For anyone interested, I HIGHLY suggest leaving out the essential oils for the baby wash!! Essential oils should never go near your babies sensitive areas, any essential oil has a high risk of causing irritation. Just something to keep in mind. Its just not necessary and probably best to leave it out in my opinion

Yeah a lot of people assume essential oils are good for everything because they're "natural" when a lot of the times they're bad for whatever purpose. Natural =/= healthy
@mariakara2419
@mariakara2419 4 года назад
i’m thinking the same because i tried putting on an essential oil/oil blend & my skin was red & irritated. i do have fairly sensitive skin so it would probably bother a baby too especially on any of their sensitive areas.

Actually one drop of lavender and one drop of tea tree in her solution would be fine for most babies. Just like the chemical concoctions you can find in the big stores, some babies are going to be sensitive, but most would find relief and cleansing from her solution.

When you think about the awful synthetic chemicals in most washes lotions and what not, that is levels scarier than essential oils! If you use high quality pure essential oils it is basically the healthiest thing you could use!

I’m pretty sure using essential oils, or any fragrances, (lavender, and tea tree oil) on a baby girls peri area, or any female really, can cause a lot of irritation, infection, and ph balance issues. So I would advise to talk to your babies dr to make sure using oils or fragrance in your wipe solution is okay.

I know this video is super old. I've followed Megan for a few years now, however I'm catching up because I'm having another baby and need a refresher... Diluted essential oils, especially those diluted with any type of oil (coconut oil for example) are super safe. One drop is definitely not going to hurt. Tea tree actually has super antibacterial properties, has been shown to kill off MRSA in lab studies, as well as lavender that helps to sooth skin. After my last child I made a peri spray with witch hazel, tea tree, lavender and coconut oil and it was like heaven!
@lindseystraley9596

I was thinking the same. I was also wondering if maybe, due to the humidity and climate, the diaper rash isn't really a yeast infection. Sometimes with little girls it can be hard to tell the difference.

Tea trea oil has been clinically researched and found to be safe for skin (even baby skin) when highly diluted, which is the case here (you can find studies on PubMed) Nothing wrong with this formulation at all!

For diaper rashes, black tea is the best. My baby had a terrible diaper rash that no creams or lotions could get rid of for a solid 2 weeks. A friend who had experience with premature babies recommended I just boil up some black tea, and then keep the tea bag in a bowl with a little bit of the tea. After cleaning and drying the baby's bum, just dab the rash with the used tea bag, let it air dry for a bout a minute, and then just put on the new diaper. The rash was gone within 2 days. Now we use it whenever a rash first starts breaking out and we've never had issues with diaper rashes again.

This resonates with me soo much! We got “lucky”, our first baby came a little early and we had nothing purchased or prepared for her arrival. I had my long lists of “essentials” to buy collected by watching videos but I learned that she needed me (and some diapers and suits). This allowed us to get things as we saw the need, little by little. Having Amazon Prime was helpful. When new moms ask me now anxiously about what are the essentials to buy I try to get the same message through. Go slow, you’ll see what you’ll need as you go along, all babies are different and you cannot predict what will you need in advance

I'm a momma of 8. Yes I did shower with my babies and coslept with my babies, I use coconut oil with beeswax for body moisturizer and diaper ointment. Maybe let your little one go around without a diaper to help with her rash. Love the muslin washclothes we use them as well. I bought greenmoutain diapers with my first and still had some left for number 8. 18 years of diapering with the same ones definitely a quality made product. I was a die-hard sling user till number 8 then I started using the ergo 360 same color as yours. I still put my 2 year old in the ergo.thanks for sharing

My kids are adults now but I am curious to see if an intuition I have relates to anyone else- with the exception of being in a car seat when traveling, my babies were always carried until they were crawling and walking, and all my kids sat up at 5 months and to my great surprise my sons each walked at 9 months and my daughter walked at 10 months. I have always wondered if because they were always carried (in arms, front pack and back pack-by their papa or grandpapa or myself) perhaps their middle ear/brain/balance developed quickly because of always moving with us, for example, in a front or back pack, when you bend over to pick something up, the baby goes upside down for a moment. Has anyone else experienced this correlation ? Thank you Moon & Rock for your thoughtful, gentle, loving, beautiful sharing of your lives.

Hi, just for anyone interested - > potato starch works really well for diaper rashes and any kind of skin irritation. It makes a nice, soft, dry and breathable barrier and it absorbs moisture. Apply it on the rash area after every diaper change but make sure that the skin is dry. You can also add a little bit to the bath water and that will soothe the skin as well. Gently drying the rash area with a hair dryer set on low heat, from a distance, works really well too and my baby seemed to really like the flow of warm air on his skin :)
@TheaNicolaides

I used washable diapers for both my girls and instead of diaper creams, I lined the waterproof shell with a prefold cotton cloth (instead of the microfiber-ish ones that came with it). I used the provided inserts inside the shell and the cotton cloth as a barrier against her skin. Never had rash since I started doing that! I try to use as few products as possible, especially on their bottoms. The one baby item I used the most for both is the hip baby wrap (the woven wrap, not sling). It puts all the weight on my hips (not shoulders). And you can carry them in the front or on your back. Best invention ever. I think I could have survived with just that wrap. Great video! 🦋Have a magical day!🦋

A friend of mine used the no-diaper way as an eco-friendly version: She knew exactly which signs her baby gave to show that it needed to pee or poo and then she just held it over a bucket. By 11 months it was potty trained and teaching it the baby sign language it could tell her whenever it needed to. When they were outside and she wasn't able to hold it over a bucket even though it was giving her signs, it was wearing a diaper. By today she said she would now be brave enough to just find a way to hold her baby over a meadow or something similar and just use poop bags as they are used for dogs too :)

I have cloth diapered 2 children from birth to potty training and currently on my 3rd baby 6 months in. I really like the honest company diaper rash cream. When using diaper rash cream use a liner either a bamboo compostable or washable fleece liners. Also with rash make sure it’s not yeast rash. Really thrives in warm moist environments. If it is yeast you will have to get special medicine from a doctor and you will have to bleach your cloth stash to prevent the further cycle of yeast rash.

Mom of six here. It’s not normal for a baby to constantly have a diaper rash, especially since she’s cloth diapered. You can try letting her go diaper-less at home, that should help, but I would also re-examine your wipe solution and your diaper wash routine. Something’s not right. Keep in mind that most “natural” laundry soaps don’t clean well enough to use on diapers. You may have to strip the diapers and try using a different soap.

Another option for reusable nursing pads is wool. They absorb much more than cotton and pull the moisture away from your skin. I had oversupply and the cotton ones didn't work for me either, but I bought some upcycled wool ones and they were amazing!

We have showered with all our kids when they were babies, your not alone! It's easier on a busy mommy.

I live in a country where we bathe our babies in a small bath pan with small amounts of water. You’re absolutely right, filling up a whole bath tub for a little baby is very wasteful.

Showering with a baby honestly never occured to me. It's like so ingrained that baby needs a baby bath it just never registered. This sounds so simple.

Even more "less waste" if you use textile diapers with wool covers (hand-knitted by yourself) instead of pre-sewn cloth diapers. Plus textile diapers can be used as swabs too. I am not saying I do this, just putting the info out here.

My daughter hated baths for the first year of her life, so we only showered with her. Now that she is older, she does love baths but we give them to her more so for relaxation!

I've heard that using a mini fan or a handheld fan to dry your baby's diaper area after cleaning it, can help prevent diaper rash. You may want to give it a try! 😃

We showered with our baby! It was just so much easier and she loved it! And she got very used to having water on her face and we’ve never had any trouble washing her hair or her being afraid of water, she loves swimming! (She’s almost three now).

I also found it much easier to shower with my baby. I was afraid she'd slip out of my arms, so I showered her with a muslin blanket or t-shirt wrapped loosely around her. At the end of the shower, it'd sit down on the shower floor, remove the blanket and wrap her in a soft t-shirt and towel before getting out. I only use soap where needed. Water alone does the job just fine most of the time.

I know a woman who uses cornstarch in a rag for diaper rash (make the rag like a pouf with a hair tie)

My husband bathes our boys. He prefers to just shower with them. They are 2 and 4! So they shower when dad showers and it works great!

Cloth is SO easy for me. It’s honestly no more complicated for us than disposable diapers aside from the laundry load we have to care for. Also those elementals are the bomb.com

I only started last night. And sure enough he pooped in the first one immediately haha. I was freaked out because I am still waiting for a diaper sprayer to rinse over the toilet. But I figured I out and thought...this isn't all that bad...it rinsed right off

Just an FYI improperly cleaned Diapers can cause rash. Reoccurring rash which you are describing. Maybe sunbleach all your diapers just to be safe.

I enjoyed watching this, I don’t think I’ll do the cloth, I can’t with the poop, I am having another baby after 14 years and I am so happy, I had a miscarriage and other things so very excited to grow my bloodline and hopefully with past mistakes I can now teach a close bond to my child

A great plus is you can keep the disposable diapers people give you as gifts and use them when you’re in a pinch

Thank you, love this! Some really useful suggestions, will be looking at reusable wipes and I love the idea of one towel and one spoon and that she eats what you eat! I made the mistake of giving my eldest two very bland puréed food when they were little and have struggled for years to get them to eat anything with flavour! Pregnant now with my third, so excited to keep it simple this time round. Bless x

people use to use a literal white cloth for diapers 🤯 but it’s super great you’re doing cloth diapers!! i wish my sister would do that with her first baby she’s having in july. but at least she’s going to use the seventh generation diapers. :)

Yes! I exclusively shower with baby. Sometimes I’ll put her little tub in the shower so she can sit and play but now that she can stand it’s much easier.
