I wanted to switch my daughter to cloth diapers, but now Im not so sure thats a good idea. I want to knowwhat are disposable diapers made of as far as the part that touches their skin. And since my daughter has eczema, is it a bad idea to use cloth diapers made of polyester inside on her since I read that polyester is irritating? Any mothers of babies with eczema use cloth diapers? Any experience in this area? THANKS!
I had this issue with my daughter. I don't know what is in disposable diapers, but I tried the organic ones, made by Seventh Generation, and while she still had some eczema, it improved GREATLY by the switch. I also got a prescription hydrocortizone cream from my pediatrician that helped as well. Good luck!!
If your child has eczema in the diaper area this is know as diaper dermatitis, and there is no one concrete solution to this. Because eczema is chronic and only with time will go away. What you can do to alleviate and better that area, is twice/day leave your child without any diaper or coverage on the area(so that the skin may breathe). As well as stop using wipes to clean the area, instead use water to clean the diaper area whenever you need to change the diaper. My child is 18 months old and he has diaper dermatitis as well as eczema all over the rest of his body. Hope this helps
i used cloth on my daughter but get 100% cotton or try luvs diapers and for the cloth ones don't forget the plastic cover-ups. luvs worked on my daughter who had eczema badly
to absorb more water and prevent caking of the soil.
