Well my son has fungus on his bum. Joy. How do I go about stripping his diapers to be fungus free?? I am currently using disposables for the time being till I know that the CD's are clean.
**Yes he was given a prescription but there is OTC which is cheaper and it's the same exact thing. The doctor said so AND the pharmacist.
***I have Fuzzibunz and then prefolds and covers. Some prefolds are hemp if that matters.
... I assume he does, but does he have a prescription cream to get rid of his fungus? If it is ringworm for example... you need to get a medicated prescription cream for that... it can also spread....
What kind of diapers are you using? The pockets and inserts can be bleached (1/4 c per load). Make sure you do wipes too. In fact, BumGenius recommends bleaching 1x per month to disinfect and Lynda from Happy Heiny's has suggested it also. I'd add a couple rinses after just to get the bleach out so you don't have another possible irritant on his little bottom.
wash them as usual & add Vinegar up to a cup depending on how many you have to clean but I would do them all...
I wonder if vinegar in the wash would help?
Put a cup of borax in the wash water. Re-wash the clean diapers. Rinse them well, and wait to use them until his bum is cleared up.
