Diaper rash and sleeping longer

Maybe get a different brand of diaper that stays more dry during the night 🤗 I used to buy Coterie diapers online but they’re pricey but then I found out about Millie Moon diapers at target that are SO much cheaper and are the dupe version. I have yet to experience diaper rash. But I do change her if she wakes up for feeds. I hope that helps :)

thank you so much. I will try these. I currently use Honest but he’s always struggled with diaper rash.

My baby usually goes about 8-10 hours over night without a diaper change (as long as it's not a poop diaper or super full). We use pampers swaddlers and we haven't dealt with any diaper rash.

You could try coconut oil for the rash and see if that helps too :)

My 10 week EBF baby sleeps every 3-5 hours overnight, waking for feeds. The past two nights had some 2 hour stints, too. I would love it if we had longer sleeps at night. He uses Pampers Swaddlers and has a consistent diaper rash, despite cream being reapplied most changes and diaper changed every feed. I think it’s a combination of his father genetically having sensitive skin, and also that my LO has a light sensitivity to my breast milk (we are excluding dairy milk in my diet to improve this).

Thank you ladies.
Will try the coconut oil too . Do I use it prior to the zinc?

thanks seems my baby is also sensitive and I too have changed my diet a lot but still having this issue.

I would try replacing it and seeing if that works better :)

I use Huggies little smugglers and my baby goes about 6hrs with it. Sometimes when she wakes up during the night for a feeding I don’t wanna wake her up with a diaper change and she’s good in the morning with those. For the rash try using aquaphor and a little baby powder for the moisture.

, congrats on 7hrs of sleep!!! Our little man is 9 weeks on Friday and we’re desperate to get him to sleep longer (currently 4 hrs is the average stretch.. he did 5hrs once and we were so hopefully it’s continue). What is your daily schedule/evening routine? I’m sooooo looking for alternatives to try to help us.

I also use Cotier and LOVE them. We will put him in a fresh diaper at 9pm and he’s good until about 5-6am without leaking and no rash so far. These diapers are fabulous! Hope your little man’s bum gets better!!

mine had diaper rash from most diapers besides huggies/kirkland! after dirty diaper changes, we use a dry washcloth to dry his butt then apply a layer of aquaphor (a thicker layer before bed). he hasn’t had a diaper rash since using aquaphor - way better than any of those diaper rash creams for us

oh and he sleeps 8-10 hrs at night, no diaper rash

thank you! I breast feed during the day and every 2-4 hours. I change his diaper in between the feeds. At night I give him a bottle so I know he takes 4-5 oz for sure. I make sure room is dark, sound machine on and I rock him to sleep. Once asleep, I put him in his sleep sack since he’s never liked being swaddled and I put him in the bassinet. That’s what’s worked for us hope it was helpful :) I’m sure your LO will start sleeping longer soon. Thanks for the advise/feedback !

Thanks !! We essentially do the same thing (feedings every 3 hrs). I feel like we may need to explore ensuring he’s awake more during the day. Do you follow a specific time schedule (like does he go down or get up at the same time each night/day)? We’re so desperate!! I’m hopeful he’ll soon be sleeping longer at night!

Thank you again! 🤗

yes we keep it around 9pm for his last feed and he’s down by 10pm. He’s then up around 5am. I feed and change his diaper and he goes back down till 7/8 in the am.

Perhaps is not the diapers but that his skin is still a bit damp when you put the diaper? My diaper routine is wipes, very good dry with a dry wash cloth, lots of aquaphor balm if No rash or diaper rash cream in area with rash and aquaphor on other areas and then close the diaper. Note the step of drying the skin is very important because all disposable diapers don’t breath well and if humidity gets trapped your are looking for bacteria to grow. Good luck!

Try putting on aquaphor all over for the last diaper before putting him to bed. It should be a good barrier between any moisture and help to prevent the rash.

thank you for your advice. 🙏🏻🫶🏻
