Soo upset ... over nappies

[Mum2SweetCs]

Yup already tried them. I think the material is too scratchy for her sensitive bum (even other it feels soft)

Thanks all ladies. Lets see what huggies says and I might get some raw silk to try (where can we find them?)

Thanks!

I'm sure you already did this...but I'm gonna say it anyway, LOL....when you were on the phone to Huggies did you ask if they still had any old stock of the older style nappies? Surely they would still have some lying around?? If you explain your situation and tell them that they are the ONLY nappies your bub can wear they might be able to hunt some up for you.

As for the leaky Huggies...we were just talking about this at playgroup the other day. A friend of mine bought a box of Huggies and every nappy had one side of the gusset missing (the elasticy bit inside the nappy) and they all leaked. She called huggies and they sent her out a new box.

Good luck...I hope you find some soon.

As for the raw Silk liners...I have no idea...but I'm sure one of the more seasoned cloth girls can tell you where to get them.

Hi, hope you get some where with huggies! I agree with Marlene, I would be telling them about your situation and see if they can help.

For the cloth - All the nappies you mentioned have microfibre tops which is synthetic and quite a few bubs have problems with this fabric against their skin. Have you triedn natural fibres against the skin, organic cotton velour is good (swaddlebees, new BumG AIO - not pockets) or flanellete or raw silk liners against the skin but some can find these too abrasive if there is already damage to the skin. I wish I could send you some to try but I don't have all that many that are natural inners - maybe try second hand???

Good luck

Just wanted to say good luck hun hope you find the old style huggies and heaps of boxes of them. Otherwise the girls have given you some great advice hopefully something here helps your DD.

Thanks heaps for the support ladies. When I rang huggies I broke down LOL (funny now because Im thinking, wow! I broke down over NAPPIES).

I have tried the swaddlebee but somehow DD's bum didnt agree with them too. I also have the Bamboo BBHs.

I havent tried raw silk though.

I put Moo Goo on DD and her bum still is so sensitive *SIGH*

The lady said they dont have any old stock available and if they do find out there are issues with this batch they will send me the new boxes only, hopefully they had fixed the issues they had when they brought out the new designs!

I'm so appreciative of you ladies are so understanding because as I was typing this page i was thinking *geeze its about NAPPIES* but when I see DD's sore bum I feel so sad especially when she is struggling to get changed.

Honestly i just wanted to burn the 3 boxes of nappies because the amount of time it leaked through DD's pants is crazy. So frustrated!

Currently I'm using them with a BBH cover. Any other options (other than burning them) for 3 boxes of useless nappies?? LOL

once again LOVE YOU ALL FOR UNDERSTANDING!

Hmmm.... ....sell them to newly lactating mothers to freeze and use on their engorged breasts??? ....sell them to friends of expecting mums to use for the game they do at baby showers where you melt chocolate onto them for participants to guess the chockie...???
Sorry, not very helpful, but hope it provided a little laugh. Sorry about your DD's sensitive bot, it must be pretty hard for both of you. I hope you can find a solution!

phoenix - what are you using to treat the ezcema - might be that you need to resort to a full on ezcema cream til it settles down, and as much nappy free time as you can manage?
When DS had really bad nappy rash, which was only 1-2 times thats what we had to do after trying everything natural. Then when it settles started again.

I agree i didnt like microfibre against my DS bottom either, but had some boosters that were m/f but with a softer sherpa or fleece topper on one side.

I use Moo Goo as I wanted to avoid the steroid creams. It only helps a bit though =(

I may have to try airing her bum a bit more as I havent tried that.

Thanks for the advice!

Just google raw silk nappy liners. There are some from a WAHM naps site.
Alternatively you could make your own if you are handy with a sewing machine or have an overlocker
