[blparent] another cloth diaper question

[Michael Baldwin]

If your wife is going to breast feed, no need to even rinse them off.
Breast fed baby poop is water soluble, so you can just toss it in the pale,
and it comes out in the wash.
 
When they start eating different foods, just shake the poop in to the
toilet, and toss it in the pale.  If your not comfortable just doing that,
use an old spatchula for scraping it in the toilet.  There is not really a
need to rinse with water.
We wash every 2 days, and do not have a smelly pale.  We use a dry pale so
there diapers are not sitting in water.  
I would recommend you use something like Charlie's soap for washing the
diapers in.  There are no perfumes, dyes, etc... To bother the babies butt.
You can get a lot of cloth diapering info at

Also check out cloth diaper webstores, they usually have FAQs on taking care
of cloth diapers.

Subject: [blparent] another cloth diaper question

Hello.

I have another question for those of you who use cloth diapers.

We've decided that this is the way we're going to go and my question is a
bit graphic so hopefully that's okay.

I've heard that people use these sprayers to clean off the diapers in the
toilet and Cindy is concerned that this might be a bit problematic since
first the toilet is a pretty small space anyway and admittedly my spraying
aim probably isn't the best so she's concerned that if I did this it might
create more of a mess in some instances so I was wondering is there a way to
accomplish this without the potential of creating a worse problem?

We saw these flushable layovers that you can just dump off the diaper into
the toilet and then the problem should be resolved but I want to try to do
things that will minimize her role in having to clean up after any of that
kind of thing where possible.

This will be my first baby to raise so I'm with no experience at all. lol.

Thanks for the info and help.

Scott
