If you have 2 in cloth

How often do you wash?

We currently wash EOD, but I'm thinking that when #2 arrives that would be too much for one load.

    We wash every other day, unless we have an unusually pooperific day and go through more covers than normal.

    Were you able to wash EOD in the beginning when they were going more often?

    I tried washing every other day but the diapers just don't get clean enough when there are so many in the washer.  DD1 still poops a lot, and even though she STTNs, she still goes through 7-9 diapers a day.  DD2 goes through 12-15 diapers a day.  So I really need to wash every 24 hours.  Thankfully I don't mind doing laundry ... but this means I have no justification for a stash so large!

    The girls were roughly 6 weeks old before we had both in CD full time due to one of them being in a harness for hip dysplasia that didn't allow for the bulk of CD's. So by 6 weeks, we were able to go EOD. We've never had an issue with our washer getting full before the 2 day point, but we also have a HE front loader.

    this is so us. I was set on doing it EOD, but they werent getting rinsed enough. I have to do it everyday really, its not bad, but kinda annoying.

    I wash EOD. It works for me. We have 3 in diapers and it works great for me. No stinkies. The only thing is that when I send the diapers to the sitter, that she would rinse off the really PB poopy ones instead of leaving most of it on the diaper. We have a few that are stained and I just need to sun them to get it out! (We use RnG detergent) I do a cold rinse, hot wash with an extra rinse. Occasionally use vinegar in the first rinse.
