This story main character shall remain anonymous in order to protect her identity...and because in a few years she might be mad because her mother wrote a blog post about her private area and her stinky armpit (ah ah ah)!!!The main character, that we will name Kitten, has some little problems. Upon examination of certain areas (aka diaper area and armpit), Kitten's mom recently discovered two skin rashes.
If kitten is like her mother, she probably has sensitive skin and doesn't tolerate very humid (or very dry) environments. Kitten's mom goes to baby yoga class once a week and takes an ergo baby carrier to reach her destination. For a strange reason, on yoga day, it's always extremely hot (38C / 100F with humidity factor) and both mother and daughter get soaked wet. Kitten doesn't seem to care but her little bum and pubic area get red and irritated. Also, Kitten's armpit, with all of its lovely extra layers of fat, gets red and produces a Camembert like smell!
Kitten's mom carefully washes the areas (as soon as they are back from yoga class) and things get better. However, since summer just started, kitten's mom is worried that things might get out of control.
Do you have any tips that could help Alice...um, this anonymous baby?
note: I made a little pair of pants for Alice using lovely Nani Iro fabric.* * * * *
bec hem: Technology freaks me out a bit (a lot)! I don't know how we are going to "control" it with Alice.

OMG those pants are adorable!
In answer to kitten's predicament, you can try patting a little cornstarch in these areas to soak up extra moisture. It works like a charm! (I had to do this with Alexa's neck folds. The slobber was getting in there and causing quite a stink.)
i second the cornstarch, it has worked pretty well around here - but it does tend to get a little messy!
also, since it's gotten hot around here i've stopped using the newborn insert with my ergo. instead i just sit luke in it sideways, so both legs poke out the same side, and things seem to be a lot less sweaty for both of us (though still pretty sweaty, this kid is a furnace!).
love the pants :)
the pants are perfect. i think i might have to make some out of nani iro as well. i have been saving some for some clothes for my little one. yay.
i don't know about kittens, but i've used the cornstarch and it really does work a treat.
Coconut oil works well too. It's naturally antifungal and wicks moisture, so you can use it as both prevention & treatment. Also it smells nice, works with cloth diapers, and isn't messy.
i vote cornstarch too: just powder up all those folds nice and powdery!
Aw her little pants are so sweet. I just ordered some Nani Iro fabric for a cushion the other day after seeing someone else blog about this fabric. Such beautiful patterns and colours to select from...
PS.You will LOVE Press Here - guaranteed :)

Claudia, May I ask where you found that particular Nani Iro fabric? I just happened upon your blog (very cute baby by the way!), and I've been looking for that fabric for weeks! All of the on-line stores are out of it!
I also live in Montreal- any fabric store suggestions?
