We are dealing with poopy underwear right now too as I am in the midst of potty training -- luckily, I can just throw in his undies with #2's cloth diapers! <br /><br />Newborn breastmilk poop is completely water soluble and doesn't need to be removed at all before washing diapers. To deal with poop in older kids, I used liners, which are kind of like dryer sheets you put on top of the cloth diaper (closest to baby's skin). If the baby only pees, you can throw the liner in with the diapers, wash it and use it again. If the baby poops, you just throw the liner and poop in the toilet, and the diaper in the wash. <br /><br />Other folks use a "diaper shower," which uses water from your toilet, to spray off the poop into the toilet. When washing diapers, most everyone does a cold rinse of the diapers before washing with detergent and that gets most of the poopy remnants off too.Betsy Escandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598482569526345086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-75085419227264441382010-05-01T19:39:56.574-07:002010-05-01T19:39:56.574-07:00I've considered using cloth diapers, but not s...I've considered using cloth diapers, but not sure I can handle cleaning #2. In fact, when potty training Sophie, when she had icky accidents, I sometimes just threw the underwear away so I didn't puke trying to clean it. How do you handle the poo diaps?Nisha https://www.blogger.com/profile/14177523450388267730noreply@blogger.com
