Soo upset ... over nappies

[Mum2SweetCs]

With all the problems in the world I know this is a small whinge but I am totally upset over it and this is really just a whinge to get it off my chest as no one really understands I can get so upset over nappies!

My DD has extreme eczema on her bum so I need to be very very careful about what nappies I use on her. Trust me I have tried everything. I even converted her to full time cloth (bumG, BBH, Hautes, Pocketchange, HH) but it didnt help her much.

The only nappy that really works for her is the OLD DESIGN huggies nappies.

I search far and wide for them and when I say far and wide I mean far and wide.

I ring shops up and ask them if they have any OLD DESIGN nappies and usually they dont understand what i mean so i have to go there and check myself.

I have even bought boxes from chemists (but they usually jack up the prices so much that i cannot afford their prices anymore, so I buy them from the supermarket and then ask the chemists if I can swap them. Some are more than happy)

I search on ebay, usually they only have pick up.

The other night i thought i hit JACKPOT! 3 boxes of OLD DESIGNS!!! I bought them.

They got picked up by a friend of mine.

I was absolutely over the moon

I tried them. THEY ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL SUCKED!!!!! OMG!!! They leaked and leaked and leaked.
I have no idea what it is but they leaked but I think it is because they are not the OLD DESIGN with the fast absorbing layer (I THINK). They made my DD's bum weep from blood because the moisture isnt getting absorbed enough.

I am so sad, DD has a very very sore bleeding bum which she ALWAYS TRY TO SCRATCH and I am out of ideas how I can these old design nappies.

I just wasted $100 buck and I dont know how to get that back as the seller is not returning my emails =(

Anyway, thanks for reading ladies. I know its something small but when you've tried to do the best for your child and it just fails it hurts.

Hi phoenix.
Have you tried using the raw silk liners with your cloth nappies? They are supposed to help with rashes ezcema etc?
It also depends onthe inners/linigs of the nappies that you used - ask around (I apologise if you have done this and I missed your post ) in the cloth general discussion thread as there are a few mums in there who will have some suggestions in there regarding fabrics/liners etc?

As for ebay I would leave neg feedback if they dont rely to you and sold you something that was not what they said it was.

I would ring huggies themselves and ask them what they can do.,.

Sorry to hear your DD has such a sore bottom

Hi Ladies

Thanks for the advice. For the cloth nappies Ive only tried 100% bamboo liners. They didnt work because they didnt wick the moisture from her bum.

Maybe I should give cloth another try with raw silk (where can we get that)

I did ring Huggies, the lady was nice about it so i sent over 27 nappies! (3 from each plastic packs)

Hopefully they get back to me soon.

Thanks once again, it was good to get it out.

Sorry to hear you are having a hard time! What about trying micro-polar fleece liners?? They are 'stay dry', so her skin would stay dry. (Sorry if you have already tried this)
Hope that helps. Good luck!

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!
