I've used Planet Ultra Liquid Laundry Detergent from the start with no issues at all. The diapers don't smell like anything but cloth. No sore bottoms, rashes, nothing. I even used it for our laundry early on cause my DD's skin was so...

Another factor to consider is the stage baby is at. I couldn't stand prefolds with EBF poop. I tried for many months to make sure there were no gaps for poop to escape. Even the jellyroll wasn't enough. I bought a few fitteds and loved...

I had heard there was never an actual case of it. That it's basically a specific chain of events that's almost unlikely to ever happen--though it can. Also, I've heard that other things can lead to the same chain of events, so it's not...
