Prepping/stripping used diapers

[linzerin]

Hello everyone!

We are expecting our first in February and have started buying a variety of used dipes on here over the past few weeks. I have mostly fitteds, covers and inserts.

I'm looking for advice on how I should prep my used diapers.

1. Should strip them? Almost all are in EUC and barely used.

2. Should I bleach them? Don't know if I should be worried about yeast, bacteria, etc.

3. Do I handle the fitteds, inserts differently than the covers (covers are all PUL)?

4. Since I still have about 4 months until they will be on a baby bum, should I do this now, or closer to my due date?

Thanks mamas, you are a wealth of knowledge!!
