My poopy diaper badge
I am currently the owner of two beautiful FuzziBuns cloth diapers, and I love them. Two is not much, but Isaac wore them today for a total of about 5.5 hours with great success. In the last diaper, he bequeathed me my very first cloth-diaper poop, something I knew would happen from the zero poops of yesterday.
It's funny, reading the Fuzzi Buns directions: "When removing a dirty FB from your baby shake, or knock any solid bowl movement from the FB. You can rinse any residing BM off the cover if you would like, but this is not necessary." I think they assume in saying this that people's babies don't produce the spackle-consistency doo-doo my son is famous for. "Shaking" or "knocking" does not remove this kind of poo. Only scrubbing in a bathroom sink with one's hands and even fingernails will remove this kind of poo. Evidently, machine-washing manipulations which get pee-pee diapers perfectly lovely-smelling also fail, and leave light stains and smells behind, with this kind of poo. I just put the dipe back in the wash with additional detergent, as recommended for particularly problematic stains. Unfortunately, I feel that I should wait to expand my FB collection until I figure out how to banish the poo. And I need to figure it out soon, cause I just bought a pack of Luvs from the Dollar Store, and MAN do they suck.

Some of the girls on the message board I read have this thing called a mini-shower that attaches to the toilet for just that sort of thing. Luckily, we haven't encountered much of that w/ Ben. It's generally one massive lump and some residual squishy stuff (which comes off in the wash, no problem).
Found this... thought it might be helpful! http://www.softclothbunz.com/Washing-Cloth-Diapers.html
Solved the poop problem -- I just increased the amount of detergent I was using, and now his poo dipe is nice and fresh.
