how much solids "counts"?

in Cloth Diapering
DD is 5 months old and we're starting to give her a little bit of veggies (avocado, squash, probably sweet potato soon) because she has already seemed very interested in food for over a month and doc recommended because she is very thin (so avocado was especially recommended) . She's only having maybe 1-2 tablespoons at most though and is BF otherwise.

When do I have to start rinsing poppy diapers into the toilet instead of just putting in laundry with wet dipes? Laundry means prerinse cold then hot wash double rinse cold.

So far her poop doesn't look very different and the foods she has eaten would be OK in the washer as they were before she ate them (smeared in bib, etc )

So what's the rule for how much solid food counts as making a toilet rinse necessary? Thanks!

    You'll know ;) It will be thick and chunky, often times with while food chunks ha. It didn't take very long after solids before it started looking nasty for us.

    I have to admit that although I was told I would know, it wasn't exactly clear to me and I ended up with a diaper or two that didn't come clean in the wash since the poop wasn't water soluble. What I know now is that it's when it stops being so watery. Mine are six months and still only eat a little food so I know when I need to rinse if the poop doesn't run through the pocket onto the insert. Use your judgement on a fitted or the like but it was the change to peanut butter that made it clear for me.
