Diaper Rash Cream!

If you use cloth diapers the 3 words that can make you cringe is DIAPER RASH CREAM.  I did my research when I started my journey of cloth diapering.  I knew that I could not use Desitin or any other well know creams with my cloth diapers so did I buy any of that cream?  NO!  I bought California Baby Calming diaper rash cream.  This was suppose to be safe for my diapers.  The only thing is... I had a major rash that happened earlier on and I kept using that rash cream that was safe and it didn't seem to relieve my little ones red bum.  Back to the drawing board.  Bought some Desitin and slathered it on his bum and put him in a disposable (I didn't want to ruin my cloth).  Now I needed a safe cream to use with cloth.  I invested in CJ's BUTTer.   This little stick has worked wonders on my little one! I would recommend this to everyone.

Now what happens when someone accidentally puts the non-safe creams on your cloth diapers?  It can cause repelling.  This past week I made a mistake when having a friend watch my little man.  I forgot to let her know to only use what I sent for a rash.  My little guy rarely gets a rash so I guess it just slipped my mind.  Well of course he got a rash and she did what she thought was the right thing. On went the cream (not cloth safe).  Now what do I do?  I have been scrubbing with blue dawn.  It is getting better but not completely gone.  My next plan of action is to soak the diaper in hot water with more Dawn.  Wish me luck!
