Load not large enough

thoughtfulmommy

I have a small newborn stash and wash every day. I don't have enough for a load and I always have clothes laundry to be done, so can I do them together.

I am hoping I can out the diapers in for a cold rinse. Then throw in dirty onsies, sleepers, etc for a warm wash with extra rinse and dry as normal.

Any issues with this plan??

The only issue I see is that dipes really should be washed on hot, not warm. I only use warm for my prewash/rinse since it's better at getting the gunk out. However, towels are totally a good thing to wash dipes with. Anything that can be washed on hot.

Okay that makes sense. So my receiving blankets and baby wash cloths and towels would work.

Is there a reason you wash everyday? Could you do EOD to get a larger load? Or is it d/t the size of your stash that you wash daily?

Yup!

I wash everyday because I only have so many newborn that if this skinny legs. Once he chunks up I will have more diapers that fit.

My diapers actually recommend washing on warm.
