收到布尿布囉～

總共是：
三件pocket diaper
兩件尿布兜 + 一打chinese prefold（紗布尿布墊）

因為要先洗過，三洗三烘
讓尿布先縮過水，也把布上面的油脂等等都洗掉
才能開始用
而且洗過三次可以增加尿布吸水力

希望下星期的白天可以開始讓彤彤穿布尿布
這樣應該對尿尿會比較有感覺......

尿布洗法：一、用投幣式洗烘衣機

No Soak Method

If you prefer not to soak your diapers or if you only have access to a coin operated machine follow this method:
Cold Wash. Place all your soiled cloth diapers in the machine with baking soda for a cold water wash.
Hot Wash. Add your wet cloth diapers to load, add detergent and baking soda and wash in hot water.
Rinse. Rinse cloth diapers with cold water and vinegar（pocket diaper 跟尿布兜不要用醋洗，會影響吸水）.
2nd Rinse. Rinse cloth diapers with cold water.

Deep Cleaning Instructions

Washing is Easy

Cold water rinse, no detergent (always set water level to highest setting).
Hot water wash cycle, add detergent (use about 1/2 the amount of detergent you would usually use) and occasionally add 1/2 cup vinegar to help adjust for pH levels (only if you are solely washing prefold diapers - if you use vinegar with diaper covers and/or AIO vinegar can damage the waterproofing).
Hot water second rinse adding 3 drops of Lavender Essential Oil (this is a natural antiseptic).
Dry in dryer (add a dry towel to lessen drying time) or sun dry to get them extra white.
YOU'RE DONE!

Tips

Today's washing machines take care of most of the work and get the cloth diapers clean with ease.
· There is no "right way" to wash, you have to experiment and do what works for you.

· Keep a dry cloth diaper pail (wet pails require soaking diapers and can be messy and unsanitary)

· Dump any solids into the toilet if possible - no dunking required (breastfed newborn cloth diapers can go directly into diaper pail)

· Turn diaper covers inside out and re-fasten Velcro before washing (depending on brand of diaper wrap - may need to be washed separately from cloth diapers and only hang dry). Prorap diaper covers and Bummis Super Whisper Wrap and Super Snap wraps can be washed and dried with cloth diapers!

· Wash every 2-3 days.

· Use a laundry detergent that is free of perfumes and dyes to avoid irritation to baby's skin (Recommendation: Arm & Hammer Sensitive Skin)

· DO NOT use Dreft or Fabric Softeners - they will coat cloth diapers and decrease absorbency

· Sunlight gets stains out and sterilizes cloth diapers (Do this periodically when time and weather allow)

· Wash and dry new cloth diapers 2-3 times before use. This will "fluff" the new cloth diapers and increase their absorbency. Chinese prefold diapers will shrink about 10% with first wash and will become softer and more quilted.

Deep Cleaning

Deep clean cloth diapers every 2-3 months to get diapers extra clean.

Cold water rinse, no detergent (always set water level to highest setting).
Fill washing machine with hot water.
Add a bleach alternative (ex. Oxi Clean) and detergent (use about 1/2 the amount of detergent you would usually use).
Soak diapers for 2-3 hours.
Do at least 2 hot water rinses adding 3 drops of Lavender Essential Oil to the last rinse (this is a natural antiseptic)
Dry in dryer (add a dry towel to lessen drying time) or sun dry to get them extra white
