I would truly love to have some information on cloth diapering a child with eczema. Especially, what cloth diaper safe ointments have been a success, as well as what detergents are best for extremely sensitive skin. I have asked others before with little luck, mainly people trying too figure out the root cause of the eczema, which is nice, but we are figuring that out. But when he flares up, I would like to have some options in my arsenal besides what I have been doing, which is turning to disposables.

I only use prefolds (jelly roll – I love how it keeps everything in and I rarely have to wash covers!) with the occasional Flip diaper thrown in (mostly as something easier for when we’re away from home for a diaper change). Can you tell me more about inserts & overnight diapering? So far she does great, even all night, but I’m guessing she may have heavier wetting as she gets older and wonder if it will begin to bother her at some point – for now she doesn’t seem to mind being wet for a while at all.

It is really disappointing sometimes. I know, you can’t win often– but that’s the thing. Some people do. One of the winners from this party has won at at LEAST two other parties in the last 6 weeks. She’s also a popular figure in the cloth diaper online community. Makes you wonder.
Especially when the teacher’s pet winner only made a handful of posts, few of which were anything of depth. There were far more active people who gave great advice, help, answers, comedic relief and could have been chosen.
This is not the first time that the cloth diaper leaders have let me down. There were also a few pinterest contests for unique and creative boards where the winners were highly generic, and unique entries were completely overlooked (by different organizations). I have won something once. In a year. I’m ok with not winning, but please don’t say you are going to pick someone who does great and then just go with someone whose contribution is mediocre at best. Thank you for all the great prizes offered, but I think I’ll stick to Monday nights on twitter where there aren’t prizes usually.
