I never thought to use coconut oil with cloth for rashes! My boys constantly had rashes while in cloth, no matter the diaper or cleanser. Drove me nuts.

I didn't either, but I had bought some to use on my hair and came across several other uses online for it! I use it for his skin now too in place of lotion, and it works great!! He was getting bad rashes at my moms due to her water, but I couldn't figure out what exactly was wrong. He would blister and everything, but the coconut oil cleared it pretty quick.Quote:

I know there's ways to adjust things, but I just couldn't figure it out at her house. But I felt so bad for him, his little booty was so sore!
I cloth diapered w both kids but quit after a few months with Ds2. We have really soft water and it always takes forever to rinse all the soap out. I got tired of changing up washing routines to figure it out
Bimby - I was just thinking that's a hefty price for just renting a doppler. You could buy a pretty nice one Instead of renting and then just sell it when done
We have cloth diapered exclusively since my first son was 9 months old (he is just over 3 now). K was in them from his very first diaper. And we quite like it. It took me about 6 months to work out the kinks though (between detergent, water hardness, fabrics against the skin, brands we liked)...but since then it has been so smooth that I hate having to use disposables (true story!) Our stash is now saving us money, although I admit I didn't really do it primarily for the money saving reasons. If I had, I would have a much smaller, more practical stash. As it stands, my stash is really large and has tons of prints/fun styles. It is also the most ******lined and contains primarily AIOS (all-in-ones). I have a fair amount of Elementals, which are BumGenius brand as well. I just cringe when I see how many disposables we used during the week we were in Florida with my in-laws (too much to take on a plane, otherwise I would have brought cloth). It was two giant trash bags worth. And about 80 diapers!! And I am not some environmental nut, I just don't like all that waste. So cloth is something that works for us. :)
Hmmmm I think you may be getting me confused ?? I have an angelbeats doppler that I bought with DS1, not sure who is renting?? :)Quote:

Ugh I'm too scared to get into it again. We used fitteds and I had knit all these cute woolie pants etc. anyway I sold them all. I don't feel like trying and quitting again lol
