I received some used cloth diapers from a friend, she said they needed to be stripped before use--I used Dawn to strip.

Last night I changed my daughters diaper and there was a rash everywhere except her butt...the diaper was only wet not soiled. She was in a Goodmama my friend had given me. I thought it was weird that she had a rash, and it looks pretty intense. Well I remembered talk of ammonia and I smelt the diaper...I think it has a slight ammonia smell, but I'm not entirely sure.

My daughter is only 6 weeks old, so should her wet diapers even be causeing ammonia build up at this point? I thought that only started when incorporating other foods other then breast milk?

How do I treat it if it is an ammonia burn, just diaper rash cream? And should I try stripping all of her diapers again, or just wash them like crazy?]]> http://allaboutclothdiapers.com/forum/discussion/141/nothing-works-ammonia-issues Sun, 17 Jun 2012 17:17:00 -0400 Pollito 141@/forum/discussions
New: no more Bac-Out, I use Calgon every wash (very hard water in Ohio), wash every other day, warm rinse, cold rinse, hot wash with 2 scoops of Tiny bubbles (told is great on hard water) two cold rinses.

To treat my problem I have stripped with dawn, switched detergents, added a water softener, and lastly I did a 24 soak with RLR then many cold rinses--just last night, yet the first diaper DS peed on had a HUGE ammonia stink! So bad it burns my nose. :(

The only thing left I can think of is to boil my MF inserts, but what do I do with natural fabric with buttons like my Sbish OBFs or my GroVia soakers that have a PUL layer?

I'm so frustrated and confused. I'm "this" close to giving up, please help!
