Yeast!

Okay....my 20 month old pooped in her diaper prob right after I changed her.  I changed her again before bed and her whole bottom was red and I attributed it to her bring in a poopy diaper too long.  I never smelled a thing! (  I treated her with lavender/coconut oil and put a disposable on her last night.  The general redness was gone this morning but she has dark blood red blotches now and it looks just like the yeast she had maybe 5 months ago.....  I also have a newborn in cloth and I don't want her to get it.  What do I need to do to my diapers to get them clean??  We have all kinds....BG 4.0, BG Freetime, Fuzzibunz, DiaperRite, and the newborn mostly wears Grovia Hybrids.  I am putting the newborn in a sposie too as soon as she wakes up.....

The only thing that kills yeas is bleach, also a lot of people use tea tree oil and grapefruit oil too. And make sure the tempeture of he water is really hot.

I've heard people say not to bleach cloth diapers??  How do I go about bleaching?  I have a relatively new LG front loading washer.  When I open the tray, it has two sections.  Detergent on the left and the right is labeled "pre wash".  Soooo I honestly don't even know how to add bleach to this machine bc I've never done it!

Mine has a bleach slot.  I just put 1/4 cup of bleach into the bleach slot.  Google the owner's manual, it'll tell you how to add the bleach.

We are having a yeast problem right now. I'm just about to go start the washing. I got the bleach stuff recommended in that link. Fingers crossed it works!
