My son is 3 weeks old and within the past week or so he developed redness on his bum. It's slightly raised and feels chafed, doesn't seem to be painful, and its basically like an inch or less wide along the "crack." I use cloth diapers during the day and honest diapers at night (mainly cause someone gave them to me). I have the grovia stick which Ive been using during the day with the cloth, and when it got super red the other day, I started overnight with the disposables with burts bees cream. I mostly use cloth wipes with warm water, and 3 or so times per day I am now rinsing his bottom with warm water and soap in the sink. I also tried to leave him open to air for a little while twice today.

When I mentioned it to the doctor at his 2 week appt, she said that's common cause their skin is changing so much. I don't know if she even really noticed the redness on her exam.

Basically the reason why I am posting is I wonder if this is the fault of using cloth! I know they say that cloth actually makes less rashes, but I just worry (of course, being a 1st time mom).

Honestly it's not getting worse, I just want it to be gone!
