re: Cloth Diapers Rock, Bitches! Vol. 4

Quoting Moses.:" Regular detergent and softener can clog up the machine. Id strip your machine once a month."

How do i do that?  

Quoting Moses.:" Ooohhh, I LOVE Squishy's xl os's. They fit soooo nice. "

After CDing last time & seeing the quality of Sabrinas squishies compared to the 'big brands' here i couldnt choose any other brands for our work horses lol!

Her quality is amazingggg!

Im so excited  .. if i wasnt expecting baby #2 when LO outgrew his OS alvas i'd have been able to afford a stash back then, but we had to buy nursery furniture etc & went back to sposies.. booo!

They suck lol!

I always wash on hot and dry on hot (my dryer has hot or barely any heat, lol). Never had delamination issues. Constant high heat drying will cause it to wear out faster though.

Rectangle.

My oldest is the same age. He's 23 lb and at least 36 in.

Me too!!! I love pregnancy and babies.

I wanna cloth a newb  

Quoting Ecstasy:" How do i do that?  "

Just like you would diapers. The stripping method in the OP with tto, baking soda and vinegar is perfect. Just do the machine, with nothing

Do you know your water temp?  

I'd love to wash on hot but am scared i'll wreck our CD's.

I'll settle for warm if i have to, i just feel like cold didn't get them clean last time.

Thanks so much!

I think im going to do that & will switch to a CD friendly detergent for our clothes as well.

I cant be bothered strip washing our machine all the time.

Yeah, after good money spent time and time again, the only still operating WAHM I'll order from is Squishy. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her fitteds, and they are hands down the best fitted I have tried so far.

Quoting Brink:" I wanna cloth a newb  "

ME TOO. How are you feeling?

How do I go about prepping? All pockets.. (some new, some used)
And what is a good regular wash routine for them? I have no idea how to go about this stuff..  

Quoting FaithLovesPussyCats:" You are the odd one out, haha"

Im scared of anything other then pockets lol!  

I might look into fitteds as our boys night time nappies if the pockets dont hold up well
