We went through a lot of brands, and Earth's Best has been the best for his bum. Looking back on it, I think his diaper issue might be due to his food allergies. :sad: I try to keep up with his food diary to make a connection. Most recently I noticed that corn might have been the culprit for really bad stool that burns his bum on contact. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2270213 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 00:23:26 +0000 misolee 2270213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used pampers swadlers since birth at at 4 months, she developed a rash that would not go away no matter what kind of ointment, oatmeal baths, etc. </p> <p>Switched to the 7th Generation brand and went away the next day! Haven't looked back since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2270187 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 22:27:34 +0000 brownie 2270187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby had reacted to diapers and wipes. We are doing cloth wipes or water wipes (you can buy them at target). I really like the water wipes. For diapers we cloth diaper (planned on that early on). But we can tolerate honest diapers and grovia biosoakers in moderation. She needs a break between sposies (so sposie then a clothy). She also cannot do stay dry cloth and only cotton. She's a bit rough but it is working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2270144 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 21:02:21 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2270144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually had horrible reactions to every disposable diaper my mom bought when I was an infant. To this day I can't wear most kinds of pads and even ones that are "better" make my skin red and raw after a few days (sorry if that was TMI!). My mom eventually just went to cloth diapers because literally everything disposable gave me a rash to some degree. Cloth worked perfectly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2270114 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 20:28:42 +0000 LovelyPlum 2270114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pampers sensitive made LO break out like crazy. The only brand we've had luck with is Seventh Generation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2270033 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 17:23:50 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2270033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seventh generation diapers worked for us. I would suggest using cloth wipes with warm water instead of disposable wipes whenever possible.</p> <p>I could also only use aquaphor - no other ointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2270008 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 16:35:29 +0000 MrsH 2270008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: we are using pampers sensitive diapers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2270004 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 16:32:20 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2270004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Switch just one first and I'd say wipes. They have a ton of stuff in them. Maybe just do damp soft paper towel. </p> <p>Are you using Swaddlers? My lo is really sensitive and we used swaddlers (pampers) and pampers sensitive wipes (which they use in the NICU) and then eventually switched to Kirkland brand wipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269894 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 14:01:23 +0000 beloved 2269894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used 7th generation and then eventually switched to the Kroger natural brand </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269882 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 13:52:04 +0000 lamariniere 2269882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pampers give my daughter a rash. Normally we use gDiapers with the disposable insert. For regular disposables, we use Naty by Nature Babycare. We are in the U.S. right now and using Babyganics and she hasn't had any irritation problems. What about using water wipes? Or just cut up a flannel receiving blanket and using that with water when it's just pee, and gentle wipes for poo? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269792 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:58:40 +0000 mfa_lady 2269792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with a lot of posters here--our girl is relatively sensitive, and we've had good luck with Target brand diapers and the unscented Target wipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269783 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:51:10 +0000 Ash 2269783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd try target brand as well. Poor baby girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269771 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:40:36 +0000 MrsSRS 2269771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With our sensitive skinned son Target brand diapers and the blue Target brand wipes were the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269758 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:30:14 +0000 Astro Bee 2269758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you using wipes for pee? I've heard that they're unnecessary at that age. We only wipe for soiled diapers, and DS is rash free. Also, if you aren't able to find a disposable wipe that works for your LO, would you consider cloth wipes? We had so many baby facecloths going unused, but when DS had his first diaper rash (from teething), I started using those with water instead of the Pampers Sensitive wipes I'd been using. We still use Pampers wipes for outings, but I may switch fully to cloth.</p> <p>ETA: we cloth diaper, too, but have used Pampers Sensitive, Huggies Pure and Natural and Honest diapers when travelling long distance (on airplanes) and at night. DS doesn't have sensitivities that we are aware of, but I haven't used any other brands to find out. Good luck! I hate hearing of babies in pain or discomfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269757 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:28:16 +0000 jape14 2269757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has pretty sensitive skin and got a contact allergy/rash from the Pampers Swaddlers they used at the hospital. We were planning on using Honest anyway (I have really sensitive skin so thought there'd be a good chance he would too), so we use Honest diapers/wipes and he hasn't had a reaction to them in the 11.5 months we've been using them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269755 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:26:13 +0000 avivoca 2269755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the Up&amp;Up sensitive wipes and they work very well for us. We couldn't use Huggies diapers/wipes at all because they affected my allergies, but Pampers Swaddlers and Up&amp;Up diapers were our go-to brands for disposables. If all else fails, you could try cloth diapering. A friend of mine had to do this when here daughter's skin was reacting to every disposable diaper out there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269752 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:24:23 +0000 Mae 2269752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has sensitive skin and she actually does best with target brand diapers and target brand unscented wipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269748 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:22:39 +0000 mrsrain 2269748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is sensitive to Pampers. We use Huggies and there haven't been any more problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269746 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:21:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 2269746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: @Bao: yeah definitely try another brand of unscented. We used the target unscented wipes before we got a Costco membership and had no issues. </p> <p>If it's bad you might try just wet paper towels or clothes for several days until the rash gets better. C had such a bad rash (I don't think it was only the wipes, we were traveling and she had some diarrhea too) and we just did water and paper towels for a while and it seemed to help. So sad when it hurts them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269745 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:20:42 +0000 MrsH 2269745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I have a pack of buggies unscented wipes that I will try. Now to figure out what diapers... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269739 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:17:15 +0000 Bao 2269739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: I would try and unscented one first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269738 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:17:03 +0000 MrsH 2269738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: thats interesting our wipes are the store brand of pampers sensitive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269737 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:16:16 +0000 MrsH 2269737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: the meijer brand sensitive - says "compare to pampers sensitive" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269735 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:14:53 +0000 Foodnerd81 2269735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C had a reaction to pampers baby dry diapers when she was very little, but swaddlers were fine so we stuck with them for a while. Now she uses the baby dry with no issue whatsoever. </p> <p>She also still gets irritated from pampers sensitive wipes so I never use those. I have a pack that I am still using up that I'll use for hands or face after the playground or whatever, and even that if I use them too much she gets a little red. We like the Kirkland wipes, but she hasn't had a reaction to any besides pampers sensitive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269731 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:14:23 +0000 Bao 2269731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: are you using sensitive or unscented? I found the unscented wipes were better than sensitive wipes. I think it's the blue pack from Target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269729 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:13:47 +0000 Truth Bombs 2269729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably try Honest. In general I don't think Honest is worth the money, but if your LO has proven to be really sensitive I think it's worth giving them a shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-allergy#post-2269724 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:10:12 +0000 MrsH 2269724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 (4 weeks) has a bad contact allergy on her front. Dr is suggesting a diaper or wipe allergy. If your LO had this issue what brands did you switch too? We are currently using store brand sensitive wipes and pampers sensitive diapers. </p>
