For babies exclusively breastfed
The stools of exclusively breastfed babies are water-soluble, making them easier to manage:
- You can store diapers without any special rinsing.
- If you prefer to rinse, wring them out well and let them dry to prevent mold.
- Sun drying is ideal for natural, antibacterial cleaning.
For babies who are formula-fed or have started solid foods

- Remove stools before washing to avoid soiling the diapers.
- Use suitable tools to make this step easier.
