Diaper Changing Question from a Newbie

I have never changed a diaper in my life and I am weeks away from our first baby. I have a couple questions. Can I use baby wipes from the start? I read online that you should use a warm washcloth for the first couple months because of sensitvity etc. That sounds crazy. Can't I just use sensitive skin wipes? Second, do I use baby powder and/or desitine type cream with every change? How do I know when to just change it vs. using a cream or powder? Any helpful tips would be great! Thanks in advance for your help, S.

Baby's Poo Burned Her Bottom :(

My 15month old daughter had a poo that burned her bottom so badly there are even 2 small spots where the skin is a little broken from blistering. Has anyone experienced this?There were no new or acidic foods and she's not sick, I'm not sure what could have caused it. It happened late yesterday afternoon at daycare, and when I got her home to bathe her she couldn't even sit in the water and cried from pain, it was awful. I put lots of diaper cream for the night and this morning it was better, it also seemed to be healing throughout the day....

Diaper Rash with Cloth Diapers

Hi all! I am new to cloth diapers (I started using them when my two week old daughter came home from the hospital) and was wondering what to do for diaper rash. I am using prefolds and a few pockets for overnight, but I have heard that the traditional diaper creams like balmex and such will coat the diapers and make them pretty useless. My little girl has a TERRIBLE rash on her bottom (very red and bumpy!) and I was wondering what I should do for her...I've been letting her air it out for most of the day but was wondering what I can use ...
