Did you wash their diapers separately or together?

I always washed my two girls diapers together until my odd potty learned. Toddler poop is gross, lol, but you shake it off first anyway....

Yes, I wash everything together, but I try to get all of the toddler poop sprayed off with the diaper sprayer.

I wash them all together. It never occurred to me to do anything different.

With DS and DD1, I washed them separately just because I changed them in two different rooms so they had two different pails. With DD1 (before she potty trained) and DD2, they shared a diaper pail so I washed them together. Yeah, the toddler poop was gross but if my washer wasn't getting the (combined load of) diapers clean enough for me to use them on the baby, then that would have been a big problem with the washer.

Gosh, I think that if you have a toddler and a newborn and you STILL have time to be worrying about separating dirty diapers, then you are a superhuman and not like the rest of us! LOL

Seriously, though. For six months, I had a toddler and two newborns. We always washed everything together and never fussed about it (and never really rinsed much, either). If a diaper is clean enough to be worn, it's clean. Period.

I've found that our newborn's poo is too icky to go in with the others. With our first I just threw all the newborn's dipes in poo and all, this time it's clogging up the works, making all of our diapers REEK and giving my toddler a butt rash. So we have been putting hers (nb) in first for a rinse and then throwing in his

I try to make as little work as possible while CDing. So when I had a toddler and a newborn in CDs I washed them together. I am all about easing my workload. I think I would have fizzled out on CDing if I had to do 2 separate diaper loads.
