Eczema causing rashy toosh. Advice? – Cloth Diapers & Parenting … | Is Eczema Curable? Find Out What Can Cure Eczema Permanently

So I posted earlier this week on Ds having a heat rash type deal all over him and on his toosh, especially in the summer. He has eczema in the winter really bad. I took him to the Dr on Thursday and she said that the heat rash he gets in the summer goes along with his eczema. He has dry skin and he already sweats a lot during both summer and winter. The Dr said that with the dry skin he already has from eczema and all the sweating he does getting worse this summer has caused his skin to react with the heat rash. She told me to do aquaphor or a cream based moisturizer on him and then put cortisone cream on him where he’s most rashy. I’ve been doing that the last few days and he’s almost completely cleared up.

So now I have a question on CD’s. I had originally stopped using my BG 4.0’s and Blueberry pockets b/c I thought he was just allergic to the synthetic fibers in them and when he got wet it got worse. I sold all my 4.0’s and bought all prefolds last summer because I figured he just need natural fibers touching him. He did fine all winter with prefolds apart from a regular diaper rash here and there. Now this summer he’s potty training but we wear diapers on him when we are out and about or traveling to visit family each weekend, 2 hours away(this weekend is my weekend “off” so I got to stay home alone ) Anyway, he hates wearing prefolds because he hates feeling wet now. We are preggo with our second and I want to get a stash of OS pockets for out and about and travel that I can use for him and for our next in case he/she ends up with bad eczema too. I’m thinking about getting a stash of BG 4.0’s again because they are our favorite pocket diaper. I’m worried though about his toosh feeling too hot and the kinds of rash cream to put on him. I use aquaphor as his butt barrier sometimes in prefolds to help keep his toosh from feeling too wet and to keep it from getting rashy and it works really well.

After ALL of that, my questions are: What diapers would you suggest my trying to keep him dry, semi cool (I know, no diaper feels cool in the summer) and for the convenience of long car rides and travel? I don’t like AIO’s. Simplexes are the only ones that he didn’t pee through when I tried them but he didn’t like them himself for some reason. What kinds of creams can I use in pocket diapers? I’m thinking about using the aquaphor as a barrier cream like I do in the prefolds because, honestly, it’s the only thing that keeps rash completely at bay for us. Is it ok to use in pockets though? What other creams can I use in pockets? I have desitin now that I use for a bad rash. Thanks in advance!!!
