1. eww disposible ones....
2. I use disposable..but I also don't have the time to do tons of laundry everyday. My daughter got a few rashes but neosporin cleared it up right away...my son hasn't gotten a rash yet. I believe if you change them as soon as you can after they go that you will have less problems.
3. Babies are much more likely to get rashes while wearing cloth nappies as the moisture stays against the skin. Disposable nappies draw the moisture away, protecting baby's skin. Cloth nappies need to be changed approximately every hour to protect against rashes. Disposables last longer, but still need to be changed regularly. I've always used disposable nappies for my daughter who is now 10 months old.
4. Disposables are actually much less likely to cause a rash, as they keep the moisture away from the baby's bottom much better than the majority of cloth nappies. The key to avoiding a rash with either type of nappy is to change them frequently. In newborns, rashes usually occur when urine mixes with poo, so a barrier cream like bepanthen can help if needed. Sometimes babies can get thrush, which requires special cream.
5. Really? I didn't know you could get cloth diapers anymore.
6. Go with disposable ones. And the only way that a baby gets rashes with disposable is they don't get changed regularly. Just keep in mind that even tough disposable are designed to hold more, it does not mean that you should not change frequently. I used disposable with my son and the only time he had a bad rash was because he was on antibiotics for an ear infection and it turned out he was allergic to the meds and this caused the rash.
7. I use preformed cloth diapers (they look like disposable and have velcro straps) when i am at home and disposable while i am out and about with my son. You will need to change the cloth ones more often. you use a liner that you throw away therefore there is minimal yuck on the cloth. I put the used cloth ones in a bucket of hot water and at the end of the day put them in the washing machine to soak overnight. I dont know from experience but i have been told that the child will toilet train earlier if you use cloth as they feel wet and dont like the feeling. My baby is 5 months and has never has a rash, i use bepanthen ointment.
8. I use both. The cloth diapers that I'm using are bumgenius all in ones. I bought a size medium for my son when he was about two months old and he is now seven months and can still fit into them. As far as the laundry goes, I have been told that if your baby is exclusively breastfed, their poo is water soluble so it's MUCH easier to clean. I was unable to exclusively breastfeed, so I just rinse the diapers out in the toilet before putting them into the diaper pail to wait for washing. I also use disposables when I needed the added convenience. My baby has never had a rash with either.
9. disposable diapers
10. I loved, loved, loved my cloth diapers. My son had eczema as a baby and disposables were heck on his hiney. We switched to cloth when he was about 9 months old and it cleared his little hiney right up. There are great diapers called Fuzzibunz that wick the moisture away from the skin. His skin was never wet unless I went too long between changes. You do have to do diaper laundry frequently, I usually did a load every two days. They have adorable fabrics, We had Bob the Builder, Buzz Lightyear, flame printed, tie dyes, it was a blast just to diaper my son. We used disposables when he was in childcare.
11. We use cloth diapers at home and disposables when we are out or traveling. I prefer cloth to disposables! I am actually trying gDiapers now instead of disposables for when we are out (they are a cloth cover with a flushable liner inside). Cloth diapers are not hard to launder at all. I have a pail with baking soda in the bottom where I put my diapers. If the baby is exclusively breast fed then all diapers can go directly into the pail until wash day. Once my daughter started solids I shook the BM into the toilet and then put the diaper in the pail. I wash every 3 days. I dump all the diapers into the washer, run a quick cold rinse cycle to spin out urine and remaining solids, then I run a full wash cycle (hot wash/cold rinse) with 1/4 of the recommended amount of dye/perfume/enzyme free detergent. Then I hang them to dry if it is summer or throw them into the dryer. My daughter never gets rash from her cloth diapers. She also goes 2-4 hours between changes (she is now almost 10 months old). When she was younger she peed more often and needed to be changed every 2 hours at least. All our diaper have a stay-dry lining in them made of fleece, microsuede or velour so wetness is drawn away from her skin into the inner core of the cloth diaper, just like disposables. I like using pocket diapers the best as you can adjust the absorbency easily and they dry much faster after you wash them. For the people above who said that babies wearing cloth diapers get rashes ... this is almost always user error. Many people use too much detergent and it doesn't rinse clear from the diapers and bothers the baby. Also, some babies are allergic to the fleece or microsuede lining in cloth diapers. If this is the case, go for diapers made of hemp, cotton, velour or bamboo!
12. Cloth diapers are messy, hard to keep up with, can cause rashes the same as disposable, and are bulky. Pin sticks can occur and after a while re-pinning totally hurts your fingers. I think disposable are better. You run basically the same risks of rashes as with cloth, and they are sooooo much cleaner to deal with. At least i think so having used both.
13. Always disposable. It's enough to keep up with the regular duties of a mommy without adding the washing of poopy cloths, too. As far as rashes are concerned, use A & D ointment to help prevent them and DESITIN CREAMY to help heal them . I swear by both brands.
14. We use disposable. Our baby got a horrible rash from the one time we did use cloth to see if we'd like them. I was upset too cuz they have so many cute cloth diapers.
15. I use cloth at home and disposible when we are out. It is more work with cloth (and nasty at times) but these babies will have to live with the waste we put out so I try to make as little impact as possible.
