When did you start using a diaper sprayer?

DS is approaching 7 months and we just started him on some solids. (So far he's only had avocado and earth's best oatmeal cereal) - I'm already noticing a change in his poops. When is it necessary to start rinsing them off? And...after you spray, do you ring them out, or just throw them in the wetbag soaking wet?

I started as soon as we first put solid food in front of him (BLWing).  I figured, why not just start then?  Plus, he was taking bites pretty early on, and I could see the chunks of food in there from the get go.

I generally wring them out a bit before putting in the wet bag.  Not a lot, but just to get the bulk of the water out...like, just enough so it's not dripping from the toilet to the potty seat/bucket I put it in to carry to the wet bag.

I started when DS was a newborn, then we moved into a rental home where the diaper sprayer didn't work with the toilets and for some reason we didn't consider changing the hoses, so we took a year break from diaper spraying and then started again when we moved again. I never wrung them out after spraying.

I leave them wet.  It seems to cut down on the smell for me.  It could be my imagination but it seems to work.

I started right when we started giving DD solids.  I figured I might as well get used to it, even though it took a little bit of time for her poop to show a difference.  Unless I've really had to saturate the diaper with the sprayer for a very messy poop (and I will wring out a bit of the water), I just put the CD into the pail wet.
