Cloth Diapering

So, are my prefolds going to be permanently stained?

I was reading the unbelievably long booklet that came with my GMD prefolds last night and it lead me to believe that staining is pretty normal.

Of course with breastfeeding, her clothes are constantly getting stained with the bright yellow poop - it didn't even occur to me that this will stain my diapers for good.

Is this the case? I use Oxi-clean on the clothes but would assume that's a no-no for the diapers.

  • Lay them out in the sun for a few hours. Works wonders on stains.

  • I believe only 1 of mine ever stained and I didn't sun them.  I think you can use oxyclean on your cloth, but wouldn't use it very often.  I have used chlorine bleach on my prefolds and used lots of extra rinses.

  • I had a few stains, but they came out after a few washings.

  • Whenever we had a stain, it also came out in a few washings...no sunning or change in detergent/wash routine.

  • 1) Stains are normal...it's poop. :) They do not effect the diaper or your baby.

    2) Ditto to sunning the dipes. I sun my GMDs occationally (not all the time...stains don't really bother me) and about an hour gets the stains right out. It's so cool.
