If you haven't already heard, it's important to know that the majority of diaper creams are NOT safe to use on baby's bum when you are using cloth diapers. The creams can build up in the diaper and destroy the fabric. Your two options are to use diaper liners or to use ointments safe for cloth diapers. If you decide to use liners, read my post about making your own reusable liners or you can buy the Bummis ones. Of course, you can also go with a flushable type. If you don't want to mess with liners on a regular basis, a must purchase is GroVia's Magic Stick. This product is amazing for several reasons. It is effective, and beat all minor irritations and rashes I have encountered. Plus, it is hands-free, so your fingers don't get all messy mid-diaper change. It's not going to melt in your diaper bag during summer months or make a mess if the top accidentally pops open. An added bonus is that it smells nice. Also, consider using coconut oil in addition or instead of the Magic Stick.Have you tried the Magic Stick? What other cloth diaper safe ointments have you used?
