Feces in the diaper:
There are many ways to remove the stool. The easiest is to use paper inserts that catch the solid stool, which is then thrown away. If you do not use paper inserts, the faeces can be shaken off in the toilet, flushed with the shower down the toilet or removed with toilet paper. Do what suits your family best. It may seem a bit transgressive at first, but it quickly becomes a routine and not at all as bad as many people initially think.
If the diaper is only wet, you just put it directly in the diaper bucket.
If the diaper has been used for the night, it is a good idea to rinse inserts thoroughly before placing them in the diaper bucket. This prevents the smell from settling in the inlays.
Breast feed baby poo
If your baby has not yet started solid food, there is no need to remove the stool. Nursing poop is water-soluble and can therefore go directly into the washing machine.
Storing dirty diapers:
Used diapers can be stored in a large wetbag/pail liner which can be put in a large bucket. Many people use the FILUR bucket or the Knodd bucket from IKEA.
Both the waterproof TPU coating and the insert do not benefit from lying around for too long and being wet. Therefore, we recommend that the diapers lie for a maximum of 2-3 days before they are to be washed.
Used diapers must also not be soaked, as this can destroy the waterproof coating. Cloth diapers should be stored as dry as possible and preferably with a little airflow (preferably leave the lid of the bucket slightly crooked so that oxygen gets to the used diapers).
Always remember to button inserts out of the diaper shell before washing.
