Cloth Diapering
Question about when to use flushable liners
I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to cloth diapering. There's so much that goes into it that I can't seem to figure out, so I've been trying to research different aspects to figure it all out. Anyway, I have recently been looking into flushable liners and I think I really like the idea of using them. So easy!! However, after reading many reviews on the products, I'm confused on when you use them. Is it only after you start on solids or do you use them while exclusively breastfeeding as well? I thought you used reusable liners, in general, during both times, so I don't understand why you couldn't do so with the flushables.

Re: Question about when to use flushable liners
A couple thoughts...
1. flushable liners aren't necessarily flushable. Women on this board have posted about washing them and they are still intact. Yikes! My stepdad is a plumber and he has unclogged many toilets because of someone flushing similar products.
2. We used flushable liners while visiting my family for Thanksgiving. That was the only time, as we use a diaper sprayer for poops normally. The liners bunched up and it was a toss up whether or not the poop would land on the liner. Maybe we were using them wrong but they didn't seem like a real time saver to me. Yes, its easy to throw the poop out but not if the liner bunches up.
3. I guess you could use liners for BF poop. I don't have any experience with this as we just recently used them and she is FF and on solids.If you aren't afraid to get a little poop on your hands every now and then, I would rec. a diaper sprayer. Honestly, its easy than the liners. Liners have their purpose, certainly, but I find I don't need them.
HTH!
Before you start solids, you can just wash the poop. It's water soluble. It goes away like magic.
After you start solids, you can use liners (and just garbage them if you don't want to risk the plumbing). I haven't had great luck with them being where I need them when I need them. Poos during this start-up period with solids are really gross.
Not something you need to buy while pregnant. Grab some when you start solids, if you want.

All of this. We don't have issues with them bunching, but I have washed them like a PP mentioned (accidentally, just forogt to toss it) and they were still in tact! So I just throw them away. We use them right now because DS's poo is at the awkward just started solids stage where it won't plop into the toilet but doesn't spray off either. TMI: it is like thick peanut butter...gross. The liners are the only thing that really help keep it off the diapers, scraping doesn't even work that well for me.
