That's a huge bummer! Just to double check, are you positive it's the microsuede and not detergent buildup from prepping them? (Unlikely if they're brand new, but that would be an easier fix than replacing diapers so thought I would ask!)

@hellobear: maybe try running a few wash cycles and rinses just in case it's a detergent issue and strip them that way? (I don't think you need to try blue dawn or bleach or anything since they're new) You could also try changing them more often since they've been soaked when you change them- if she has been in disposables where there's no moisture on her skin, it might just take some getting used to since cloth doesn't repel as much moisture ya know? I change DD's cloth diapers (all BG) more often than needed to keep her skin drier and she hasn't had a rash/redness issue since she was much younger. Again, just guessing- don't know if it will help but it's worth a try! You could also do disposables at night initially to see if that helps, not sure how long your LO sleeps at night or if that would make a difference!

My LO had a rash from BGs. At first I started lining them with pieces of fleece (homemade wipes from old sheets), but quickly got tired of that. We only had a couple of them, so I just went to all prefolds.

Sorry, I don't have advice, but just wanted to chime in that it was the fabric that LO was sensitive to.

My LO couldn't wear BG 4.0s for her first year so I just used BG Elementals/Grovias and flats and saved the 4.0s for big sister.

Her skin isn't as sensitive anymore so we use them now!

@scg00387: Love flats! So easy to wash and they dry so fast!

@hellobear: I just trifold them. I cannot recommend them enough; dirt cheap, no stink issues, dry crazy fast and pretty trim.
