Only if there is a reason for it.
There is a lot of talk around about strip washing nappies. This is something that may need to be done if you have a greasy or oily build up in your nappies. It is not something that should need to be done regularly. If you are taking the right precautions and washing your nappies correctly.
I am going to give some information that you can use as a guide but always check with the care label or your supplier or the manufacturer before you start playing around with them. The brands know their nappies inside and out, in fact they are their nappies experts and are always the best people to approach when troubleshooting nappy problems. I have seen some beautiful nappies wrecked because people were constantly stripping them when they didn't need to.
Firstly if you are washing your nappies correctly then there should be no need to strip wash unless you have been using barrier creams or nappy balms on your baby's bottom or you have been washing your nappies with a fabric softener or a detergent that has a fabric softener in it.
Get the nappy and wet the area that has the build up. If it is a pocket nappy, wet the whole liner area. If it is an insert or nappy, wet the whole thing.
Get about a teaspoon of dish washing liquid (with no hand moisturizers) and smear it across the area. Rub the fabric against itself to make the whole area really soapy.
Leave it to sit all nice and soapy for about 10 - 15 mins.
This allows the de-greaser to infiltrate all the layers.
Give it a quick rinse under the tap or in a bucket of warm water.
Pop it through the wash without any extra washing solution or detergent.
Dry it as per your normal routine and hopefully this has fixed your problem.
