Default Re: advice appreciated....i dont want to give up on cloth...

Weleda make a calendula cream...maybe google for a stockist, I'm not sure who has the range online?

And yes, longies and soakers are long and short knitted woolen covers/ pants that are nice and breathable and water resistant.

Silk liners will help soothe sensitised skin. Biodegradable liners will help keep the synthetic lining separate from your baby's skin, and help prevent any nappy creams clogging your fleece linnig too.

To be honest, if you don't think the rash is causing your baby distress or discomfort, I'd trial the different types of fabrics in your nappies for a short amount of time to see how your little man's skin fares. I'd also be going coverless until I sorted out the cause of the irritation.

It looks like a little bit more trial and error will get to the bottom of it, and I would try a good strip wash just to help rule out a reaction to detergent. What nappy soak/ sanitiser are you using Rokki?
