My daughter is 9 months, just yesterday I opened a pack of the Walmart Brand diapers (Parent's Choice) that her dad had put in our cart the other day. I didn't notice until after I used them that it said "Fresh Scent" we've used regular wipes no problem but she broke out in this TERRIBLE rash. It looked like a bruise and she screams every time I try to wipe when she poo's. (Been using warm water instead)

I threw all three packs and we've gone back to sensitive. I hope it goes away just as quick for us. I feel so terrible. ):

my siblings and I were allergic to pampers when we were babies, and all of our babies are allergic to pampers as well.

My oldest when he was a newborn had the same problem. I eventually resorted to buying plain white viva paper towels and mixing up a batch of water and hypo aveno baby wash together. Remove the cardboard roll and put into a upright plastic container w lid and made my own roll of wipes. Like the cheap ones that they use to sell in the round tubs. Good luck keeping everything clear. Hopefully your lil guy will outgrow this allergy. =)

I found that Triple Paste works best for Diaper Rash! I like the diaper Rash creams that are more of a past then a lotion they stick to the skin better and are harder to wipe away then creams like destine

I never had problems with this with my 3 oldest children. We always used huggies wipes so when we had our 4th thats what we bought. She got a rash that would go away either. We tried pampers, parents choice, and a few others and she still had the rash. My sister in law bought me some kirkland wipes from costco for my baby shower so I tried those and it went away. We had to use them till she was about a year old. Now we can use the huggies brand. I don't know if this has something to do with the fact that she had a milk allergy diagnosed at about the same time or not.

Also, the Aveeno line of products are very sensitive and work great for us!!! Diaper rash cream, bath wash, lotion, everything.

My son is 2 and we still use huggies natural because everything else broke him out. We had the same problem as you when we tried something new, then a few days after stopping, it would go away.

yeah the parents choice whipes we had broke him out too well so I thought but now i am starting to think that he may have some kind of yest in his urin thats causeing him to break out since he doesnt have any of those bumps or antyhing on his butt... doesnt make since

Really I may have to try that... I also found out today.. that he may have something in his urin because the rash type thing is only around his groin area not on his little butt... so my mom is a nurse and the girls she works with were asking about that.. saying it was weird that it wasnt on his butt if it was whipes because i whipe his butt with them too ... so the doctor said it may be some kind of yest in his urin.. so im going to try some other creams to see if it hekps.. keeping my fingers crossed.

My son has eczema, so every thing i buy for him has to be fragrance free and hypoallergenic. I buy mine at Sam's Club in Bulk, and put them in a wipe warmer so they are not cold on his skin

That is what we were using the Pampers sensative.. then i used the parents choice kind what do you know those broke him out too .. so not sure if its just whipes in genral or what!

I have actually found that the pampers wipes are the worst as far as leaving my little girl with spots. I think they just have too much stuff on them for her skin. The store brand is better for her and cheaper.

Thank you .. the paper towles seem to be working okay they just seem to leave a lot of white stuff behind lol.. i liked the whipes cause it looked like he was cleaned off.. but i am just scared of trying something else and then him breaking out again lol one thing after another haha

Yeah I've heard of it before. Some babies can be allergic to diapers and wipes. My daughter was never allergic, but we buy our wipes in bulk from Sam's Club and their wipes are fragrance free and hypoallergenic. So if you find the paper towels just aren't cutting it you could try those or cloth wipes like someone else suggested. Hope your little one's bottom clears up. :)

most babywipes (even the sensative ones) and baby lotions are full of really harsh dangerous chemicals, that should be nowhere near a babys skin! they use them because its cheaper than using natural ingredients, and because not that many babies brea out in rashes like yours (although the chemicals are still being absorbed into their bodys and doing other damage) they are allowd to used them. These companies are there to make money, and dont care how they do it - it makes me so sad! I used paper towels with water - which worked fine and was much cheaper too! just make sure that anything you put onto your child including lotions, balms, soaps, laundry powders etc are all natural and chemical free - it might be a bit more expensive, but you cant put a price on you childrens health- especially if it means preventing more serious health problems like eczema, asthma, allergies and cancers from developing.

Really thank you I didn't know that we will have to try those and see how he does with them!
