I used the Earth Mama Angel Baby baby bottom cream and it worked really well! It has all natural ingredients and goes on nicely.

CJ's is really good.
So is breast milk and air drying.
Or jojoba oil with an option couple drops of EOs depending on baby's age.

I thought about breast milk! I'll try it, thanks!

She's ten weeks.

Coconut oil. I rub a little on after each diaper change. DS is 4 mo and hasn't had a rash.

This!
Also we switched to the tide free and gentle and it made a huge difference

Any oil that can go rancid can eventually make your cloth diapers stink since the oil can't be washed out. Fractionated coconut oil is a little safer. Either way I'd use a disposable liner or paper towel with it. Jojoba oil is a natural preservative and never goes bad, so it's the safest oil for cloth. That's one reason I love it so much.

Coconut oil is fine in cloth. I use cloth diapers too.

my son and daughter both have a bad diaper rash and its starting to blister on both of them...would jojoba oil still work and where do you get it?

Absolutely! You can get it at a health food store or herbal shop. You can add a tiny bit of lavender oil to it if you'd like too.
