Moms who cloth diaper...is a diaper sprayer necessary ? If you don't use one how do you clean poo off the diapers ?

I don't use them, yet. but I would assume using a wipe/toilet paper to move the poop off the diaper to the toilet would work okay. Might be a little trickier with runny poops.

@californiahaley, should be able to help you with this. she's a pro

@mommapint, true but I'm not sure that TP would be sufficient enough @firstbaby_girl truuuue !

With exclusively breastfed poop you can just toss in te washer. With formula or solids you don't need a sprayer you can just wipe with a wipe but it's hard to get really clean. I don't have good enough pressure in house for my sprayer anymore so I was wiping and they didn't get clean enough and I started to get stains for the first time so I bought a 5 gallon bucket an a hose attachment ad spray them outside now. No more stains.

how come when I just get barley any poo on an outfit it stains?? he's just breastfed maybe I'm asking a dumb question lol @californiahaley

@californiahaley, thanks ☺️ she's now getting solids (switching to cloth at almost 5 months now) I'm probably going to get a sprayer just in case then because I don't want stains @alicia3_21 hmm that's weird because Pai has had a good handful of explosions and we've never gotten stains but I always rinse immediately and sometimes use dawn if it looks like it's gunna stain

well I've started using spray and wash and it gets rid of it. maybe my Babys got extra strong poop :) lol or I've got a crappy washer I dunno

@alicia3_21, our washer is crappy so I a always rinse realllll good plus dawn if it's really bad...do you wash in cold water? Hot usually causes worse stains so we prewash in cold then a second wash with warm or hot

I think I use warm

Our baby is exclusively breastfed and we use a sprayer. We live in an apartment and we only have access to community washer and dryer. The sprayer and spraypal work wonders for us.

@numommie, thanks for the info ☺️ we have our own washer and dryer but I'm weary on just tossing poo diapers right in the washer because ours isn't the best machine...definitely getting a sprayer

@alicia3_21, clothes are different then what diapers are made out of. And some people get poop stains on EBF poop no matter what I personally never did. Could be the difference in people's milk or the way the baby digests it idk the science behind it i never got stains but a friend of mine did with EBF poop

sometimes a lot his poop is green that may be it ! @californiahaley
