I'm not sure about a fungus, but I know a little about a yeast infection. Is that what you mean? When I suspected a yeast infection that didn't go away even with antifungal cream, I boiled the diapers and cloth wipes in a big pot on the stove. It was a pain in the butt, but all for the sake of a darling little butt! Ha ha. My daughted ended up not having yeast, but my diapers have never been so clean! By the way, I boiled them when they were clean out of the machine- it seems obvious but when I told my sister I was boiling them she got totally grossed out. I also used vinegar in the rinse thereafter, and sprayed them with tea tree oil. There are some previous posts on there about yeast infection.
Another thing...I just reread your post. You don't want the rash to spread to your other babies, so try to keep the boiled diapers exclusively for the boy with a rash. You'll need two diaper pails. I had to do this for a bit because my baby and toddler both wear the OS diapers. Good luck! |
I tried it again on my boy when he was almost heal and he got sick again! so I'm going to try to boil them. So do I need to boil ALL the diapers? for how long did you boil the diapers? and did you put the vinager in the washing machine? or just rinse them with vinager? how much vinager? why did you spray them with tree oil? did you leave the oil in? or rinse it out? sorry for all the questions! but I'm new at this. I'll try finding the all post on yeast. Thanks again!!
