Really dumb question but - can I wash nappies together?

[LuluHB]

Like I said, I'm sure this is the dumbest question ever asked but is there any reason why I should wash my two daughters' nappies separately? At the moment I put my DD's nappies through the rinse cycle, having already rinsed and dry pailed them waiting for wash day, and then I throw in her clothes, bedding etc to make up a full load. I'm sure with a newborn I'll get a full load from their nappies combined but don't want to wash them together if there's any chance nasties could pass between the two of them.

Yep, I'd wash together too! I guess if they're sick you could always seperate them for the duration of the illness, or use dettol rinse.

Are you asking can you wash clothes with nappies or toddler nappies with baby nappies? I don't wash clothes with nappies no matter how rinsed they may be and the nappies also fluff. I do and have washed toddler & baby nappies together. No probs there.

i so a rinse cycle with just teh nappies then pop all her clothes. bedding etc in... always have!

Yep, I wash all clothes, bedding and nappies together! I figure that if the nappies are coming out clean enough to be put back on your baby, then it's hygienic enough to put the clothes in too.....they should come out the same way I'm a bit of a hygiene freak too
