[SweetCaroline]

do you mix baby yellow bm poop diapers with toddler brown stinky poop diapers?
i must cofess that im a bleacher :shifty i started adding just a little to baby's dipes when he started to get rashy. then i double rinse..so? but still..those seem like 2 totally different types of poop. what do you all do?

[Barefoot Bookworm]

Yep, it all went in the same wash. Granted, newborn poop did stain.

[trustingGod2]

Always washed together no stains

[Domina]

Little vinegar will fix that right up.

[klpmommy]

I always washed all of mine together.

[SweetCaroline]

you mean vinager for smells ?

For smells, but also for stains. Sumo's in that transition stage where sometimes he's got runny baby poops, sometimes big hard turds, sometimes prune-fueled black grease, etc.

Our formula of cold rinse w/white vinegar, then hot wash w/Charlie's Soap gets rid of stains and smells from all forms of poop. Vinegar has even removed dried-in poop stains from clothes when I was a newbie and didn't know that breastfed newborn poop STAINS!

It works because it's acidic, and the acids actually eat the proteins right out of the diaper.

I line dry diapers as much as possible and the sun is a master stain remover.

i never had bm poop stain. :shrug3

[ThirstyTurtle]

I always washed them together. I don't ever recall having any stains. However, I washed them twice (adding bleach to 2nd wash -- I used prefolds) and did an extra rinse.

[amieids]

Yep, wash them together, always! The breast-milk poo does stain when I can't line dry them, but that doesn't bother me at all.

:yes

[SweetCaroline]

stains im not worried about..i guess (in my mind) brown poop is more bacterial than yellow poop- so, will it funkey up my baby's diapers with big kid poop funk.
i know..im wierd

[Littledisciples]

I wash them all together :yes

[Chaos Coordinator]

line drying also sanitizes dipes :tu

[Dovenoir]

So does the hot dryer if it gets over 160-180 degrees for at least 20 minutes.
