My DS has been wearing sposies to bed this past week.
:
The ammonia smell was just overpowering my DH and I halfway through the night. I'm willing to put up with it, but my DH is not. We need to find another solution. Sposies are not the answer!!!
So far, we've tried Nighty Newts (not loving prefolds for nighttime), Sleeptights (organic cotton and hemp/cotton) and Kindhearted Women fitteds, all under wool. Is there some laundry issue we're having here? Or is the ammonia smell just because he's a heavy wetter and needs another doubler? I wouldn't mind trying other nighttime dipes, so feel free to spam me with links to other possibilities. Unless this is just a laundry issue, then just flood me with laundering suggestions...
FYI... my laundry routine (all on heavy wash setting, highest water level):
1. Rinse on cold
2. Wash on hot with a small amount of Tide (our water dept said we have soft water) and some baking soda
3. Rinse cold with a cup of vinegar (this is new, but we've had ammonia smells with the vinegar and without)
4. Rinse again on cold water
5. Dry until VERY dry and then also line dry the non-quick dry stuff
I've tried Calgon too, which hasn't helped. Would Dr Bronners work? What about Dawn? And I can't boil because everything has snaps.
So, what is it? Do I have laundry issues, or just a super soaker?
