My child has a rash- whats the most breathable diapering system?
The most natural and breathable diapering option for babies with sensitive skin is an organic cotton diaper plus a wool diaper cover. Since both are made from fabric made up of only natural fibers, this combination will offer the most breathable system. However, if your baby is getting a recurring rash, your laundry detergent may be the culprit. Some types of detergent cause a build-up in the diapers, and this can irritate baby’s skin. We don’t recommend laundry detergents that have any dyes or fragrance. Try switching to a fragrance-free, dye-free laundry detergent. To remove any build-up in your diapers, wash on hot with vinegar and then wash through a second time with detergent. To prevent detergent build-up from developing, we recommend using a cup of vinegar in the first (cold) diaper wash at least every other time you wash a diaper load.
