Cloth Diapering

Sprayer necessary?

Is a sprayer attachment really necessary for cleaning cloth diapers? My SIL has one and says she sprays the poo off of the diaper into the toilet before placing in the wetbag.  She uses pocket diapers.  But I thought I've read that you don't need to spray it off when its BF baby poo?  Or maybe you should just wipe it off with a disposable wipe?

  • I didn't have one with my first and just did the swish and flush in the toilet, but I got one this time. While it is not necessary, it is nice. I love mine. BF poo is still soft for newborns ... or at least us with my newborns. I think my sprayer is my f

  • Definitely not a necessity. We don't have one. Her poops are 50/50 ploppable at this point though. If they aren't then we just swish and they generally come right off.

    Oh and breast milk and formula poops don't need to be rinsed off. Once yo

  • It's not necessary but it is convenient for me.  I really like it because I did not like dunking and swishing.  We just started using it because we just recently started solids.

  • I don't have one. The dunk and swish isn't inconvenient for me in the least.
  • I love our sprayer but I wouldn't say it is necessary.  I didn't like the idea of not spraying the feces off before washing.

  • It's certainly not necessary with just BF poop. However, when we started solids, I found out that I HATED dunk & swish, and the sprayer definitely became necessary at that point in time. I'd wait to buy one until you decide you need one.

  • It's not necessary but I love mine. It can also be used to spray other things like rinsing out a potty during potty training.

  • I love our sprayer!

    I couldn't use it for a few days - which, as my luck would have it, coincided with LO having about a billion nasty runny poop dipes (suspect a tummy bug) - and let me tell you, dunking and swishing those diapers was NO fun at

  • My immediate response to the title...  YES!!  At least after 6 months and solids start.  I wouldn't want to deal with these poops now without a sprayer.
