Could be, especially since you mentioned he's a little bit rashy at the mo too. You don't always need to strip them, depends on whether you use barrier creams, how much and what detergent you use and what sort of wash you do. Apparently a couple of hot wash cycles with some white vinegar will help rinse out the buildup but isn't stripping as such, stripping usually involves the use of baking soda too.
Course the rash could just be because of the warm weather, and if you have smelly nappies but no leaking problems then it could also be that you're not using enough laundry powder.
Probably naughty of me to link to it but there's a thread on TNN
all about stripping nappies which could be helpful for you to read. The HoneyChild website also has a
Washing Guide which has useful washing info including stripping instructions.
You're using TotsBots eh? I should warn you about this from the
Nappy Days site:

Bicarbonate of soda and any acid (ie. Vinegar) when heated in solution corrodes cotton and bamboo fibres. Whilst a lot of sites etc. recommend using them to sanitise and soften nappies they will drastically shorten their lifespan. |
