    I don't see why not. Just be sure to run them through an extra rinse cyle.

    In my day (not that I'm that OLD!) we used to always bleach the cloth diapers. Disposables were just out but rather expensive as a new product. We would separately soak the diapers in bleach, rinse well, and then wash. Today's babies seem to be much more sensitive to different things due to all the chemical processes. If you would like to use bleach, I would soak the clothes (in the washer) with a little bleach, rinse and then wash. I think a much better idea might be to use a bleach alternative which may not be as harsh and yet work fine.

    Nothing wrong with it. Just make sure the bleach is safe for the fabrics. Rinse the clothes well to remove all traces of bleach. I've done this with my kids clothes when they were babies and they didn't suffer for it. The main thing to remember is to check for colorfastness. If you're not sure, try a bleach alternative for colors. I use those now and they're great.

    No I wouldn't use chlorine bleach. I would use borax, much safer.
