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.

Maybe it's our water that is irritating them, don't know what else it could be!

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??

[spinningmadly]

Haha i meant brandles sorry. The b's got me confused!

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
