Rebekah- the reusable diapers have peaked my interest too, but how do you wash them? Ok, so say its a poop blow out...do you have to put poop into your washing machine or is there a better way at doing it? It is probably obvious, but I am just wondering if I am not thinking of something......
What else have people bought? I would love to see pictures to get ideas for what I need! I have only bought a boppy and some boy clothes so not much!~
There are several methods that are used. You can A) go with a diaper service who will pick up the dirty diapers and wash them FOR YOU. You get a bag that's supposed to be resistant to smells and/or given a specific item that will get rid of the smells.
Many people launder at home though. I'm told that if your breastfeeding that the poo is pretty easy to rid of. You basically take it and put it in the toilet...then you add the soiled diaper in a bucket or pain with a lid on it until your ready to wash. I'm told that much of the diaper stains will come out whilst drying in the sun upon washing.
If your out and about, many purchase "wet bags" where you can add the dirty diapers into the wetbag which will keep the soiled diapers from tampering with your clean diapers.
We plan to add a diaper sprayer next to the toilet which is hooked to the toilet plumbing and makes it that much easier to get the poo off the dirty diaper. You spray it with the sprayer and it drops right in. Then you add the dirty diaper to the bucket or pain until your ready to wash.
While the initial expense of cloth diapers can be pricey, if you add the cost of disposeables you'll find you SAVE money.
The downside to cloth diapering however is that if you plan to put your infant in daycare, most daycare centers don't permit cloth diapering and will only allow sposies because it's easier for them to discard and not have to handle the poo and contaminate from child to child by changing babies with clothes where they'd have to otherwise deal with disposal of poo.
Here's a link to BumGenius Diaper Sprayer to give you an idea of what it is.
You can also find out a wealth of information on Cloth diapering at the Diaper Pin You'll find diaper reviews, sales on used clean diapers, a forum to ask questions and find out information for newbies who are interested in Cloth Diapering.
Hope that helps!!
Ps, Littlestars...you must have the cloth that have the disposable inserts in them?? The kind you can throw away in the toilet?
There are liners for cloth for the added strength and a thicker cloth liner for overnight protection, but you don't throw the whole thing in the toilet though.
My scan is on Friday and I'm hoping our baby cooperates. I'm SO excited!!
It'll either be Amelia Carolynn OR Lincoln Douglas
