So what happens when Eleanor poops? That's a question I've gotten in regards to the whole cloth diapering. There's this amazing contraption called a diaper sprayer that has already come in handy more than once in our house!
It looks like this:
This diaper sprayer attaches to the toilet. When Eleanor has a diaper that has poop in it, we just hold the diaper over the toilet, turn the sprayer on (though not on high - that thing is powerful!) and spray the poo into the toilet. Then the diaper just goes into the wet bag with all the other diapers. So far we haven't had any problems getting the poop off or with stains.
Washing the diapers is also not a big deal. We just do a cold rinse, a warm/hot cycle with cloth diaper friendly detergent (we use Rock.in' Green), and a cold rinse. Then most everything can go into the dryer, at least for now. We will line dry the covers to help them last longer. It's only a few extra minutes every other day to wash the diapers.
