Meconium?

Postby BingBongBoo » Fri Aug 19, 2011 9:39 pm

I plan to use cloth on this LO from birth. I know that pooy BF nappies can just be put straight in the machine, but what about meconium? Will I need to rise this out before putting in the wash?

I didn't use cloth from birth last time because of the meconium, but this time I will and just plan to use cellulose liners instead which will be flushed away.

I didn't bother doing anything special with meconium nappies because I didn't know I was supposed to...
certainly didn't cause any problems. I don't understand why people start cloth nappies post meconium? <shrug>

my wash routine is dry pail, cold rinse, 60degree with detergent and sometimes extra rinse

We didn't rinse our meconium nappies. They washed out fine, I was surprised!
We have't had a problem with BF poop stains either :wink:
