Hey there. I plan on cloth diapering, and my dad was going to build me a changing table/bookshelf for the nursery. But... That doesn't seem to work with the whole "spraying excess poop off" deal. So, practically, where do you end up changing cloth diapers?
-
We change all of LO's diapers in the nursery. She's still EBF, so we don't spray the diapers yet - they go straight into a trash can with a washable pail liner. Once we start solids and have to spray diapers, we'll still remove the diaper in the nursery, then carry it across the hall to the bathroom, spray it, and put it in a hanging wet bag in the bathroom.

Our bedroom, on the bed. We don't spray, more like scrape or shake off into the toilet when needed!
-
@owlmom: we have the same routine. Not looking forward to solids!
-
we have a changing table near the crib. we plan to change her in the room and then take the diaper to the bathroom to spray it.

As @owlmom said, as long as they're EBF, you don't need to spray (we tried for a while to spray off every poopy diaper, and it made me hate cloth diapering... then we started just chucking them in the wet bag and washing them without spraying, and life was good again). So because we never sprayed when LO was EBF, we just changed him in his room, at his changing table, and dumped the whole diaper in the wet bag next to the changing table.
Once LO started solids, he wasn't pooping a million times a day, so it wasn't a big deal to change him at his changing table, leave the diaper to the side, and then run and spray it off in the bathroom while he played on the floor. We had another separate wet bag in the bathroom for that purpose, and when we did laundry we'd just grab them both.
Also, once we'd been doing solids for a while, LO's poop was often solid enough that I could just pick it up in one piece with a wipe, dump that in the trash, and put the diaper in the wet bag without spraying because there really was very minimal residue on it. -
We use disposable liners and we change her in her room on the changing table. When I'm done changing her I stick all the poopy wipes and liner into the bathroom where we have a diaper genie (or the dog would get to them and that's just gross) and toss the diaper in a diaper pail.

I am new to this so I don't know if this is what is supposed to happen but we just "roll up" the poopy diaper and add to the wet bag in the nursery. When its laundry time I scrape all poopies off and then wash.

We change in the nursery. We EC also and bow that DS is having some solids he really only has a BM in his potty, but if he goes in a diaper I just finish changing him and spray in the bathroom after he's all cleaned up. We use cloth wipes with just water, wet as needed, so I either wet them first if I know he went or he chills out on his little potty while I get some.

I plan to do what @owlmom does - getting an extra wet bag so pee diapers go in the nursery one and poo diapers go in the bathroom one.
