Diaper Rash & Pampers
My twins got their 1yr shots on thursday, along with a flu shot. They both had diarrhea from friday thru yesterday ( which I was expecting it happened at 6months when they got their shots & the flu shot) the diarrhea caused diaper rash.. specifically a yeast infection in both of them. Their ped. gave us a cream to put on them 4-5 times a day. My son is no longer red or irritated, my daughter on the other hand is bright red. We currently have a box of pampers. I have heard that some babies have had reactions to pampers. We have alaways used pampers and not had any issues. I am going to buy a box of huggies and see if that makes any difference. Has anyone elses kids had issues with pampers and rash's? I dont think the pampers caused the rash, but I am thinking for whatever reason they may be the reason my daughters not healing.

I think it depends on the child. My son would get a rash from Pampers, so we used Huggies with him. When my daughter came along we used Huggies again and found out that she would get a rash from them, so we switched to Pampers for her.
Good Luck!

It was and is the pampers cruisers with dry max that are causing the problems. If you are using swaddlers or baby dry then that shouldn't be the problem. I won't go near the cruisers with any of my children. My SILs daughter got a chemical burn from the cruisers and as soon as she switched back to the baby dry her daughter was fine.

All three of my children would get red bums with all the other brands of diapers, pampers brand was the only one that would not. They would get a red bum, and at times bleed. So not worth using the different brands. They were more expensive, but well worth it for the comfort for them.

I've used both brands (Pampers and Huggies) and haven't had any problems. My son did get a nasty rash from the wipes, however (Huggies wipes) we discovered we had to use chlorine-free wipes. I would suggest trying chlorine-free diapers and wipes and see if that helps!

GOD YES!
Something with what ever they use for absorbing and the weaver.
All three of my boys had horrible rashes ANYTIME I used Pampers.
Huggies are the only diapers that are name brand I can use on my youngest(the only one left in diapers).
The Target Brand diapers are the other one I found that dont bother his hiney.
Mine all did ok with pampers until we had similar issues...With the first two I had to do the process of elimination....I just knew with the third and stopped using them...(my MIL bought diapers for me most the time..and she would only buy pampers...when I told her I needed to switch Zephyr to huggies she said sorry I wont buy then for you then)...
Its worth a try. Buy one of the smaller packages...which seems like a no brainer now that I have typed it!
I hope things clear up for her:)

When my daughter got a rash, we were told to let her air out as much as possible. I put a little pallet down with waterproof pads, towels and toys. I let her play there as long as possible without a diaper. My daughter is younger so it was not as difficult to keep her still.
When she got the rash, we were using Babies R Us disposables. Now, we use cloth during the day and Earth's Best, Luv's or Huggies at night.

I've heard some reactions from Pampers Baby Dry. My LO reacts to Huggies Snug and Dry, but is fine with Little Snugglers (She is 3 mo.). I think every baby is different, and you just have to watch for reactions. My first got severe diaper rash every time she had apple juice/sauce. Just eliminate things and add them back to see if you can figure out the cause.

We use Baby Dry and do not have problems with them. Try a different diaper.
