On this first post I'm just going to give you a run down of my routine:
So you put a clean diaper on your baby just like you would a disposable little one will wear it until he poops or no longer than two hours with just pee.
When it's time to change LO I take the diaper off shake any poops into the potty. Then stick the dirty diaper into my diaper pail.
Sometimes if the poops kinda of loose I will have to hose it in the sink. The only added thing with that is I will disinfect the sink when I'm done. Then about every two days I take my whole diaper pail and dump everything straight into the washing machine.
You pre-rinse in cold, wash hot water with a cloth diaper safe detergent. (There are many on the market, but the one most recommended in the cloth diapering community is Rocking Green) Lastly you need to do one more cold rinse to get any residue left. Cloth diapering has taught me a lot about my washing machine. lol!! I line dry my diapes because I love to line dry everything except my towels (makes them too crunchy) and living in California I have more days where the weather is perfect for this then not.
And that's it!!! Clean diapes ready to go onto babys butt once again.
I cloth diapered both of my kids and loved it! We saved so much money and late night trips to the store and it was easy to do. The thirsties duo wraps were the best thing since sliced bread and the snappi fastener..omg! My grandmas all really loved seeing the newest in cloth diapering and since my mama cloth diapered me, she was a big help in talking me into it and teaching me how to clean the poo rags! :P
