  orange spots, not convinced this is normal (pumpkincat)

I am rather new to cloth diapering and have a question. I noticed that one of the diapers had a very faint orange spot on it after i washed it. This was from a BM and sunned out with ease. Today I noticed two more diapers have the orange spots after a BM. He is exclusively breastfed. Is this something that can happen with the cloth? Perhaps there always is an orange residue after a BM and i did not notice it with the disposables i used to use. These are used diapers, so at first I thought it might have been a chemical reaction, but my diapers have been stripped and are very well cared for. ~Shelly

Do you mean like a big orange stain where there was poop? If so, then this is totally normal (and would happen on clothing too, not just diapers). Breastfed baby poop stains are very bright, almost neon-like sometimes! It doesn't really matter that the poop wasn't bright orange or yellow, that's just the color that it leaves behind. I know you say it was a faint spot so maybe your wash routine is pretty good at removing most of the stain but there's just a little left behind... I can't see how you would have noticed this with disposables though, it's not fabric so may not stain the same and it would be hard to see it anyway considering it's covered in poop when you throw it out...

As long as it comes out easily in the sun then I'm 99% sure this is what it is and it's totally normal. On the other hand, if it's a very small spot (like smaller than a quarter for example) and it doesn't come out with sunning, then that's a different story.

Karen.

They are small spots, about the size of a quarter, but they do come out with sunning. I just dunno, maybe i should call our doctor and make an appointment for him. His father has a GI problem, perhaps Mateo has inherited it, although I hope this is just something harmless. Thanks for your ideas Karen, Shelly

My diapers get orange stains on them too. I agree with Karen...totally normal and the stains sun out easily.
