How to prevent diaper rashes with cloth diapers

Are you a new parent dealing with bothersome diaper rashes on your child's tender bottoms? Babies of all ages can get diaper rashes, which are a frequent and irritating issue. Wetness, sensitive skin, and irritation due to chemicals in disposable diapers are just a few of the causes. But do not worry, there is a solution that will not only save your kid from getting diaper rashes but will also benefit them in many other ways: washable cloth diapers, by A Toddler Thing!!

Why do baby diaper rashes occur?

Let's first discuss what diaper rashes are and what causes them. Red, swollen areas on a baby's skin, usually around the diaper area, are known as diaper rashes. Most of the time, they may be little and go away fast. But at times they may be more serious and give your child pain and discomfort.

Most often, extended exposure to moisture can irritate the skin and result in a rash on diapers. Newborn babies are especially vulnerable to rashes when they wear disposable diapers because of their plastic make and absorbent core made of chemicals, which can trap moisture against the skin. This could lead to moisture building, which in turn becomes the breeding ground for germs, which cause rashes.

Babies are full of messy surprises, and chemical loaded synthetic diapers create messes we don’t want for our babies or for the environment. That being said, cloth diapers made of organic cotton are the best bet! 

One of the biggest advantages of using cloth diapers for babies is that they are washable and reusable. This not only makes them more environmentally friendly but also more cost-effective in the long run. With cloth diapers, you don't have to worry about constantly buying and throwing away, as is the case with disposable diapers. At A Toddler Thing, cloth diapers come in a variety of fun and cute designs, making diaper changes more enjoyable for both you and your baby.


Why Cloth Diapers Are the Ultimate Rash Busters:

Say goodbye to diaper dramas, and painful rashes! Let's explore how cloth diapers can keep your baby's bum happy and rash-free. It's time for a diaper revolution, are you ready for it?

  1. 100% natural and chemical free: Unlike the disposable ones, cloth diapers are made from breathable fabrics like organic cotton. This allows air to circulate freely around your baby's delicate skin, preventing moisture build-up and decreasing the chances of rashes.
  2. Happy bums!  Your baby's sensitive skin can flourish without the chemicals and moisture present in disposable diapers, which lowers the risk of diaper rashes and other skin problems.
  3. Versatile fit: Every baby is unique, and cloth diapers recognize that. With a variety of sizes, styles, and adjustable features, you can easily customize the fit of cloth diapers to suit your little one's shape and size.
  4. Gentle on skin: Cloth diapers for babies are made from natural cotton fibre which is gentle on your baby's skin, as they are free from harsh chemicals, minimizing the risk of irritation and allergic reactions. 
  5. Excellent absorption: Our cloth diapers are renowned for their absorbency, thanks to multiple layers of natural fibres. In fact, we have different variants for light-wetters as well as heavy-wetters.
  6. Sustainable and long lasting: One of the biggest perks of cloth diapers is their washable and reusable nature. Not only does this save you money in the long run, but it also reduces waste and environmental impact—a win-win for both your purse and the planet.
  7. Reduces chemical exposure: Chemicals, perfumes, and colours in disposable diapers might irritate your baby's skin. Cloth diapers, on the other hand, are free from these dangerous substances, offering your child's bottom a natural and secure alternative.

Not only are cloth diapers for newborn babies more comfortable and protect your kid from harm, but they also help the environment. Think about it. So, why settle for anything less?
