Stupid CD Q

I've always prepped new diapers by just washing them a bunch of times.  But I've always bought a bunch at a time.  Now I have just one new diaper (a BG 4.0 that came free with purchase).  Can I prep it by washing it with my other dirty diapers?   Or will that somehow deposit something on the old ones?

    I think that should be fine. I did that with the one FB I bought. I got it when Libby was 5 weeks old. She was always too chubby for it to fit right...until now! LOL!

    my understanding is that for synthetics (including BG 4.0's), you can wash just once, with regular diaper laundry.  however, for natural fibers (eg: cotton, hemp), you want to wash multiple times, separately. 

    ...which is annoying, since i have 3 BG elementals I still haven't prepped (well, i washed them once with regular diaper laundry before i realized the above - oops), b/c I can't bring myself to wash 5 loads of just 3 diapers Sad  i'll bite the bullet and do it soon, since i really want to use them, but how much detergent should I put in for just 3 dipes?  we have a HE front-loader - do i need to throw in extra towels or anything for more water?  wouldn't the buildup on the towels (from regular detergent) get onto the dipes?  or am I totally overthinking this?

    Cool, thanks.  The question is actually fairly moot, though, as of the last hour!  I'm addicted to buying CDs all of a sudden and just ordered 5 more, so I can wash them all together.  Actually, I ordered 4 more new FBs, and I'll get another free one, too.  Diaper Junction right now has spend $75 (on anything!) and get one free one-size AIO or Pocket (their choice what, though) free!

    when I emailed Steph at Abby's Lane about it she said I could prep 1 diaper w/the regular load and it wouldn't harm anything.... at the time I was asking about BG organic AIOs so I don't think it matters if you are prepping synthetic or natural fiber diapers....

    I did this and didn't see any issues (same, BG AIO/elemental)  And I actually started using it after 1-2 washes.  Embarrassed.  Maybe the absorbency increased with time but I just never put him in it overnight/extended periods and never had an issue with leaks or skin problems.
