For exclusively breastfed babies, you can toss a poo diaper straight into the washer. That poo is water soluble.
That said, for anyone who plans to CD till potty learning, I recommend a diaper sprayer. What most people do it either spray, scrape or shake the bulk of the waste into the toilet and flush it. Then toss the dirty diaper into a pail or hanging wet bag. Wash every other day.
The wash cycle itself is a cold prewash, then a hot wash with detergent, then an extra rinse. The poop is gone by the end of the first prewash, and your washer is totally clean by the end of the rinses.
ETA: some people still use a "wet pail," which has water + bleach or vinegar or something else for disinfecting, but it is harder on diapers and can be a drowning hazard for mobile babies. I use a dry pail, which is a Planetwise hanging pail that goes straight into the wash w/the diapers. Seems cleaner to me.
