WDYT? reusing diapers that were worn by a child with possible staph

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
8 months ago, my toddler had a really bad rash that was guessed to be a staph infection. It didn't respond to the topical abx, so he had a couple doses of oral & it cleared up right away.

I hate bleach and didn't even have it in the house, but got some from my mom and then I bleached every diaper we had.

He's had a few little sketchy rash/spots since then, but they've all cleared up fine (especially when using manuka honey!).

I now want to use these diapers/covers on my 4 month old DS. I went ahead and bleached them one more time (then washed them 3 more times after that because, ugh, bleach! ). Most of these never touched the toddler's skin directly (they're mainly flats and prefolds that were used to stuff pockets, and a bunch of covers that might've rubbed against booboos).

I need some reassurance that they're safe for my new guy.

I would think with several doses of bleach and heat from a dryer that anything living on there would be dead by now...
