Tell me about nappy rash and cloth.

[Doing my best]

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...

We have had a rash that sounds like you describe - light and all over. It was also on and off, it went when I used Sudocrem or a soothing cream on her at night only to reappear the next morning after a couple of changes. It was made worse by PUL AIO's and covers and started when the weather got hot and humid. Turns out it was thrush - I used Daktozin on her, just at night, and her little bum is lovely and smooth again Just a thought....

If you try this though, do use a microfleece liner - it is awfully sticky and would clog up nappies awfully without it.

HTH and hope you get rid of the rash soon

poor little pumpkin!! hope she's not too uncomfortable!
We thankfully havent had a bad bout of nappy rash yet with DD2, but anytime she's looking a little bit pink i put some moogoo msm soothing cream on her behind.
the girls tell me its safe to use with cloth without a liner. its about $25 for a big jar and u only need a little bit (smells fantastic too)
Hope u get it worked out soon hun

megsmum, it's funny you should say that, about the thrush, my SIL mentioned it might be that last night

skybie, I've heard so much about the MooGoo,where can i buy it?

[skybie]
