Longer nights = diaper rash

I've been cloth diapering for 3 months with very few problems.  Now that my daughter is sleeping longer in the night (and I'm not changing her diaper until the morning), I've started to have problems with diaper rash.  When we use disposables (yuck!) at night we have no problems with diaper rash, but we really want to get away from having to use them at all.  If I want to use cloth diapers for nights, I may just have to change her diaper 1 or 2 times, but I'd love to know if anyone has a magic combination for keeping the wetness away from baby during the night.  We haven't had any problems with leaks using the cloth at night.

We do a fitted at night with either a hemp or a OBF doubler on the outside, between the diaper and the cover. We use either wool interlock or PUL at night. I used to use a fleece liner, but haven't used one in ages since it didn't seem to make a difference to her. The cupcake is in her night diaper for 10 hours usually. No red bum issues here either. Oddly, The Cupcake only gets a red bum occasionally from the generic sposies they use at daycare if we neglect to take in her CD's.

I am doing sposies at night right now because I was having trouble finding a solution that worked for us. (and I will probably try again soon). My DD would get a red bum, too. I think it was due to the ammonia. I found that using a very thin film of plain old lanolin would help protect her skin. If I skipped this step, she would end up with redness. I used a fitted with snap-in soaker with a hemp doubler, covered with wool or MEAF. Even with rinsing the diaper well in the morning and trying various tweaks to the wash routine, I just became frustrated. I would not use lanolin, though, unless you wash at some point with hot water. With hot, it will dissolve. The GMD website recommended it for rashes, and I figured they know their stuff. Good luck! (and if you find a solution, please let me know). I just decided that chemicals in sposies are preferable to burning her skin... At least until I am able to figure out a better wash routine. Do you have a strong ammonia smell in the morning? Do you think it could be that?

I am using a MEOS fitted with a trifolded PF and fleece liner with my 2 y.o. but she isn't a super soaker.  One thing that has really helped with a lot of our nighttime troubles is using a wool cover at night.  They breath so much more than PUL we rarely have a red bottom or stink in the morning anymore.

I really like Motherease Sandies for night time, with a prefold doubler. 

Sandies with a prefold doubler is what we do here too. (Well, Toddle-ease now that YDS is bigger)

What about boiling with Dawn...has anyone had luck with that?

Ok, I'm looking at the different options for the Sandy's diapers and I'm on the fence.  Is the bamboo going to be more absorbent or should I go with the cotton?

I only have PUL diapers for DS, but now with all these forum topics I see I really want some wool! Maybe by the time I have another we'll get some!  I was thinking the same thing about the detergent, it's just so hard to find a compatible one. Have you heard of Northern Essence Better Butter? It's the most amazing rash cream I have used.  I would give that a try at night and see if it helps, along with switching detergents. You could also just wash your diapers with super hot water if you think it's detergent build up.  I haven't done that, but I read a few places that people have done that with success.

Oh, good to know. DS has blowouts too :/  And, you're welcome!

Yay!  We've been using the Sandy's for two nights and NO RED BOTTOM in the morning :)  The Sandy's also lasted longer with no leaking or dampness at all.  When we wake up now, we can enjoy the first couple of minutes of smiles and giggles and I'm not thinking, Got to change her now before she leaks all over the bed.

That's awesome!
