I set the diaper aside and dump the poop in the toilet afterwards. LO's poop usually falls off of the diaper pretty easily. If not, I have a small plastic spoon that I use to scrape. LO's poop got more formed within days of starting 1 small meal a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-talk-to-me-about-solids-poop#post-909882 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:56:46 +0000 birdofafeather 909882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@owlmom: yeah, leftover poop is no good. thanks for the heads up that it might look the same, but won't disappear like the other stuff has! i wouldn't have even thought about that!</p> <p>ETA: we do have two diaper bags now, so i might talk DH into leaving one in the bathroom. but i do wonder about guests as we only have one bathroom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-talk-to-me-about-solids-poop#post-909880 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:55:01 +0000 birdofafeather 909880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: gah, that's what i'm worried about! the transition and change! just when i've "figured things out" (like we ever really do!) we need to make this change and i think that's why i'm spazzing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-talk-to-me-about-solids-poop#post-909878 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:54:43 +0000 owlmom 909878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't be scared - it will be okay :) For poop diapers, we change LO at her changing station in her room and then take the diaper to the bathroom. I shake the diaper, then use a sprayer to get rid of any remaining solids. Then I put the diaper in a planet wise diaper bag that we have hanging in the bathroom rather than carrying it back across the hall to the diaper pail in her room. This requires more wet bags, but I think it's easier to have one in the bathroom and one in her bedroom. I prefer using the sprayer to using liners. I felt like I was wasting liners since my LO doesn't poop at the same time every day, so we were using a liner with every change in case she pooped. My LO's poop is soft, so liners really don't contain the poop all that well for us, even now that she's 20 months. The sprayer takes a little bit of practice so that you don't get spray-back, but once you figure it out, it's so simple. The poop won't change too much while you're still breastfeeding the majority of LO's calories. When we got down to three-ish BFs a day, LO's poop changed to something much more akin to adult poop, which sounds grosser, but really isn't a big deal since you'll work your way there gradually :) Once LO starts solids, you do need to get rid of the poop before throwing the diaper into the wash since solids poop isn't water soluble, even though the appearance may not change much from entirely BF poop. You could possibly get away with it for a little while since your LO won't be eating much solids, but I personally wouldn't want to chance leftover poop in my washer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-talk-to-me-about-solids-poop#post-909872 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:51:43 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 909872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread has been really helpful. Yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-talk-to-me-about-solids-poop#post-909863 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:39:38 +0000 autumnlove 909863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with solids(1 meal) at 6 months and her poop was smellier and thicker but not solid. I didn't use a sprayer at first and I just wiped the diaper down with TP and sprayed it with Bac out. I started using Bumkins liners and that was a lifechanger...I did waste a lot of liners on pee but it was worth it when her poops were thick and nasty before they turned into clean logs ( 3 solid meals a day) at 10-11 months.</p> <p>Yay for poop! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-talk-to-me-about-solids-poop#post-909859 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:35:25 +0000 Weagle 909859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Yep. We use Elemrntals which have lots of layers. The cleanup can get messy sometimes, but the fleece helps keep it contained and less messy. Sometimes there's a bit left on the diaper to dump, but not most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-talk-to-me-about-solids-poop#post-909854 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:27:48 +0000 birdofafeather 909854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: we have fleece liners as well! So you use those and then just dump them out to protect the diaper more? I knew I was thinking about this too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-talk-to-me-about-solids-poop#post-909839 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:22:21 +0000 Weagle 909839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Solids poop isn't scary! We change in the nursery as our bathroom is also too small for a changing station. We used the disposable liners until they clogged our pipes. Now we use fleece liners that I cut myself. They're just easier to deal with and wash than not using anything. Our changing routing is take off the poopy diaper, set it aside, and clean LO up with a new diaper. LO then goes into the crib to play while I take the diaper to the bathroom to dump it. It usually comes off pretty cleanly, but whatever doesn't fall off goes into the diaper pail. Occasionally we swish, but we never spray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-talk-to-me-about-solids-poop#post-909836 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:18:16 +0000 Tidybee 909836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's poop is a lot drier and harder now that she has solids 2 meals/day. It tends to just flake off. However, we;ve had a few occasions were it's softer, and i just scrape it off into the toilet with a brush and spray bottle. Works just fine and it hasn't been a huge change in our routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-talk-to-me-about-solids-poop#post-909820 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:03:44 +0000 birdofafeather 909820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never did I think in my pre-parent head that I would wonder about poop as much as I am right now! </p> <p>We're going to start solids this weekend after BFing for her almost 6 months. CDing has been easy to maintain and we haven't had any issues. Now that we're starting solids though, I'm nervous about the logistics! We use a Planet wise wet bag that hangs by the changing station for everything and spray poopy diapers with bac-out. Everything goes right into the wash every 2-3 days.</p> <p>With solids, what was your CD system? Our changing station is in the nursery with no room at all in our tiny bathroom to put anything in there. I'm hesitant about a sprayer bc I feel like it might go everywhere. We bought disposable liners so do we use those every diaper change to be able to dump out the poop? And then "waste" them if she only pees? How soon does the poop change after starting solids? I know she's only starting with an ounce or so of food at a time but I'm definitely thinking WAY too much about it. It does feel like this huge change though! Help! </p>
