The meconium does wash out, and you could use a disposable liner y=until it's cleared, which makes it easier to deal with.
A 2 part system is the best for dealing with BF poosplosions - it's much more effect than pocket or all in one nappies. I've found that 50cm bamboo terry squares are by far the best nappies for the first few months. Folding them isn't rocket science, and only takes a couple of minutes practise to have it cracked. Here's a video
The other great things abut terry squares is that they wash superbly, dry quickly and will always fit well. If you get 50 cm ones, they won't fit as nappies much past 6 months, but after that you can use the as boosters and inserts, as we'll of loads of other uses, so they are never wasted. And they are STILL the most efficient nappies on the market. You don't need to soak or in any more though - just wash like any other nappies.

Newborn poo and breastfed only poo both wash out of nappies fine, just stick them straight in the wash! In my experience, if there were still stains after one wash, they were gone after another wash or two.
For things that do stain, I've read that lemon juice is a natural stain remover for pre-treating laundry.

Are you having a hospital birth? They provide diapers while there. Most of the meconium was out before we went home. We did get some newborn disposables for the first couple days but we switched to NB fitteds and prefolds pretty quickly.
