I'm not sure if it's something I did or if Xavier is peeing lots but he goes through a diaper in an hr or so. I even double stuffed an overnight Kawaii this morning and it was soaked 2 hrs later.. Not sure what to do or what I did

This is what I was going to say

[mrs_williams]

how do I do that?

Run clean diapers through an extra few hot washes with no soap.

Or Rock a Soak! If you use (or have some) Rockin' Green soap, out a few tablespoons in a tub of HOT water and soak your clean diapers overnight. In the morning put them through a wash with no soap and then dry as normal. I love Rock a Soaks

Just boiled my microfiber inserts and the water came our yellow, I don't even want to talk about the smell lol (they were used). I boiled for 10 minutes.

I washed mine 3x on hot in the washer. Then took em out and scrubbed them with Dawn, did not rinse, just kinda squeezed out excess water - MUST be Dawn - in the kitchen sink. Put em back in the washer without anymore soap.

Good as new.

or you can have danielle from cheerful cheeks strip them. thats what i do last timer i did it it was 20.00 for 50 diapers and she picked them up and dropped them off.

Vinegar works as well.
The recipe I got from the Extraordinary Babyshoppe is as follows:
Repeat the process twice:
Run your covers and diapers through a wash with only hot water (if allowed by manufacturer's washing instructions)
Run a second wash using 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup vinegar in this second wash. 1/2 cup vinegar again in first rinse cycle
Run a second rinse cycle with plain hot water
Dry covers in dryer (this step just once)

If you are trying the Dawn method, it has to be the original blue Dawn. Not those with additives or fragrances.

What diapers do you use?

1/2 a cup of vinegar is a lot if you are using a front loader. Also, if you have certain metals that can be found in hard water, that much vinegar is going to produce a really nasty smell.

Yep, boiled in big pots on the stove.
