morning girls! Hope your weekend is going good.
Just a question re nappies in a dry bucket. Do you just throw the nappies straight from bot to bucket or do you rinse them out first (this is for No1's). I have been giving them a quick rinse under the tap and then hand-wringing them before I pop them into the bucket but was wondering if I need to be doing this. Also that then means they are pretty wet for a day or so before the wash so was thinking this may not be that good for the nappies...I am doing this with all my nappies, AIO's, pockets and prefolds  ------------- http://tickers.families.com">

I also don't rinse mine (also too lazy) I just wrap them tightly on themselves with the velcro to try and stop the smell escaping
I put a bit of tea tree oil in the bucket as well. -------------

I only rinse the no. 2s but generally if I get a pooey nappy they all go straight in the wash (only happens once every few days) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Number 1's nope. Number 2's I rince them off and usually rince them in the machine as well. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
