Laundering Prefolds and Bumgenius Cloth Diapers

I am using cloth diaper and I am very happy with how it is going thus far. My daughter is 3 weeks old and exclusively breast fed. I am using the prefolds and covers so far - and I can't get the yellow poop stains out without using bleach. I am worried about using something this harsh on fabric that is going right next to my baby's skin. Also, when she gets a little bigger, we were planning on switching to the bumgenius pocket diapers.

Bumgenius Cloth Diapers

I use Bumgenius 4.0 diapers with my little guy. However, he has a diaper rash (I think because of teeth), and I was wondering if there was a diaper cream that will work with the cloth diapers.

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.
