My hats off to the PPs who did!</p> <p>But my SILs both used old super soft muslins which they cut into strip liners. No dramas at all and no staining. We use sized nappies and both ours went into cloth at around a week old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1063522 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:36:16 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1063522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emg86: awesome!!

The pack lasted 4-5 days once home and it was long enough to get through the meconium and first few yucky poos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1062730 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 15:02:09 +0000 Arden 1062730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs squirreld: I used the GroVia disposable liners, which I believe are made from ingeo tree fibers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1062725 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 14:59:55 +0000 emg86 1062725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Lil Joey's and didn't do anything special! It washed right out and I sunned them a few times too just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1062656 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 14:28:13 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1062656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: awesome. thanks. did you use a natural fibre liner? Like bamboo?<br /> @jetsa: that's what my approach was going to be too, but tonight I saw a meconium poo and woah! Lol. I heard a lot of people found they didn't stain so was wondering if any bees had experience. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1062211 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 12:24:58 +0000 jetsa 1062211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question! I'm going to just go for it and then try to get it out afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1062028 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 11:28:19 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1062028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used kissas fitteds (size 0) and a cover (we used Rumparooz) almost from birth. Lorelei was in the NICU for the first two days due to breathing issues, and they did not allow us to use our cloth diapers while she was in there, but as soon as she was able to be with us we started with our cloth. It was a little less than 48 hours after birth, and she still had some meconium poops. We had brought them to the hospital when we realized I was going to need a repeat cesarean. We did end up having to sun them, but we had no staining. I was impressed with how well the fitteds held up. Lorelei was pretty small, so we used them for several months before we switched to a larger size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1061890 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 10:46:20 +0000 Arden 1061890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used liners inside my newborn sized cloth with a snap down for the cord (Lil Joey's). No issues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1061846 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 10:31:44 +0000 lovehoneybee 1061846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until his stump fell off (at 2 weeks) because I didn't want to risk ruining my cloth diapers (or irritate the cord stump). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1061806 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 10:22:25 +0000 immabeetoo 1061806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs squirreld: his was gone by the time we got home and we went into newborn cloth then. The hospital stay was just too hectic I am glad we didn't bring cloth to use there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1061796 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 10:19:59 +0000 Freckles 1061796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our hospital used cloth diapers, so we "borrowed" a few when we left. If we didn't use the hospital's diapers i definitely would've gone with disposables.</p> <p>@runsyellowlites has a great idea. i would use the t-shirts (washed in scent-free detergent) instead of regular liners...which may be too rough for a NB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1061754 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 10:12:36 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1061754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't want to wreck my diaps with meconium. We waited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1061750 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 10:12:20 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1061750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: @grizz: we have newborn prefolds &amp; covers with the snap down rise for the stump so hopefully that will work.<br /> @runsyellowlites: oooh that's a good idea. Thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1061743 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 10:10:49 +0000 runsyellowlites 1061743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took an old t-shirt &amp; cut it up to use as liners we just trashed. Worked great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1061739 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 10:09:44 +0000 Pink Champagne 1061739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used disposables, both because of the cord and because he was way too tiny for his BG 4.0s (he was only 6 lbs at birth so we had to wait a couple of weeks).<br /> Even so, the meconium passed by the time we left the hospital (two day stay). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1061722 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 10:06:52 +0000 Boheme 1061722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited, because DS's dipes also came all the way up to his cord stump and rubbed on it. Next time we will probably use a different brand of dipe that folds down at the bellybutton, and use liners. We looooove CDs! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meconium-and-cloth-diapers#post-1061706 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 10:03:30 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1061706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those who cloth diapered from birth did you use liners for those first few meconium poos or did you just use straight cloth. Did it stain your diapers at all? </p>
