YES!
Some babies are very sensitive to the chemicals in disposable diapers and get severe rashes. Though even if you can not see the negative affects of disposable diapers in babies, they are still there.
Disposable Diapers have been linked to asthma.
Also the absorbent gel in disposables is sodium polyacrylate, a chemical that has been linked to toxic shock syndrome and can cause allergic reactions. It is also lethal to cats if inhaled. Pediatric journals have reported that this chemical can stick to babies' genitals and pull fluids from their skin. Disposables also contain dyes and fragrances that can cause adverse reactions in some people.
Tributylin has been found in disposable diapers. TBT is ranked by the World Health Organization as one of the most toxic substances in use in consumer products in the world today. It is a biocide and is used in killing or preventing the growth of bacteria.
A German study in 2000 found that disposable diapers raised the scrotal temperature of little boys by one degree. For boys, whose testicals are still developing, this may be a very serious concern. Increased scrotal temperature – even by one degree - is associated with infertility in men.
Feel free to do your own research, I included links below.

My toddler is allergic to the chemical compounds in maximum disposable diapers. He had diaper rash for all time till I switched to seventh technology diapers, which incorporate no chlorine, fragrance or latex. i'm specific textile diapers could additionally do the trick. you additionally can attempt G Diapers, that have a textile like conceal that gets washed and a disposable insert which could be flushed, composted or thrown away.

Some babies are allergic to diapers and get a rash much like diaper rash.
Other than minor skin irritants, no, they dont effect the baby.

the little swimmers diapers gave my son the worst rash I have ever seen. He had never had a rash before wearing those. I used a cream that we buy at the feed store called corona. (its for cows and calves) Cleared his rash up within 2 days. He never had another after that.

it depends on the baby, most babies are fine with regular diapers, but if they get a rash try a rash cream....very few babies need cloth diapers these days, but they are still an option.

It kept my baby from having diaper rash each time. Cloth only seemed to cause it and I changed them alot.

No, I think if they did we would have heard about it by now.
