  • I think cloth diapers are much easier & am about to start using them for my 4th. I don't pre rinse or anything throw dirty diapers directly in bin with a lid. I wash every other night in cold water, heavy wash, extra rinse with dye and scent free detergent i prefer something eco friendly but that's a personal choice. then I wash a 2nd time,short wash mostly to make sure all the soap is out and add a splash of vinegar. I use a front loader, uses very little water & they come out fresh and clean.

  • Just wanted to add that a diaper sprayer is very handy once you're past the exclusively breastfed poo stage, and have more solid poo to deal with. Personally, I don't want lots of solid poo going through my washer, and it makes the pail stink. I just hold poopy diapers over the toilet, give them a quick spray with the diaper sprayer that is attached to my toilet, and then throw them in. I rarely use an enzyme spray. Thanks!

  • Im confused? so yur baby gos number 2 in the cloth nappy/diaper and you dont like tip the 2 out? you just put it in the washin machine :/

  • will shout it out work on the diapers as well?

  • Not only are cloth diapers cheaper to start with; not only do you never run out of them so long as you do the wash; but also, the cost should you decide to have a second or a third baby is only the cost of washing since they will usually not wear out very fast. Diapers intended to be passed on to later arrivals are highly cost effective.

  • I was raised on cloth. Mom used pins, baby powder and that blue tin cream for rashes and rubber type plastic diapers. I dont EVER remember a wet or poo bottom. Mom dumped the poo in the toilet and rinsed in hot water and washed the same day. Yep. Stay at home mom and I was her focus. She was not perfect but I wish she could hold my kids if I have any. Just hope I remember her great baby ways!!!

  • the mamanatural video is called cloth diaper setup

  • The enzyme spray is called Bac-Out Stain and Odor Eliminator by the manufacturer Biokleen. i found it online through Amazon.com, sears marketplace, evitaminestore, etc. I haven't had a chance to see if it is sold at stores. This enzyme spray is also mentioned in one of the 3 mamanatural videos about cloth diapering.

  • who can send me some cloth diapers please

  • What is the enzyme spray? This video just left people more confused. What name brands of detergent are diaper safe? I know a bunch of cloth diapering mama's and i have never heard of this mysterious spray you speak of.

  • where do you put the poop?

  • What is the enzyme spray used in this video?
