    Yeah he's in cloth overnight too.. I will put him back in sposies then maybe just do cloth during the day once the inflammation has gone down again.. I use microfleece liners, they are what I've always used.. I use huggies wipes, but I have always used them too, so it's not the wipes. It just seems to be the cloth nappy

    Sucks when cloth doesn't work out I couldn't use them with my DD2, her wee just disintegrated them.

    I would try just during the day too. I would also swap from huggies wipes to cloth or nature babycare because they don't have the nasties, could help too, even though you've always used huggies.

    Is he becoming more active? Could his penis be rubbing and causing irritation? I would have thought a contact allergy would cause a rash on his bottom as well.

    I would say do sposies at night & cloth during the day. I would say the long period over night is just causing his wee to burn his willy. So unless you are going to get up & change his nappy over night ever couple of hours then I would use sposies.

    I had the same issues with my 4th child. I gave up on cloth over night because they stink by morning.

    My other thought would be to get some silk liners or even some bamboo or cotton velour liners to help. I could be an issue with the fleece/synthetic fibers.

    DD gets red if we use cloth overnight, so we've just always used Aldi nappies. They're cheap and she's not a heavy wetter overnight.

    Don't rule out the wipes. Manufacturers have a habit of changing formulas To be sure you could try a different brand for a week or so to see.

    You could always just use a wet flannel instead of wipes, to see if that helps.

    Yeah I'll try different wipes, but I am still using the same packet that I was using with the disposables, so the inflammation really does seem to be from the cloth.. Possibly the overnight nappy particularly as he was in cloth all day yesterday and it's only this morning he is inflamed. It's almost a blister it's awful
