In day two of the great CD experiment, Colin decided to push things to the limit and poop - not once, but twice. I'm following a suggestion that I got that makes sense, but want some more input.
I washed the poopy diapers once on cold. There still is a LOT of stain left, so I was reluctant to put them through a hot wash (didn't want to set the stain). The next suggested step was a hot wash for all diapers (wet and poopy) and then repeat the hot wash for all. I stopped after the cold wash and set my still-poopy diapers aside until I get some advice.
BTW, I love the Crickett's hemp - the elastic is nice and snug, perfect for my string bean. The Prorap classics covers work well for us (so do Bumpy day covers, but they are way too expensive when Proraps are just as good). The Bumkins AIO works well, too. I just received the Fuzzi Bunz (it is in the wash) and the Motherease is on its way. Lukes Drawers are wonderful - so soft and such nice soakers, but just too baggy in the legs for Colin. They didn't even come close to holding in a small bf'ed poop (but the Proraps cover did its job and stopped it in its tracks).
While I am here - I have one other question. When using a fitted + a cover, is it normal for the fitted to be soaked through (to the cover, not through the cover) after only a couple of hours? I don't want to put in more doublers because CDs are bulky enough as is, but was wondering about this. I was going under the assumption that as long as Colin's clothes stayed clean and dry, I was doing okay. But I was kinda wondering about this as it wasn't what I expected (I never thought of Colin as a super-soaker).
Thanks again!!
