The Dreaded Yeasties

Posted by Jess on 1/2/2012

You've been to the pediatrician and they have told you that it is YEAST!  They've told you how to treat your baby, but what about your diapers?

The difference with cloth diapers verse disposables, yeast has the opportunity to infect your diapers as well as your baby.  The best way to stop this is to fight the yeast on the baby and in the diapers at the same time.  Yeast is caused by bacteria, specifically Candida albicans.  In order to stop the infection, you need to kill the bacteria.  Candida is susceptible to:

  • Grapefruit Seed Extract
  • Tea Tree Oil
  • Oxygen Bleach containing Grapefruit Seed Extract
  • Sunshine
  • Hot water
I recommend a combination of the list above to ensure that the yeast is gone.  

Wash Routine:

  • Rinse diapers in cold water to remove urine
  • Wash with hot water; hotter than 130 degrees with either of the options below.
    • Add 3-5 drops of Grapefruit Seed Extract or Tea Tree to the wash with detergent
    • Add 2 tablespoons of Oxygen Bleach to the wash with detergent
  • Hang up to dry in the sunlight (will also help bleach out any stains)
  • Fluff in the dryer as needed
*You need to continue to treat the diapers while you are treating the baby and for a couple days afterward.  

Natural treatment for the baby:

  • CJ's BUTTer Plus is specially formulated to help treat the yeast on the baby.  Available in unscented only, this formula has sesame and neem oil added to help treat your baby.
