How do I see if I am using the correct size setting for my Blümchen diapers?

The nappy should always be flush without constricting or causing striae. It is best to check the seat, if the baby has already worn the diaper for some time. The diaper has already shifted into the correct position and now shows when it is too loose somewhere. Adapt cloth diapers always with the elastic back to the waistband of the baby.

Can I use barrier cream and still use Blümchen cloth diapers?

Wound protection creams are very difficult to wash out of cloth nappies and reduce the absorbency. If you want to use wound protection cream, you should therefore always use a thick disposable paper fleece or 2 layers of our thin Blümchen nappy fleece.

A note: Classic zinc-based barrier creams completely cover the skin and prevent air exchange. This does not support the positive effect of breathable diapers.

Alternative products based on lanolin or grease should only be used with paper fleece, as these creams react with the stay dry membranes in the diaper and make it water-repellent. The diaper will then not be able to absorb the moisture and will leak. If you have grease residues on dry fleece, you can remove them easily with a fat-dissolving detergent.
