liners for newborn poo

10 replies

molejazz · 16/04/2012 03:58

I didn't used cloth nappies for DS until weaning, when the poo got more solid. I was just wondering if it's worth using liners in an AIO nappy - I use papery ones and imagine the newborn poo would just sort of soak through?

I've been using fleece liners - mainly to fend off some of the stains rather than any other reason.

I use Tesco liners and they do a great job of catching ebf baby poo. The liquid still soaks through to stain the nappy (which washes out) but most of the poo itself is caught by the liner.

i never bothered with liners

not DD is 6m i use a fleece liner on my non fleece nappies, and no liners on the fleece ones...

newborn poo just washes out

i put the machine on a rinse setting first, then a decent wash and they are clean as a whistle

Same question! Have no idea on liners...

We didn't bother with liners for first few weeks. But now dd (8wk) is on gaviscon n her pops more solid so the liners doin a good job of catching it

it does leak through.

we use paper liners, most of the icky gets caught, but it does leak through.

however - we ran out of liners and tried without for a little while, and oh my god! the mess!!

I never used liners in DDs nappies when she was being EBF. Nor did I indulge in any poo scraping. Straight in bucket, then in wash with a prerinse and extra long cycle with extra rinsing. Worked fine and I don't think the machine is full of poo

I don't use liners for breastmilk poo. It just washes out. I start to use liners when weaning onto solids.

nickelhasababy · 07/05/2012 16:52

see, I've found it doesn't wash out as well without the liners.

when we use the liner, most of the mess goes straight into the bin/compost.
then there's a little bit of colouring on the nappy itself.
when we didn't use the liners, the nappies were covered in poo, and they didn't wash out first time.
(we use a normal 60degree wash without a pre-wash and it wasn't enough when there was no liner)

I don't want to do an extra-long wash with pre-rinse and extra rinsing - I did cloth nappies to save the environment!
