1. Luvs!
2. LUVS THATS WHAT I USE AND THEY WORK GREAT PAMPERS GAVE MY BABY BOY A RASH AND TARGET BRAND IS GOOD TO
3. Luvs, White Cloud, or Cloth!
4. Any store brand, or as the other people suggested Luvs, which I never liked, but some people swear by them.
5. Pampers, huggies, and LUVS all have a definite scent to them. Try generic diapers... White Cloud by Wal-Mart is a good line... they aren't all perfumed up. and make sure you aren't using any scented wipes on the baby either...that can cause the irritation and let her have some naked time...lay her down on a towel in case she goes while her diaper is off.
6. The reaction may have come from the chlorine in the diapers. Whole foods, & Babies r Us sell allergenic free daipers. http://www.seventhgeneration.com/Diapers
7. Newborns have very sensitive skin. You should can your pediatrician. He/she may want to see it.
8. its probably the added scents that are causing the irritation to her skin. any cheap brand would probably be okay because they aren't scented. target brand is pretty good. i dont like luvs, they leaked for me.
9. allergic free diapers from toys r us or cloth
10. Seventh Generation, they are the only disposable ones without Chlorine. They will be in the Organic section, some Fred Meyer stores have them or any natural market like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. If those don't work you might have to go with cloth, which isn't as bad as it sounds. Cloth diapers have come a long way and are fitted, with snaps or velcro instead of pins and come in an all-in-one so you don't have to deal with a separate diaper and cover. Plus a LOT cheaper in the long run than disposables.
11. We Cloth Diaper. Kissaluvs are my favorite for newborns.
12. ok same thing happend to me and I figured out that it was really the diapers and the wipes. so what I had to do was use pampers sensitive wipes and the pampers diapers but I would suggest trying the ones at target(its cheaper than babies r us or the health food stores) if you have one where u live. that are organic and clorine free both the diapers and wipes. and also the older your baby is like at 7 or 8 months the child will be not so sensitive and you can buy the huggies again. also use dryer balls in your dryer not fabric sheets (they sell them at babies r us or bedbath and beyond) and baby all because if your baby is sensitive the clothes and sheets towels ect cant have any perfumes or dryer sheets! if that all dosent work within a week or it gets worse call your doctor office and ask the nurse on duty what they recommend.
13. I heard Seventh Generation or Tushies Tender Care are good. But I haven't tried either. Good Luck.
14. try luvs. try sensitive wipes as well. dont get any wipes with fragrance. and call your doctor.
15. Ive heard that Luvs work great. I just bought some today to try them, because they are cheaper the Huggies. Ive tried White Cloud, but they leaked so bad, and they were so stiff.
16. Luvs or you could go for cloth diapers. Whatever works best:) EDIT: My brother had something like that, it was because we used No Name wipes instead of the regular Huggies that we used... just a thought.
