Constant rashes- husband is DONE with cloth.
I really don’t know what else to do. My poor baby’s skin is dry and itchy. We’ve got a full Esembly stash, use disposable liners, and follow the Esembly routine exactly but with tide free & gentle powder. We recently went full disposable for travel for 2 weeks. When we returned home and started cloth again about 3 weeks ago the rashes started back up immediately and have not ever fully relented despite a 3-4 day disposable break and a full bleach reset wash routine.
I’m exhausted and so frustrated. Of course I want my baby to be comfortable but I hate the waste of disposable. I can’t keep fighting this fight. And I try to research what to do- bleach reset, adjust wash routine, try liners…. Like I’ve been doing all of that! I don’t have the capacity to spend hours researching and experimenting like a chemist!!!
We’ve been potty training for 3 months as well which seems to make everything worse, the training pants can’t be bleached and my loads might not be bulky enough. I live in a small apartment and I don’t have fluffy white towels I can just throw in all the time.
Anyway I’m sad if our cloth journey ends here. I suppose it has to eventually but we may just go full disposable until baby is fully potty trained. Which feels like an eternity away.
