But I do a load of laundry every day between the six of is anyway... I just got cite little pink ones though... Can't wait. There is a spray... Biokleen bac out that helps so much with the smells and keeps bacteria from growing if you go more than a day without washing... It smells so good too. Our favorite laundry detergent for cloth diapering is rockin something... The watermelon scent.

So that's what those other inserts are for! I wish I would have known that when I ordered. I guess I could exchange them... I bought one hemp just for the heck of it but didn't know its purpose so I guess I will put that one in by itself. Maybe he'd be ok with just one microfiber since we change him so much,, what do you think? I have you to thank for finding these diapers so thank you!! :)dan[and]rachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06738562779897751685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203021101020962935.post-84290347535664858552012-01-21T07:31:06.340-08:002012-01-21T07:31:06.340-08:00Woo!

He still just has has liquid poop that sticks to the diaper so there is nothing to dump, but I would assume you would dump it before or it would be gross in there! I could take the diapers apart each time, I just choose to do it all at once. Last time I put on our cleaning gloves and that way I was able to do it fast and didn't have to be all careful. I am going to use that recipe I put in the blog post but last time I went to the store they didn't have what I needed so I'm still using normal detergent, only a couple drops. But I don't like to use it because it made them smell because I used too much. You should do it next time! It's great. :)dan[and]rachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06738562779897751685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203021101020962935.post-64151167619295111812012-01-20T23:06:29.442-08:002012-01-20T23:06:29.442-08:00Hey Rachael!

I hope you don't mind but I was just going to mention a couple things to answer some of the questions i see on here :) (I get SOOOOO excited to talk cd's!) <br><br>Exclussively breastfed baby diapers can go straight into the wash... the poop just washes out... once you start solids or formula you have to do some dumping in the toilet... you can use disposable liners for that if you want, or put a cloth wipe as one and just shake that off by itself.<br><br>also, as long as you're washing every other day or 2-3 days there really isn't a smell... but when you wait a bit longer (especially as they get older) it does seem to smell if you wait too long. We wash on wednesdays and sundays... it's just how it works out in our laundry schedule...so with the rinses and such it comes out to like 4-6 wash cycles per week... not much water at all... <br><br>also Rachael, there are some different inserts you can get that are slimmer. JSB carries bamboo and hemp... and they're more absorbent than the microfiber. and we just now started stuffing with 2 for day time (we always used 2 for night time) and then they don't seem so awkward on the little bums :)<br><br><br>OH and some serious prints! we have 2 jean prints (a-DOR-able!) spiderman, and one of my favorites is the white minky with blue circles all over it... so awesomely sweet! <br><br>thanks for sharing so many cute pictures of that beautiful baby!holley familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14465649540470379839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203021101020962935.post-87879271807168177872012-01-20T15:21:13.072-08:002012-01-20T15:21:13.072-08:00That's pretty awesome.

You just start by putting them on the potty to get them used to it. And they can be potty trained by 18 months! Just started Jovie on it and she already goes pee in the potty every time I put her on it. Diaper Free Before 3 is the book I learned it from.

To save from the tedious unsnapping before laundry can you take the diapers apart when you go to out them in the wet bag so you just have to dump it in the wash? Do you use a certain detergent?

The only time they ...I have noticed a smell at all. The only time they smelled was when I used too much detergent and I guess it gets built up on the diapers, but I did this rinse thing and it fixed it. Since my baby is eating strictly breastmilk, his poop really doesn't smell very much. And it's so liquidy I guess it just goes out of the washer where the water goes. Just picture mud or anything you would wash. I don't know the details about it but I guess it's okay. :) And thank you for that link to Katie Jensen's blog... that helped me a lot!dan[and]rachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06738562779897751685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203021101020962935.post-47122129323554908172012-01-20T10:26:45.874-08:002012-01-20T10:26:45.874-08:00Oh, I'll have to thank her!!
