So my kid never had so much as a speck of diaper rash through infancy, then, all of a sudden when she was getting close to 2, she got this horrible, horrible diaper rash that I just couldn't make go away no matter what I tried. We use all sorts of different cloth diapers, but even always having a fleece lining and changing her the second she pees (and I knew when because she would tell us) it would not go away. She was even mostly using the toilet.
Then I was pregnant and really sick so I just ordered some 7th Generation disposables and her rash cleared up almost right away. She stopped using diapers altogether before those ran out, so yay! problem solved.
Until baby came. Now she's peeing in her pants practically all the time, and back in diapers because I was done with cleaning up puddles of pee every 15 minutes. Before baby was born, though, we super uber duper stripped all the diapers, which is what I suspected had to do with DD1's rash, since it cleared up in sposies. But now DD1's rash is back with a vengeance. But DD2 uses (sometime literally in the case of the one sizes) the same diapers, I wash them at the same time, and she doesn't have any rash at all.
This morning DD1 woke up crying because her crotch hurt so much. What am I doing wrong?

She smiles at you and says, "I'm peeing in my pants." 
At least it makes it easy to get her out of the wet diaper immediately.
I started washing her as carefully and gentley as I can with vinegar water, but so far no help, and she cried bloody murder when I do. We've been putting Waleda calendula diaper cream on it (This started maybe just over a month ago) I'm not sure it's irritating it, it does seem to help a little maybe? But it certainly isn't going away. I'm afraid of it getting to open bleeding sores 
I'll try cutting out the diaper cream and using olive oil instead, and the baking soda baths. I'm trying to explain to her that peeing in her diaper is giving her the rash and that if she uses the potty it will get better and stop hurting, and although she seems to understand and agree, it doesn't have any impact. I just hope we can keep it down as much as possible until she is through this.
