799 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 16:23:41 +0000 anbanan15 92799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Grabdma El's and love it. It's really the only thing that has worked on ds's red bum. we do us a liner with it but have not had any issues with our diapers and we use bum genius. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-92785 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:52:40 +0000 pelikila 92785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love EMAB's angel baby bottom balm. I personally don't use it as a preventative but as a solution once rash shows up. An alternate that is helpful for us is CJs BUTTer. You could also try Thirsties Booty Love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-92771 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:24:13 +0000 Zuzu2and11 92771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: thanks for the input! I wish I could get samples to see what works best for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-92753 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:59:11 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 92753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This might not be relevant for you, but if your cloth diapers have a cotton inside then you can use pretty much any cream and it will come off in the wash. Otherwise I found with the natural creams that it was hit or miss. I think LO was sensitive to some of the herbs because some of the creams (like Grovia) made his rash worse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-92745 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:51:15 +0000 Zuzu2and11 92745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Downward Dog: I'll have to look into Earth Friendly. Thanks for the recommendation!</p> <p>@Mrsbells: I was looking forward to using it because of the stellar reviews. Maybe my baby's bottom just isn't meant for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-92665 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:53:34 +0000 Mrsbells 92665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought the angel bottom balm because I heard it was supposed to be soo good at getting rid or rashes and diapers... it would be disppointing if it doesnt perform as well as all the reviews </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-92659 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:47:44 +0000 Downward Dog 92659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Earth Friendly Baby, which is supposed to be okay for cloth diapers. It has cleared up the minor redness, we are lucky to be relatively free of diaper rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-creamsbalms#post-92657 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:41:58 +0000 Zuzu2and11 92657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What diaper cream do you use with your cloth diapers? Does it prevent redness/diaper rash well?</p> <p>We just made the switch to cloth diapers (ETA: we are using bumgenius 4.0s) last week, and I have been using Earth Mama Angel Baby Bottom Balm with every diaper change. Even though I apply it all the time, give him some naked time so his bum can breathe and change his diaper once it is soiled, he still gets red and irritated. Before we made the change to cloth, we used Desitin with his disposables which always worked really well. Has anyone else experienced this with the Angel Baby Bottom Balm? Any suggestions for what to change or for a better cloth diaper friendly balm?</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p>
