WWhen must I stop putting pooey nappies straight in the machine?

DD (3 months) is EBF, but her poos are getting ever bigger and slightly more formed IYSWIM.

I share a machine with PIL and live in fear of causing some catastrophic poo-related washing machine fault, possibly leading to some sort of poo-water tsunami.

Am ok to keep merrily flinging them in until she starts solids, or am I already in danger of fatally faecally destroying the machine?

DD is 5 months and EBF. I still just bung them in and so far they've come out fine. I do prewash them though in the machine, just for the extra rinse.

Thank you - I feel slightly reassured

I do prewash -> main wash -> extra rinse

I only started when weaning was under way. Even then depended on the quality of the poo if you see what I mean.

Interested in this thread?

As a general rule if what goes in is liquid then what comes out is solidified liquid! If what goes in is solid then what somes out is solid! Liquid won't harm your machine but solids may, flushables liners are a good ide one the baby has been weaned :)

Not tried it myself but MiL used to sluce poohy nappies by holding them tightly in the under the flush in the loo. Then they went straight in the washing machine.

Mind you, she says she let go on one once and had a terrible feat that it would block the drain for the whole street and cause un-told pooh-related trouble.

She didn't, of course.

I used to worry about this. I worried and wondered until one day I just KNEW I would prefer to flush rather than wash a poo. My DS is 3 months and I am nowhere near needing to flush his poo.
