Hi Ladies,

Inspired by all the ladies here on the forum, I contacted Sophia (from Mayangels) and have finally taken the plunge for cloth nappies. As I returned home with a bag full of nappies, inserts, liners, prefolds and what not, I cannot help feeling very excited for my new adventure.

I just have one doubt. Does the nappies washload go as a separate load or can I wash other baby clothes with it. I normally wash the baby clothes separately from the rest of the household clothes. This seems like a no brainer but I just wanted to check.

Gotta go now, I can hear a bag full of huggably soft cloth nappies calling out to me ;)

Good for you! I hope you'll love using them as much as I have. Keep in touch here and with Sophia as you embark on this cloth journey...information and advice early will help you have success. :) Washing separately or with your clothes is entirely up to you. I was lucky enough to have LOTS of cloth nappies :D so I could keep filling my nappy bucket until I had enough to justify a full load on their own...especially after solids and all of the gross solids poos! I have some favourites that I like to use more often so I would often pop them in with the regular wash if they were only wee'd on. ;) Did Sophia go through all of the storage and care 'rules'? No fabric softener, non-bio detergent, one quarter to one third the normal amt of detergent, don't soak them, dry in the sun etc etc. :D
