I'm having such a hard time. My whole family has extremely sensitive skin. Every time I wash my daughters diapers this is what I do (fuzzi bunz, prefolds, bumkins, and kissaluvs): Cold rinse, warm wash (our washer won't get hot for some reason so I have to heat water and dump it in), cold rinse, another cold rinse, and sometimes a third cold rinse. I never use any bleach or softeners and I only use 1/4 the amount of the recommended detergent and I only use the no perfume kind. I never use any kind of perfumed lotion or wash on her and her wipes are perfume free and have Aloe in them. Well, anyway, my daughter has this HORRIBLE diaper rash and she's had it for 2 weeks now. I can not get it to go away. I took her off any solids she was eating, I've rinsed and rinsed and rinsed all of her diapers and clothes to get any soap that might have been in there out, I've taken her off any solids she was on, I've checked for thrush, I've been using Aveeno diaper rash cream, Balmex cream, A&D cream, Neosporin, I've been letting her go diaper free most of the day. What else can I do? What am I doing wrong??!! She is always getting some kind of rash. Anytime I put any kind of clothes next to her skin that have been washed in any kind of softener or Tide or are brand new she breaks out in a full body (even in her belly button) rash that doesn't leave for over a week. I feel so bad for her. I'm even changing her diaper twice in the middle of the night now. Is there anything I can do to help her stay more dry in the night? I use Fuzzy Bunz with a unbleached infant prefold at night. Should I be using a hemp insert or something like that? What would help her? I just feel like breaking down and crying. I feel like I've completely done something horribly wrong for her to have all these terrible rashes all the time.
Also, would it help if I just put her in a prefold and fleece pants at night? Would that wick away the moisture? Should I just lay down a bunch of towels and have her sleep naked?
Ugh. I need help.
