I am currently battling yeast with my son who is only 2.5 weeks old. We've temporarily switched to disposables while we kill the yeast in his prefolds and diapers. I can tell you what I've learned about yeast. First of all, I've heard that regular vinegar is made from grains which can feed the yeast. Potatoes and bread and anything with yeast or starch should be left out of the diet while battling yeast. Also, if breastfeeding, it definitely helps to cut out sugar and starch from your diet for a while and start taking acidophilus or some form of probiotic which will in turn, help your baby. Also, taking ACV yourself daily can help keep the yeast at bay. Crushed garlic also helps a lot! You can make a herbal bath with crushed garlic and tea tree oil for baby. Oh, and any mamas with yeast issues...a great natural method is putting a few drops of tea tree oil on the end of a tampon and inserting at night over the course of 3 nights and it should clear up. Another method that I haven't tried, but my midwives say it works...is to insert a clove of garlic :0 Thanks for all the great info on this site! Great tips!

If she's had it since she was born maybe she is allergic to the inner fabric of the diaper? Are you sure it’s yeast?

I tried ACV and it worked so well, she is allergic to dairy and nuts, but still breaks out every once in a while. I carry a squirt bottle and use it with ACV and water instead of wipes but soon enough its back if i even miss one diaper without it, she gets em then they go away for a long time then come back even worse HELP!

They are all dingy looking and not absorbing well. My daughter has had a rash for a month or so that we just figured out was yeast. Do you have any recommendations for saving the diapers, getting rid of the yeast, AND treating her poor little bum??

Although I like a tight fit, it can cause the moisture to wick or irritate the skin. You might buy one diaper a size up and see if that helps. You'd know if it was ammonia from the smell. Yeast could be a culprit. I believe (and could be wrong) that FB recommends occasional bleach use. You might try that and see if it clears up. If the diaper is too small it can cause problems.

I am new to cloth diapering and my son has a bad rash on his thighs but not in the crease and not wear the elastic is but near the elastic on the top of his thighs (red, puffy). It sometimes affects his scrotum too. We have used fuzzi bunz since one month, he is 5 months now and has had the rash for a few weeks now). I do not know if it is diaper chaffing (the microfiber insert), yeast, ammonia or just bad fit (we are using small fb and he is on the first snap for waist and last snap for thighs). Please help!!

I am really trying to avoid the bleach (again) since it majorly faded my diaps the 1st time I did it and it seemed to wear them down. Will GFSE/sun not be enough? I'm willing to bleach if it will cure the problem but just trying to find a more natural solution...thanks!
