is there an advantage to soaking nappies? we store them dry but they are getting quite stained (although we are back to using liners now eli's poop isn't just bf poop) - or is it just messy? i can only imagine trying to fish nappies out of water

Most modern nappies (PUL) don't need soaking, and it can actually damage them

Have you tried bicarbonate of soda in the wash to help with stains?

not yet, im going to, i need to do a big strip wash and do the outers/inners seperately so will chuck some in then (just waiting til they are alllllll dirty cos im too mean to do it twice )

I always wash the inners and outers seperately, is that the wrong way to do it???

probably not - depends on the kind of nappy though? i have bumgenius and we seperate them (take the inners out) and put the whole lot on a hot wash - sometimes i re-wash the boosters/inners if they need it, but the outers on the bg can be washed at quite a high temp compared to some other ones (i think! haha)

theres no real right/wrong way - but there is no reason to do them seperatly, I have always done mine together on a 50 and they are fine

Oooh right!! Saves me dabbling my hands into pissy nappies then

eww its horrible isnt it! Still have to fish the innerds out out pockets though - thats the bit I hate!

i have mastered the art of scooping poops and fishing out inners with my hand in a bag

There is so many advantages of nappies. Nowadays nappies are very much famous to use for new born babies which should be organic as well as skin friendly.
