We have had a few BAD rashes....and we've used everything from Mylanta (yes you read that right..in original flavor, applied directly to the rash) to Northern Essence Diaper Rash Slave (which we love). Determining that our son had a very sensitive rear end was quite the adventure :)

You know, I haven't actually used any product on the VERY FEW diaper rashes we've had since cloth diapering. When they have occured, we just make sure to be extra diligent about keeping Sierra dry. That seems to have worked. They've all disappeared on their own within a day or do.
I follow this blog -- lots of good information and I've been enjoying the stories!

We haven't dealt with diaper rash since we starting CDing!! BUT...we did have an allergic reaction, which we treated with Vitamin E oil. We put a barrier layer of flannel between her and the diaper (which was recommended by our ped even with disposables).

I don't have mybaby yet so I haven't had to deal with these issues, but these products sound fabulous!
We deal with rashes in several ways: change more frequently, use bamboo exclusively (when the rashes are bad it seems to help), a bit of A&D, a wipes solution I bought from Etsy, and airing out frequently. Obviously we don't do all of these at once - that would be overkill. (:

We go through bouts of diaper rash. I typically just lather my son up with Vaseline and put a fleece liner in his diapers in order to protect the lining.
Almost 100% of the time, the rash is related to the inserts needing to be bleached. Once that's taken care of, the rash goes away on its own.
Thanks!

So far, we haven't had problems with diaper rash since switching to cloth diapers. We did have rashes occasionally when using disposables. We used Burt's Bees products then.
mjones_82 @yahoo.com
Sometimes we switch to a disposable and use diaper cream (Burt's Bees) - and sometimes I just try to let her air out... also use a fleece barrier between her and the cloth diaper sometimes so we can still use a little diaper cream. I haven't tried many other brands, but I'd love to!
I have used NE in the past and it works great! We have both the salve and cream.

My baby had horrible rash issues in disposables! It was the primary reason I looked into cloth. Since switching, we have not had any problems with diaper rash! Of course, on Sundays we have to put her in disposables in the church nursery and even just a few hours brings the little red bumps!

When I switched to cloth our rash nightmare ended....until teething came along. My DD has never been one to drool outwardly like many other babies so because of her constant swallowing of saliva she has gotten some pretty nasty rashes.
The question is what cream haven't I tried? LOL I went through about 6 different creams/ointments before finally landing on the Natural Baby Companies MAGIC STICK. (which is how I actually found Kelly's Closet and this WONDERFUL blog).
I have spoke raves about this stuff on here before and I will do it again. It really is like Magic. When I got it in the mail my DD had a really nasty rash that had been quite persistent. After only 2 diaper changes w/ the MAGIC STICK her rash was nearly gone and healed. I was amazed and relieved.
I generally put it on at bed time to help protect her super sensitive skin from any overnight poo's and if she gets rashy during the day I will apply it and then its usually gone by the next diaper change.
(sorry this is long...I just love it SO much that I have allot to say about it...lol)
The bonus on top of all of that is that you don't even have to touch the ointment or touch their bottoms. You just rub it on like deodorant and your done. It also has a really pleasant aroma, kind of sweet and fruity.
I have 2, one for the changing table and one for the diaper bag. They last a really long time, I bought mine back at the end of Dec. (I think) and I still have plenty left in both sticks.
Oh and they say it's safe for Cloth Diapers! What more can you ask for?

I have dealt with a couple of rashes since we started using cloth diapers. California baby is now one of my FAVORITE and I have had no problems using it with my diapers. Unfortunately right now one of my boys has a yeast issue down there and I am having to use paper diapers to keep from ruining my cloth.

We have been extremely lucky in the diaper rash department. C has only ever had one, and it was before we switched to cloth. Then, we were using Bodreaux's Butt Paste, which worked great.
I'm really interested in the Gro Baby system. I always hesitate with OS dipes. C is so big, they just don't fit him for that long. he's only 5 months, and we already have to use the BGOS fully unsnapped!

I have seen a huge drop in diaper rash since I started cloth diapering my daughter. On the rare occassions that her fanny gets irritated, I simply let her wander around bare-bottomed for a while. The fresh air always clears up the irritation within 30 minutes! If I am worried about accidents, I put her in a BumGenius bamboo fitted diaper with no cover as that lets her fanny breath. I haven't had to use any rash creams since I switched to cloth.

Since I only started with CD's recently, I haven't had to deal with any diaper rashes yet. When the time comes I will probably try making some fleece liners to protect the diapers.
I've tried numerous rash creams - I love Northern Essence Tea Tree Oil/Lavender Free Rash Salve.

I deal with rashes from time to time. Kind of a bummer because I thought I wouldn't have diaper rashes if I used cloth, but my daughter has really sensitive skin so they were/are probably inevitable. Her rashes, I think, tend to be food related. Always after a bowel movement. She can be in a diaper 14 hours overnight that is absolutely saturated, and not even a little red. If I don't get a poopy diaper changed right away, she will probably be red, and sometimes a rash. I use either Target's Method diaper cream or California Babies diaper cream. I have read on other cloth diapering blogs that they are safe for cloth diapers, and I have had no staining or absorbency issues since using them. But I try to head off any rashes with frequent diaper changes and a little naked bum time so her tush can air out. I can always tell if she is going to have a rash if she starts crying when I put her on the changing table, and it just breaks my heart.

We never dealt with one diaper rash while my son was a baby in cloth diapers- they were just totally gone! It wasn't until he was a toddler and started having VERY acidic pee that we began to get ammonia build-up in our dipes. I tried everything and my only solution that mostly worked was boiling my dipes about once a month.

I have only used cloth for my youngest, since starting she doesn't really have rashes, which was a sposies. When she has a little bit of a rash I put some Triple paste on and let her go diaperless, helps it clear faster, letting it breath.

My son has only had one diaper rash, but sometimes he does get a little red, so I use Balmex, which works realy well and is safe on my diapers.

I use Northern Essence and it is AMAZING! Works wonders! I also like to use a Haute Pocket or just a fitted without a cover because they are more breathable.
We use burts bees diaper cream, though we rarely get diaper rash now that we use cloth diapers.
My son hasn't been getting diaper rash since we switched to cloth. Once in a while he's a little dry, so I use Cetaphil.
My baby is three months old and luckily hasn't ever has a diaper rash.
I have a supply of Bumgenius 3.0 diapers but my girl hasn't used them yet. She is just over 9 lbs and they are way too big for her. I can't wait till they fit, I hate disposables.
When Brendan gets a rash of any kind in the diaper area I simply put Lansinoh Lanolin on it - works like a charm and is safe on the cloth diapers.

Since we started cloth diapering for the most part we just use olive oil. I'm lucky that the baby hasn't had any really bad rashes yet. We've also used Weleda's diaper rash cream but I haven't noticed that it really worked any better than the olive oil.

Luckily, we haven't had a diaper rash problem since we switched to cloth diapers. When we used disposables for the first 2 weeks, we used Method Diaper Cream. No complaints! Cleared up the rash and prevented any from coming back. We stopped using it when we started the cloth.
I follow here, and on twitter. I use the cream you are giving away, and have for 8 months.

Rashes.... oh man. My son is very prone to rashes. I think that cloth does help them, but if we don't know he pooped or something and poop stays on his bum longer than a couple of minutes, his little tush turns bright red :( He has even had peeling skin, bleeding, and a huge open wound due to rashes. I fought using a zinc oxide cream for so long because I was scared to ruin the diapers but I finally did it. Usually, about once per week he'll have a rash that requires some barrier/zinc oxide cream. We just put one of his flannel wipes that I made inside the diaper and lather him up with cream (butt paste or desitin). I haven't had a problem yet with this method! And it keeps his bum happier :)

Since we switched to cloth diapers for our 2 older daughters, the only time we've had any issues with diaper rash is 1. when they are at their grandparents, who sneak sposies on them and 2. when I use terry-lined diapers on my oldest (like the motherease trainers we have). In our first order from Kelly Closet, we received a trial sample of Northern Essence Better Butter Cream, and that is what I've used... it works wonders! I usually line the diaper with a cloth liner to keep the cream off the inside- and prevent buildup that would interfere with the absorption. Our favorite cream when we used sposies was Boudreau's Butt Paste (I just think the name is funny!), but there really hasn't been any need for any cream since the switch!

My son does not get Diaper rashes. He has sensory issues and can be very wet down there so he has built up a pretty good tolerance to irritations. I do not cloth diaper yet I am hoping to start really soon. I cant afford the start up so I keep entering these contests.
A good point that one of the nurses at the pediatricians office made was that before you put any creams or anything on you need to make sure the diaper area is completely dry, otherwise you will trap in the moisture!
My daughter has only had one diaper rash since starting cloth and I think it was because I stripped the diapers but didn't rinse enough! Poor baby. We just used our Melaleuca lotion (Renew) on her at night and it went away really quickly.

Ugh! Diaper rashes...we usually go back to disposibles if its bad and Butt Paste or the Aveno brand for a bit till it clears up. We also give lots of air time and let her wear a prefold without a cover.

I am totally new to cloth diapering. I considered it when I was pregnant but I was so overwhelmed with all the choices and didn't know what to choose.
My lo at 5 months got a terrible diaper rash, I am convinced because I switched diaper brands. It made me question what is in the diapers, which made me want to switch to cloth.
I now have a small stash which I hope to add to. I have mostly grobabys and LOVE them so far!!! They are soo absorbant! Hopefully I will not have any rash problems with cloth.
The only thing that has ever worked with Tatum's diaper rashes was Northern Essence! That stuff is the bottom cream of the Gods! Tatum was battling the yeasties for a good month. She was put on prescription creams and antibiotics and it still wouldn't go away. Her pedi even said she thought it might be a little staph infection. I finally grew tired of it and started using the Northern Essence Better Butt(er) Cream and wouldn't you know, it cleared it up in 2 days! Now I use Northern Essence at every diaper change. If we're around the house we'll also spend some time in fitteds or even nakey (that's Tatum's favorite!)

I have used vit a&d ointment with my own handmade diaper liner when he did get a rash once

Our baby has a very sensitive rear end, we've learned (the hard way) what works and what doesn't. Our doctor started him with aquaphor our day care provider suggested California Baby products (which have been nice) and we've used Northern Essence Diaper Salve (which we love in the push up top!)
I commented on "Become a Guest Blogger!"
We use a lot of natural essences products. My daughter has ery sensitive skin and it really seems to help her.
My little one does occasionally suffer from diaper rash. I have found that frequent diaper changes (like immediately, if not sooner after a poop), naked bum time, and when all else fails either Target's Method Brand of California Babies diaper creams. Both are cloth diaper safe, leave no stains and work well. I have had no repelling issues using these diaper creams.
I just started cloth diapering a week ago, and got his first rash yesterday. :( I am not yet prepared for cloth rashes, so we're back to disposables and A&D ointment until it clears up. I can honestly say I miss my cloth and get sad every time I walk past it! I really need to stock up on some cloth friendly diaper rash materials...

I haven't had to deal with any rashes yet since I just recently started with cloth, but when the time comes, I will probably try one of the cloth safe creams or make some fleece liners.
Since I have started using cloth diapers, we haven't had very many rashes. I still use disposables part time so if we do have a need to use the rash cream, I use disposable diapers until the rash is better.
In the future I plan to use the flushable liners and Magic Stick when we have a rash.
I have not had my baby so I don't have any good diaper rash cures. I am looking forward to hearing solutions!

I use the air out method... I am so afraid of anything getting on the diapers and not coming off.
Since I've been cloth diapering my second child since his second week of life I have not had to deal with much diaper rash (my first child was rashed constantly in disposables).
He has had a few problems, though. I bought some more breathable diapers with less of waterproofing so his parts get some good breathing every few diapers.
I also purchased some Tea Tree Oil and have been making my own wipes solution with a few drops in it each time-which has cut out all the redness he had ever. (: I also make sure he's good and dry before putting his diaper on him-sometimes using a dry wipe to dry his fat creases. (:

For Sunday's post: I have also tried using Happy Cheeks which doesn't clog the pocket liners!
I've tried putting a strip of microfleece in between the diaper and baby, and then using Boudreaux’s Butt Paste...hasn't helped much. We usually just let them 'air out' to help...
I'm willing to try anything that is safe on our diapers (and my boys' bums!) at this point!!!

I heard that mineral oil helps with diaper rashes but haven't had a chance to test this out since my first is on the way this summer.
I know olive oil is used on the perineum in natural child births to moisturize and soothe, my midwife also said it can be sued for baby's bum...

My son got sick and then deveolped a HORRIBLE diaper rash. It was so bad that we ended up havin gto go to the clinic. It turned out to be a yeast rash on top of regular diaper rase and blisters and swelling. OUCH. Got a topical perscription so we used throwaway diaper liners (bummis?) in the CDs. During the day when he did not have the persription stuff on we used the northern essence salve with the lemon smell. LOVE the smell of that! I have also used vaselene BUT I have to use sposees with that since it would REALLY mess up my diapers I am told. This is GREAT giveaway!

Since I switched my daughter to cloth diapers I have had very few rashes and those all went very rapidly! I usually switch to prefolds when she has a rash because she is quicker to tell me when she is wet.

So far, we've not had any terrible rashes, but when her bum gets a little red, a little of the TTO/Lavender free NE diaper rash salve seems to do the trick in 1-2 diaper changes...
