Does your newborn have diaper rash or a chemical burn ?

 So you are home with your newborn baby. This is a magical time of bonding and excitement. As you and baby are getting into a routine and enjoying every moment, while trying not to worry to much. Suddenly your baby starts showing symptoms of what you assume is diaper rash. As it gets worse and worse and it doesn't matter what you put on it to try and cure it nothing works. Chances are, your baby is hit with pampers diaper chemical burns. This is not just happening to a handful of babies, we are talking about thousands and thousands of babies who's poor little bottoms, thighs, and private areas look like the skin is being removed. It seems to really hit hard babies who are premature or have low immune systems. Even full term babies who are totally healthy are being hit hard.

Way back in the 70's, my son had this problem and I needed to use another brand of disposables. I thought he was allergic to them, but maybe this was the problem.

It very well could be the same thing. I know some baby's do have allergic reactions sometimes to diapers, but I think there's far to many in this case to chalk it up to an allergic reaction.

that is terrible. i did a lot of research before buying diapers for my new baby and found that most diapers have chemicals in them that can not only cause a chemical burn but also toxic shock syndrome, asthma and hormonal disturbances. that is why we went with cloth diapers. better for baby and the environment!

We use cloth diapers and still got chemical burn from synthetics in the fleece. As soon as we switched to natural fiber CLOTH diapers and prefolds his rash cleared right up. I think some babies just have super sensitive skin. In that case cloth natural fiber diapers I think are the way to go. Sad because I had a ton of pockets before I realized the fleece was the problem.
