Prep question

I feel like I should know this- but just got some bamboo/hemp fitteds in the mail. I already did a cold rinse cycle with them. It's wash day and I have a load of dirty diapers. Can I throw the dirties in there now and do another rinse/ wash/ rinse or should I put the new ones in a complete wash cycle by themselves and then wash the dirty ones later? Thanks!

    Why did you do a rinse cycle with new diapers?

    If I just get one or two new natural fiber diapers I wash them with my dirties and start using them knowing they won't be as absorbent until several more washes. If I get a whole bunch, I wash them separately once or twice before I start using them, again knowing they won't be fully prepped. I break rules though.

    I thought I was supposed to rinse first to get all the oils off of it. Maybe it's a wash not a rinse. I think I need more sleep:-)

    Yup, wash with detergent. I've washed my new stuff with a load of towels a couple of times before putting in with my other diapers.
