Lisa, microfibre just needs one prewash to get rid of manufacturing residue.

Hemp/bamboo/cotton needs more to get up to full absorbancy. obviously it's not Eco or good for your pennies to wash it loads of times so most people soak it for 24 hours then do one wash.
Ifyou do lots of washes you don't need to dry in-between and they can def all go in together!

Was that it? I can't remember!!

At the beginning he might just need changing slightly more frequently until everything reaches maximum absorbancy.

Wash with 1/4-1/3 amount of powder, and no softener...

Jess I'm glad you've bought it up with Joe... At least now it's on the table for discussion. And he's made a nice gesture... Don't know why he wouldn't have asked but I'm sure he'll explain. Let us know how it goes

Laura sorry you're feeling so rough I hope you feel better soon

I also saw one site recommended boiling them for 15 minutes then washing once? I agree that washing 3-5 times does not sound economical, but if they keep leaking, I'm going to have a hard time convincing DH that they're worth continuing to use so I need them good and prepped, you know?

I've read that there are oils in the hemp and unbleached cotton that can make microfibers loose absorbancy... which is why the prepping washes should be done separately.

I did more reading after I posted my first questions to you and the drying after each pre-wash is to get them to fluff up apparently which can help them absorb better, but that obviously applies more to natural fibers.

What if I do a boil or a long soak then 2-3 washes?

 

[SBB]

Hmmm I've never heard of boiling them! I'd be a bit wary of that personally but it's probably fine... It sounds like youve researched it so just do whatever you think - I'd just stick them all in together since that's how they'll go in once you're using them x x x

 

[caz & bob]

girls got me this morning on to my last clomid now fx this month i hope x x x

 

[Onelildream]

So sorry Caz. Send af over here. Sad that I can't even get her back and u don't want her and she shows up like that!! So backwards!

 

[kcw81]

Caz sorry about AF! dangit.

Jess glad you are gonna talk with Joe. Sounds like something my DH would do, offer money or something rather than try to broach a discussion about feelings because its hard for him, and for a lot of guys to talk deeply about stuff. He is trying and that is what counts, he cares. hugs.

 

[SBB]

sorry Caz

[lisaf]

Thanks Suz... I just dont' want to screw this up, lol! I have read from a few sources to prep hemp and unbleached cotton separate so I'm going to do that to maximize my absorbancy.

 

[kcw81]

Sounds confusing Lisa but once u got it down I bet it will be great!

 

[SBB]

Go for it Lisa, although I've never done anything like that and my nappies never leak! So don't stress over it too much

X x x

 

[lisaf]

thanks Suz.. I put a squirt of Dawn soap in the pot with them, boiled for 30 mins, now they're in the wash with the microfiber and cotton

 

[SBB]

Loooooouuuuuu where are you? How is Ben? What did the doctor say?

X x x

 

[lisaf]

what did I miss? Ben is sick?


Oh, and I guess I'm darned lucky my SIL is available.. my daycare lady had emergency surgery last night for a perforated ulcer! She's going to be in the hospital for at least a week, don't know if she'll be up for watching daniel after that or if she'll need another week off! Wow, I was complaining about the stress of having SIL push for watching D but I guess I'm just darned lucky! We still won't be transitioning him full time. I REALLY dont' think she can handle it long-term with her physical problems.

 

[SBB]

Whoa Lisa that is lucky! Hopefully she won't be out for too long...

Ben had a cough and lou was taking him to get his chest checked out...

X x x

 

[lisaf]

oh thats right. I can't believe you guys get to see doctors on the weekend.. we have to go the ER or Urgent care on weekends.

 

[SBB]

Oh no, we don't, she went yesterday x

 

[kcw81]

I hope everything is okay with Ben! Was she just seeing the doc about Ben having a cold or Ben not sleeping or seeing the doc for her own cold?

Lisa have you taken Daniel to petsmart yet? ITs fun to show them all the animals and all the people bring their dogs in there so there is a lot to look at. Jimmy finds it fascinating but not sure if yours would appreciate all the sights yet.

 

[Peach Blossom]

Hey ladies.

Caz, sorry got you. xx for the last round of Clomid. xx

Ukers, have any of you noticed there seems to be a shortage of Ashton and Parsons powder?! I can't get it anywhere!! It's my magical saviour when lili is having a hissy... I'm down to my last 2!

 

[babyloulou]

Evening girls

Sorry I've not been on today- had the parents round all day.

Suz- I didn't take Ben to the doctors - he seemed much better yesterday and is fine today apart from a snotty nose!

Jess- Boots have got the powders online xx

Caz- sorry AF got you I hope this last round is the magic one

Lisa- I've not had leaks with the nappies either so like Suz says I wouldn't worry too much (apart from the other day when I forgot to change him for hours! Bad Mummy!! ) When I've had new nappies or boosters I just stick them in the sink in water overnight then wash them with one extra rinse and they've all been fine x

We have talking sounds here today and yesterday!!! No actual words but lots of "ba"s and "da"s He's also today pulled himself up to sitting from lying down in his ball pool!!
