How do you pre-wash new nappies?

I have 5 BN dunk and fluff and 5 OWW brand new nappies for bump. I want to pre-wash them a few times to up the absorbancy.
What temp do i wash at, does it have to be a 'proper' wash? Do i use wash powder? Also when it is out the wash do i need to dry before washing again? Also how many pre washes would you reccomend for BV?

Ok i am done asking questions, can you tell i have never had brand new nappies ever??

I just bung them in with a nappy wash. Never really though about it before tbh!
I only actually do that once though then I boost until up to full absorbancy.

I don't Just put them straight on and either boost or change more often the first few times.

Just wash them like you would any other nappy wash You can put them in with your others

I *think* bamboo takes 3-4 washes to get to proper absorbancy, but i just did my wee nappies once before they went in the hopsital bag.

Its more like 8-10 for bamboo I think, 3-4 is for cotton.

Ah maybe i shouldn't bother then. I bet it will reduce the value too because i think i might sell the dunk and fluff's not sure yet. I can't stick them in with a normal nappy load, there is 20 nappies + in each load and that's every other day. She pee's way too much!

I add them to a nappy wash. I do tend to pre-wash new nappies purely to get rid of any manufacturing residue, I don't know where the fabric has been, then it's been handled while being sewn etc.

I dont bother pre washing - im also thinking with a NB hes going to changed so regualry it wont be a problem
