I change logans about every 3 hours or so.. unless he needs it before hand... or i add an extra booster if i know im going out for a bit longer and need to stretch the nappy

I dont soak my nappies i just put them in the bucket as they are and wash every 2/3 days. I dont get any stains.. i use surf small and mighty ( 1/2 capful) and wash on a 60 hope this helps?

We change Emma every 2-3 hours unless we are out too. For staining, just put the nappies out in the sun and the stains should come out. I was skeptical until I tried it- it really does work!

i change my LO every few hours - as often as i used to change his sposies. i rinse off poo nappies if they need it. i don't soak them at all and I haven't had any stains yet...except for my popolini...but i think it is just the most rubbish nappy ever!!

As the others said, a bit of sun does wonders for stains! I don't bother soaking either; just lift the poo off (I do like weaned babies!), but I remember how much of a pain it was with just milk fed poos.

I change Bethan anywhere from 2-4 hours, depending on whether she whinges on or not. If she isn't bothered, then I don't change her. Sometimes a mildly damp nappy bothers her, but other times, she can be absolutly sopping, and she doesn't mind! So I just roll with her punches, to be honest.
