With the bad prefolds, do the hottest, longest, most heavy-duty wash you can do, with bleach.  There's bacteria in there causing the ammonia.   You might need to do something similar to your diapers that are now also...

I like Blueberry pockets, though I would go with the bamboo insert rather than the microfibre.    I also like Thirsties covers for prefolds, so if their pockets/AIOs are anything like the covers, I would definitely...

No suggestions, just commiseration.  DD is also going through this phase.  Poor DH has a harder time with her than I do, and he's started cursing prefolds (whereas before he was singing their praises) and reaching for pockets...

DD was 8 lbs 2 oz when she was born, but was probably nearly a pound lighter when she came home from the hospital and started with cloth.  Honestly, I didn't have any newborn sized diapers.  I had Econobums prefolds, some...

Glad to hear it all went well!  I mean, the way I was looking at it, they only get washed once a week with the diaper service anyway, so it wasn't a change in routine on that end...just done in a different location, that's...

I have an HE top-loader too.  :)   Your diapers probably just aren't clean enough, hence the underlying scent of poop.    My first thought is that the cold wash probably isn't doing much.  It doesn't...

I like Blueberry, though they are pretty expensive.  I know a lot of people like Kawaii (http://www.theluvyourbaby.com/) and they have minky, and are very reasonably priced.  (Made in China though, so if that's an issue for...

Maybe your DS had strong urine?  I haven't had that problem with DD unless she got a lot of pee on the cover.  If it was just touching a wet diaper, that was okay, but if somehow she managed to pee right on the cover, it...
