I used diaper rash cream on my daughter?

and use cloth diapers. i happened to use the cloth diaper again today and it did nothing but leak. how do i fix this problem?I used diaper rash cream on my daughter?
This is a suggestion for a natural approach to removing the cream from the cloth diaper (this way you are not adding any enzymes, dyes, or perfumes to further agitate you little ones rash)!





If you are using an all cotton cloth diaper, wash/rinse 4-6 times with HOT water (NO detergent) - you can add 1/4 cup of washing soda to the first ';wash/rinse';...and keep rinsing on HOT until you no longer see soap bubbles (the bubbles that linger after turning off the washer).





I hope this helps you :)





Also, as an alternative to the diaper rash cream - try a little olive oil on her bummy and then use a silk or cotton liner between her and the cloth diaper! Silk is an amazing diaper liner and helps heal rashes naturally. A while ago Tidbit had carried them here at this web address:I used diaper rash cream on my daughter?
What type of cloth diaper do you use..if it doesn't have a lining built into the diaper do you use a cover to hold in the leaks? Have you used the cloth diapers that have the lining on the outside?

Some diaper rash creams can leave a residue on cloth diapers. One side effect is the cloth diaper no longer being able to absorb, or they can start to hold onto smells. The best thing to do is 'strip' the cloth diaper using either RLR Laundry Treatment or use about 1/4 of a cup of dish-washing soap such as Dawn, then rinse %26amp; rinse until all suds are history.
Fabric softeners and diaper rash ointment can coat the fibers of your diapers and make them leak. Solution: Strip your diapers by replacing your detergent with 1-2 Tbs Dawn dish soap or a ball of RLR.
Why dont you use bio-degradable diapers instead. For baby rash I use DIPRASALIC
