We've recently been using cloth nappies, building up to using them full time. I'm using a mixture of Motherease Sandys, Tots Bots Bamboozle Stretchies, and Bambino Miosolos.
I had previously thought myself quite lucky that my 9 week old doesn't poo very often (we're talking two or three times a week). However, this does pose a bit of an issue as when she does go, there's bloody loads of it. I'd seen on another thread someone had suggested that poo would mostly be absorbed into the nappy - no chance with this kid! It means when she's wearing cloth I've no choice but to rinse it out, even though she's breastfed and obviously at this age her poo is just liquid.
My question is this: what would you do with the nappy once it's been rinsed? Once I've rinsed it it's absolutely drenched through. Up to now I've been putting them straight in the wash as there have been other nappies to put in too, but the one she's just done is the only one. I've put it in the washing machine to rinse and think I'll then just stick it in the bucket, but it doesn't feel very green to do that!
Any advice appreciated
I'd still rather deal with cloth than disposable as they hold poo much better (we had our first ever leak - out the leg of a Miosolo - today, whereas she blasts straight out of a disposable). I'd just like to find a more efficient way of dealing with things!
