I have cloth diapered in the past and thought I should pass along the best piece of equipment. You can find a roll (it looks just like a roll of toilet paper) of rice papers. You simply place the rice paper down as a liner over the inside of your diaper. Baby pees right through the paper but poop gets caught on the paper. All you do is just pick up the rice paper and toss into the toilet, totally flushable. These are especially great for messy toddler poop, not as effective with newborn breastfed baby poop. So there's the....POOP! Just thought I would let you know. Feel free to stop on by our blog at fraserfive.blogspot.com.

You don't have to dunk them in the toilet if you don't want to. We just dump the poop off into the toilet and put them in our diaper pail(we have a wahmies pail liner in it) and then dump the whole thing into the washing machine. We run a cold wash and then warm with 2 rinses for each load of diapers. <BR/><BR/>CariAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19666850.post-69981451676119701212008-02-20T07:52:00.000-07:002008-02-20T07:52:00.000-07:00Oohhh...I don't know about cloth diapers.

Each time I had to change a diaper, in the bucket it went. I poured the whole mess into the washer at the end of the day and never had a problem. I did use commercial detergent to wash them, but never bleach. I used Motherease diapers and covers and recommend them highly. I just donated the whole lot of them to AHOPE and I pray that they can get some use of them.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788800985773245111noreply@blogger.com
