I thought that cloth diapered babies were never supposed to get diaper rash.
NOT TRUE. My Baby Bean is fighting a horrible diaper rash-- brought on by what, I can't seem to figure out. I just know that 'sposies are the only thing that is keeping it under control.
My Diaper Washing System is this:
**this is basically cause I can't figure out how to work my Italian front loading washer**
Full wash cold with Seventh Generation Free and Clear (I know it is a detergent (gasp! build up) but it is the only thing the Commissary carries.)
Full Hot wash with NO SOAP and a little vinegar.
**I am worried that this is acting as a mordant, but I have no other ideas. I also have very hard water and the vinegar is needed to soften the diapers and stop mineral build up**
I ordered some Bummis' Fleece Liners from Amazon and hope they come soon.
Until then I think that it is 'sposies.
This makes me feel guilty because I am a dedicated Cloth Diaper Mama. It makes me cringe to think of the landfill waste that I am creating that is never going to go away. Each time I throw away a disposable diaper I hear a verse from one of my parent's Stoner, Hippie, Folkie friends' songs about garbage run through my head.
AHHHH, make it stop. I do love Mother Earth, I do love Mother Earth, I DO!!!!
Right now, Baby is in the buff sunning her poor tushie. Mmmm. Who doesn't like to roll around naked on sheep skin?
