Getting Rid of Smell in Cloth Diapers

I started using cloth diapers a few months ago and I loved them until they started smelling. I use bunGenius, Mommy's Touch, and Happy Heinies pocket diapers. They smell awful even after washing. My wash routine is: cold wash cycle, hot wash cycle with detergent, and a warm wash cycle. I bleach them once a month at the manufacturer's recommendation. I've tried Dawn dish soap on them, I've added a water softener to my wash cycle, and I let them dry outside in the sun, and the still stink. I feel like I've done everything, and they still...

Are BumGenius Itchy for Baby?

I received two newborn-size BumGenius 3.0 AIO diapers, and noticed that they have a stiff, square patch of material sewn in the back of them near the waistline. It seems like the edges of the patch would scratch baby's skin. Has anyone had a problem with this? My plan was to buy/register for about a dozen one-size BumGenius pocket diapers, but now I'm wondering if they would be comfy for baby.
