@wren84 I’ve always used prefolds. You hand rinse every diaper after washing? I thought that the rash back at 2 months was maybe from detergent buildup, and I’m still not totally sure if it was that or just a stubborn yeast rash. I did seriously like 20 rinses trying to pass the swish test...

@billthecableman Are you a member of their website?

@billthecableman I guess I don’t mean buildup necessarily, but there’s definitely detergent I’m having a very hard time rinsing out of my prefolds. I’ll check out that website, thank you. It’s confusing because there’s at least a handful of legit online resources, and they all seem like they...

@markiplier I probably need to actually get it tested, but google says it’s about 205. Swish test is pretty cloudy/filmy, so based on that and other people’s comments, I think it might be un-rinsed detergent. Honestly if they’re freshly stripped and bleached idk what else it could be besides...

@teagranny Maybe? Either that or maybe the buildup is inconsistent in a load, and I’m just happening to test one that got it all rinsed out before drying? Like maybe only some diapers in a load are getting buildup? Idk 🫠

@cees I really enjoyed washing my diapers before the damn yeast and now I’m all worried about her little butt! I was just reading about the chili vs stew vs soup earlier on clean cloth nappies. I think before the rash, when I was using more detergent, I was probably overfilling like chili to...

@sissikop I wasn’t even going by FLU’s detergent guidelines, I was just going by the directions on the Tide bottle. I’ll see if I can switch to something else besides Borax. I do use GMD’s prefolds so I have their guide. Thank you for your reply. It’s crazy to me how much vastly different...

@cees The bleach was brand new so no worries there. Maybe the second rash was just a coincidence and/or my baby just has sensitive skin like me? I was thinking maybe I need to try the Tide F+G. Just sad Costco doesn’t carry it lol Thank you so much! I see your comments all the time on this...

@coffrey That sucks. I know some babies just can’t handle cloth. It’s weird because she was 100% fine with it for the last 8 months. And now, after trying to go back to cloth for a day and having the rash come back, I switched to disposables again and the rash is still there even with good...

@cees Here’s an Imgur link to the ingredients. The only reason I suspected possible detergent buildup is because we had our first yeast rash, and when I went back to cloth (after thoroughly bleaching and waiting a good amount of time), she immediately got a rash again so I thought maybe it was...

@lsober01 Yeah I’m realizing now that the resource I was using recently was not very good. Thank you!

I cannot figure out why my cloth diapers are giving my baby a rash. It goes away in disposables. They are freshly stripped and bleached, I followed fluff love u’s directions perfectly. The bleach is new. I just tried putting her back in cloth and the same rash came back. We’ve been using them...

So, I discovered we had a ton of detergent buildup due to using too much and also our washer probably never getting cleaned before we moved into this apartment. I did a bunch of empty, no detergent cycles in our washer with some vinegar, then I used Affresh. Then I did probably like 8 hot rinse...

@seve Yeah after reading the Ava is out. Do you just use a plain bbt thermometer?

@wayofthepromise Good point. I do log all my Tempdrop data into a different app though, so I wouldn’t be losing it if I quit using it. I’m not sure what to do yet. Thanks for your reply :)

@sodaboy Yep, I think I might have to suck it up and stay with the Tempdrop. Thanks for responding :)

@godsdaughter97 That’s a good idea, thank you :)

Hi y’all! Okay so, I’ve been doing FAM for 3 years now. I’ve been using the Tempdrop for the past 2 years. I just replaced the battery for the 2nd time, I did it perfectly and it won’t work. Support doesn’t know why. The same thing happened last year, but last year it was still under warranty so...
