Text of the page (random words):
you are fine if the diaper doesn t stink when your baby wets it it means your washer and wash routine are doing a good job of washing out all of those ammonia crystals and you really don t need to worry about changing anything but if the diaper is smelling after the baby has wet it it is going to be a problem if you have ammonia build up you need to get rid of it it isn t good for your baby s butt and honestly it can make cloth diapering a nightmare first you will need to strip the diaper to do that you can follow the steps below you can do this in your washing machine if you have a top loader or in your bath tub take your clean diapers and put them in the washer or tub fill it with hot water as hot as you can stand allow the diapers to soak for a couple of hours adding more hot water through a tea kettle or pot of almost boiling water to the tub as the water in the tub cools agitate the water every now and then to allow the water to really penetrate the layers of bamboo i like to use bac out during this process if you have bac out you can add about 1 4 to 1 2 cup of it to the water as you are soaking them other people prefer to do a detergent soak with rockin green or funk rock i prefer not to do this as i fear a detergent soak will only lead to detergent build up people have mentioned using dawn dish soap to strip your diapers only do this if your diapers are repelling because of a barrier cream if you do decide to use a detergent funk rock or dawn to strip the diapers you will need to really rinse them out to get all of the detergent and soap out of there after you have soaked your diapers in the hot water rinse them and transfer them to the washer or drain the washer and do a rinse spin cycle and then start a hot wash with your regular detergent wash the diapers rinse them and then wash them on hot again this time without detergent by this time your diapers should be good and stripped if they smell like ammonia the next time the baby wets them repeat the process but this time use either the bac out if you didn t use it before or do a detergent soak once you do not have an ammonia smell when your baby wets the diaper it is time to get proactive to keep that ammonia away i recommend using a wet pail to combat ammonia i ll explain that in a minute but some people are not comfortable using a wet pail and that is totally fine you can help keep ammonia at bay by doing one or a combination of the following add another rinse to your pre wash rinse add funk rock to your pre wash rinse change your detergent amount you might have to add more sometimes you need to use less get more water into your washer during the wash cycle add another post wash rinse add bac out to your pre wash rinse do a 30 minute bac out soak before after your pre wash rinse and before your wash cycle change your detergent if your detergent isn t getting the diapers clean enough it isn t going to be able to wash out all of that ammonia and you are going to get build up i believe it is really important to rinse at least the overnight diapers after you take them off the baby this will wash out most of that urine and help prevent those ammonia crystals from forming to do this you can rinse them in a bathtub or with the diaper sprayer if you chose to rinse them you can either wring them out and put them in your dry pail or put them in a wet pail if you chose to wring them out and put them in a dry pail you need to be diligent about washing your diapers within a day or so so bacteria and or icky mildew doesn t form if you chose to use a wet pail this is one of the ways you can do it get a bucket or a small 5 10 gallon garbage can fill it with cool water about half way put 1 8 1 4 cup bac out in the water as the bucket is filling optional rinse the diaper and doublers and place them into the pail on wash day you can either take the pail to the washing machine and dump the entire contents of the pail into the washer or you can pull the diapers out and place them in the washer and then dump the leftover water into the toilet or tub if you don t have a lot of diapers in the pail it is easy to dump the water and then put the diapers into the washer then proceed with your normal wash routine because our laundry room is really a laundry closet and i wash a ton of diapers and our wet pail weighs approximately eleventy billion pounds i keep the pail next to the toilet bath tub and then drag the pail to the washer and pull the diapers out then dump the leftover water into the toilet i wear gloves while doing this and while rinsing because i m not looking for a spot on dirty jobs although it wouldn t be so bad if mike rowe decided to come for a visit if your changing area and place to rinse the diapers are far from the laundry area and you prefer to keep the wet pail by the laundry area you can rinse the diapers and then transport them to the laundry area using a small bucket bowl or pail if you do not want to rinse your diapers and put them into a dry pail or wet pail then you can spray them with bac out after you take them off the baby and place them in the dry pail the key to preventing ammonia is going to make sure your wash routine is flawless but in the days of high efficiency low water washers this is not always possible so other means of prevention are necessary please let me know if you have questions or if something isn t clear i am always happy to help and want to make sure that your cloth diapering experience is a good frustrating free one by joanna at 9 53 am 0 comments labels bamboo diapers cloth diapers email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday june 11 2011 desperate measures i ve made it a rule to never complain about my kids and i try really hard to stick to that of course they aren t perfect but most of the time it isn t their fault when they are driving me crazy and i don t think it is fair to them to announce to the world that they might be making me a little bit batty at the moment kids are kids they need things they want things they don t have the capacity to be patient for things and when you have 4 kids who all need and want and aren t patient for things all at the same time you can get a little batty a little faster than you would like m has been gone for 5 weeks 5 weeks of no contact except for a short letter here and there and it isn t like he s sending me a postcard with a picture of some gorgeous beach on it he sends letters saying someone stole his laundry detergent and he needs me to send him some and hand drawn pictures of him jumping out of planes and believe me i am thankful that i do get to hear from him at all even if it is about how he probably got some swamp flu from trekking in the mud all day but i want to talk to him so it has just been me and the kids for 35 straight days now no reinforcements no backup no breaks and they are generally good kids except like i said they just need and want a lot of things and they need them and want them right now i m tired so so tired i just want sleep that s it i ll take 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep maybe even 6 last night s plan of paying the big kids 2 coins each if they slept until 7 this morning totally backfired and both were in my bed at 6 13 this morning asking if they could have their coins yes coins not nickles or dimes or even quarters they just want coins any kind of coins just to put in their piggy banks thank goodness for all of those random euro coins i keep finding so tonight i ve gone rogue the battle is on i need my sleep and i am going to get it a and mjs room has been stocked with a cup of water and a snack bag for each girl along with a stack of books and some toys they haven t seen in awhile w and cb s room is stocked with juice and dry cereal bananas for each of them and a computer with a dvd this is the one time i am very glad w can read because when he wakes up he will see the note i have left for him do not wake your mother up unless you are bleeding or the house is on fire and here s a dvd for you and cb to watch remember do not wake your mother up and no fighting love and kisses mommy 7 hours kids just 7 hours that s all i want desperate times are calling for desperate measures by joanna at 10 29 pm 6 comments labels a cb life mj my husband w email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday june 2 2011 third and fourth before w was born i was the perfect parent he wasn t going to be allowed to watch tv or play video games the computer was going to be off limits and we were going to only have educational toys he was only going to eat organic and healthy fast forward 18 months and he s playing with my cell phone while eating marshmallows while watching baby einstein so i wasn t mother of the year then for sure but i was pretty strict about only eating in the high chair and sitting properly on the furniture no jumping on the bed and only going outside with shoes and shirts on then cb came along and i got a little more lax we didn t always eat at the table you could often find her sitting on the back of the couch eating her snacks they didn t always wear shoes outside and when it was hot they were shirtless most of the time they got away with making more of a mess than i would have like and things definitely weren t as controlled as i preferred but oh well then a and mj came along these girls my third and fourth get away with so much it isn t even funny i kind of feel like as long as they aren t bleeding or their arm is bent the wrong way and they aren t in danger it will be ok there is so much that just doesn t matter to me anymore sitting on the table fine as long as they are quiet eating in the living room awesome just put a blanket down and we will call it a picnic wearing 2 different shoes perfect at least they have them on cereal for dinner at least they are eating and i don t have to do dishes jumping on the bed exercise it will wear them out before bed spill your plate fine i ll clean it up later no need to freak out or get upset things happen a already knows how the wii remote works and mimics the motions as w plays mario kart mj and cb really enjoy playing dora games on the computer hand eye coordination right justification is my favorite thing in the entire world either i have become incredibly apathetic or i ve relaxed a lot i don t know and all of the above really makes me sound like a horrible mother but i don t think i am a horrible mother they aren t out of control they are just curious and there are 2 of them and one of me they are good kids they listen they play nice the care for each other and their brother and sister so i think we re doing ok but my goodness they have changed me and i am so glad they have
