    Ahhh, I'm confused. it wasn't the IB that made it worse, it was the tots Bots fluffy, with a Baby beehind cover.

    Will PUL covers make nappy rash worse?

    Could be the heat, but does sound like a reaction to the microfibre...... When you say tots bots fluffy, is that the bamboo one? Bamboo is usually good for nappy rash.

    I'd try silk liners.

    PUL is breathable and shouldn't make it worse, but if you are concerned fleece is MORE breathable than the PUL so you could use a fleece cover.

    How often are you changing? cloth needs to be changed a little more frequently than a sposie, but i don't find much difference really.

    I'm changing her, say, every two hours or so? I'm using two or three more cloth than I would sposies in a day.

    I'm not sure what the tots bots are, it's in the machine atm, I'll give it a look when it comes out.

    I'm wondering if this is part of the reason why the PP's are so unpopular?

    Btw, thankyou very much for your help evryone

    Junglemum, a bit OT I know, but are you finding any difference now that you are in the tropics?

    I've noticed that whenever we go down south for a week or so DS never gets the slightest bit of rash, and is usually fine in the dry season. I have to really rethink the way I use cloth in the wet - are you finding any difference?

    I know this wasn't asked to me, but last week with higher temps and high humidity in Brisbane, both mine were getting rashes. Not bad ones, but there were slight rashes no matter what they were wearing (as soon as I bought disposables it cooled down ). DH mentioned this is more than likely the cause.

    After our mild dose of humidity, I am just praying that the humidity isn't really bad when I head to Townsville and Cairns in April.

    DS also got a little bit of a rash in the last few days as well, also in cloth and also in Brisbane... so maybe it *is* just the heat...
