3rd ammonia ? of the day, sorry

When I got LK up this morning and changed her diaper, it stank of ammonia.  I've never had this problem before.  She was in a goodmama fitted that we've only used twice (the first time for overnight as well, but there was no ammonia stink that time).  We bought the goodmama used, though - so I have no idea of its past history.  Should I strip that diaper?

    I would just rinse it, and throw it in the pail.

    It's not uncommon for ON diapers to smell like ammonia depending on how long they are worn.  Urine breaks down after a while (like in a diaper that has been on for many hours) and one of the byproducts is ammonia.

    Since it is used, you could soak it with a little Blue Dawn just in case.  Just make sure you rinse it well before you put it in the pail.  But honestly, I wouldn't worry since it didn't smell the first time.
