CD help please.....
So we are doing cloth for the first time with DD due any day. I bought new fst & used nb size covers to use for the nb stage. For after that I have some is AIO, AI2, pockets, & a mix of microfiber & bamboo & just microfiber inserts that I bought all used. I am VERY allergic to bleach, so I can't strip them that way so what do I do? & do fst need to be washed multiple times before use? I have an energy efficient top loading washing machine with an agitator & will be line drying. Also, is there anything special that I need to do with cloth wipes? I made them all out of fleece & flannel & will be just using water with them. Thank you all so very much in advance!

Thanks so much!!! I greatly appreciate all of the help!!! Now I just have to figure out how to wash them right when they're dirty, lol. Over to fluff love university I go!
Yup wash all together, BUT not the bamboo if it's new (assuming its second hand as well). If so, your fine to wash together but FYI if you buy bamboo or hemp brand new they cannot be washed with diapers until properly prepped.
Stripping is harsh on the diapers regardless of which way you do it so best to avoid unless need be. For your detergent amount, really just have to play with it until you find the right amount for your washer. Some gals use to line 5 of tide, I find they don't rinse clean so only use to line 3 myself
And yes, it's overwhelming and sometimes quite daunting but there are some amazing ladies in this group to help!
Okay, thanks so much ladies. From what the Moms I bought the second hand stuff from said they all had good wash routines, but I thought I was supposed to strip anyway. I'm so new to all of this that sometimes it overwhelms me. So, I just throw all of the one size diapers & inserts in together & wash on a hot cycle? I've already washed everything else. We use free & clear detergent, would I just use 1/4 of the normal amount?
Why would you be stripping? Are they second hand? I would ask their washing routine, and honestly don't strip unless needed. Just wash in a hot cycle, that's what I did. Strip only if a problem, like they didn't have a good wash routine or you find leaks. If you can't use bleach grovia has stripping stuff but I think it's more expensive.
Cloth wipes, nothing special just always wash before using!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

You will want to rinse first, I started with the least amount of detergent in wash cycle and increased as needed. Don't use the short cycle on the wash, use regular cycle!
