We have been in cloth diapers for one day. And she got a rash 😭. Im praying shes not sensitive to…

@theinkedmommy yes i did, with tide original in liquid form. I followed and FLU approved wash routine.

Thats strange. How long did you go betweem changes? What style and brand? Were they new or used? Maybe it's a detergent issue? I use purex powder.

@pettybetty about 3 to 4 hours, if i change her before then shes dry. They are alva pockets with microfiber inserts and i bought them new. She was fine all day until her change right before bed. Im beginning to think shes getting used to actually feeling wet since, in disposables, i changed her as soon as she went. She never sat in a wet diaper. Im still trying to figure out how long is too long or too soon since this is day one.

@jacqui2012.jl you have the microfiber inside the pocket and not against the skin?

@pettybetty correct

@jacqui2012.jl okay. just checking because Microfiber against skin will cause a rash.

@pettybetty yeah i tried to get all my ducks in a row before even trying to put them on her. Read everything i could find on them. And each different style. Decided pocket would be best for our lifestyle. Got a wash routine, tested my water. Did everything that was recommended to me. So im stumped. I plan to just give it a few days and see what happens. Trying not to get discouraged too badly.

@jacqui2012.jl definitely don't give up! It may be a simple fix. Depending on where the rash is, it could be from friction too if she is active... may can try adjusting the fit in some areas? I don't know. Just a suggestion.

@pettybetty thank you, i will try that

@ashleydunn no, I use Dreft on her clothes. We are using alva pockets w/ microfiber inserts.

@ashleydunn i imagine allergy would cause an immediate reaction though, right? She has been in cloth all day with no signs of rash until her last change before bed.

@ashleydunn great! I'll give that a shot! Thank you.
