I didn't do it with bf'ing poops (unless using cloth), but since she started solid food, I nearly always do it. For 3 reasons: 1) so the pail stinks less, 2) I am trying to lay a foundation right now for potty training, so now whenever there is poop I show LO and she immediately runs to the toilet, watches me dump it, and flushes the toilet. I'm trying to teach her that's where poop belongs. 3) maybe some environmental benefit to not having it in a landfill? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1684722 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 11:19:42 +0000 Sapphiresun 1684722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Fair enough. I have a girl, so she's actually not that interested in sticking her hands anywhere near the diaper most times, so besides her trying to roll over and get away there's not much risk of having the wipes somewhere easy to grab. But I've heard of this fascination boys have.... haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1684693 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 11:10:29 +0000 Alivoo01 1684693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: Ah. I see. DS is eating a ton of solids, but his poop is still super mushy. It comes out explosive and peanut butter consistency so when I go to change him, I take a wipe and wipe downwards from his pee pee into the poopy diaper immediately because he's taken to grabbing his pee pee when I take the diaper off. Then it's a mad dash to get him all cleaned up before he reaches for other poopy body parts, rolls over and sits up. Eww. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1684358 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 09:43:46 +0000 Trailmix 1684358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! But more bc our diaper genie gets staaaanky otherwise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1684313 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 09:34:23 +0000 Snowdrop 1684313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I agree with the recycling but I have been to recycling plants with children on school trips and all the rubbish has to be sorted by hand anyway so I don't see why we can't just have recycling and non recycling bins...? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1683991 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:18:28 +0000 Happygal 1683991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a hot topic! </p> <p>I admittedly didn't even think about the environmental factors for doing this. For me, it's cutting down on the stink. And the thought of a bunch of poop-filled diapers hanging out in my house grosses me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1683808 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 06:14:43 +0000 looch 1683808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Is your trash incinerated? When I was abroad (CH) ours was, and it was not required to dump poop in the toilet either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1683803 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 06:03:47 +0000 bushelandapeck 1683803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We cloth diaper and so this with cloth and disposable. It's pretty simple and definitely cuts down on the smell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1683800 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 05:55:47 +0000 blackbird 1683800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When E poops in a disposable from daycare, I just flip the poop into the toilet. it stinks up the garage SO BAD with the heat and humidity here, i don't want to smell it every time i go to my car </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1683773 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 04:51:22 +0000 Cherrybee 1683773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: We have three full sized wheelies.... and we don't live in the countryside!! I live in a tiny terraced house. I totally, totally agree with it but they are an eyesore! They're lined up in front of my house (yuk) and every other house in the street. Fortunately, it's still weekly collection - if they smelled as well I don't know what I'd do!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1683763 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 03:43:17 +0000 Snowdrop 1683763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: they changed it about two years ago to promote recycling, we now have 4 bins in total! It's a good job we live in the countryside so have lots of space! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1683761 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 03:40:23 +0000 Cherrybee 1683761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: Ooh, once a fortnight? Eek! Ours is a weekly collection and we pay wheelie bin cleaners who come every 4 weeks. Yeah, if it started to get stinky we would have to rethink because the bin is by our front door (I HATE it but we have no rear access). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1683753 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 02:51:29 +0000 Snowdrop 1683753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: my LO is a long way from being here yet and I do 'plan' on using cloth nappies but either way I will be using flushable inserts for poo because we only get our main bin taken away once a fortnight. I think it would get very full and stinky.<br /> We also have a dog and her poo goes down the toilet too, mainly for the stink aspect again, if we are out abd about I just put it in a council bin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1683749 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 02:29:35 +0000 Cherrybee 1683749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never have and I have only ever heard of this on HB. I have just looked on our local council's website and specifically states which bin (we have three different types of bin for recyclables, compostables and general rubbish) you should put your pet waste in - and asks you to double bag it. It also mentions the need to double bag nappies (diapers) but doesn't say if you should remove the waste or not..... </p> <p>The UK government website states: </p> <p>"If the waste is non-hazardous, and as long as it is appropriately bagged and sealed, it is acceptable for the waste to be disposed of with household waste. This is usually the case with sanitary towels, nappies and incontinence pads (known collectively as sanpro waste) which are not considered to be hazardous when they originate from a healthy population."</p> <p>So then I looked at the nappy packet (Pampers). It says nothing about emptying the contents down the toilet. The only info it has about disposal is in picture form - a person putting rubbish into the bin, and a picture of a toilet crossed out (of course this means don't flush the nappy). </p> <p>So.... I don't know if the rubbish disposal system here is different......? But I don't think we need to do it here? </p> <p>I never have, anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1683741 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 02:09:35 +0000 sarac 1683741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would never. Not touching poop was the best part of switching to disposables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1683485 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 21:32:33 +0000 shortcake 1683485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>90% of the time, yes, we flush poop down the toilet. Putting poop in the garbage contaminates the water supply. It is why we don't all shit in the garbage. It is so easy, it doesn't smell up your house and I don't see the big deal about bringing a diaper to the bathroom and turning it over. I think people are making it out to be a bigger deal than it is. You just get into the habit and it becomes part of the routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1682611 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 18:04:51 +0000 sunny 1682611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep we do it to cut down on the smell. Our change pad is in the bathroom along with the diaper genie.</p> <p>We try to get as much off of the diaper with the wipe but I won't scrape it off if its really stuck on there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/3#post-1682597 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 18:00:32 +0000 mrsjyw 1682597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have but not recently </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/2#post-1682581 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:55:37 +0000 sorrycharlie 1682581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it when I'm downstairs. also, less stinky in my kitchen trash as a bonus. upstairs we use the diaper genie. at least I'm halfway there :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/2#post-1682552 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:36:30 +0000 MsLipGloss 1682552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: yep! it's on the label/packaging! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/2#post-1682551 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:34:48 +0000 keiki_mama 1682551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I've never heard of this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/2#post-1682501 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:10:33 +0000 kjpugs 1682501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of it and not happening. I can barely get them in the pail as it is without poop errrrrywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/2#post-1682490 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:03:38 +0000 HLK208 1682490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only for solid poops (to reduce the stink factor). DD, at 24 months still has peanut butter consistency diapers and those are difficult to get into the toilet so I don't even try anymore. </p> <p>In my state, a diaper with solid waste must be wrapped/sealed in plastic to be able to dispose of it - which is no problem for us since we use the diaper genie and have plastic bags in the diaper bag.</p> <p>No one I know flushes the contents of the diaper though unless they CD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/2#post-1682452 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:49:00 +0000 Running Elley 1682452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I don't know anyone IRL who does this and I've never heard of it. I usually CD and dump that in the toilet (obviously) but I never have when using disposable diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/2#post-1682433 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:43:58 +0000 Adira 1682433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: All I'm saying is that I'm not touching poop anymore than I have to! Wasn't trying to imply that Xander literally needs to thank me for it - just that it's a gross job and that's as far as I'm willing to take it! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/2#post-1682404 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:31:27 +0000 hilsy85 1682404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when it's easily flush able which it rarely is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-actually-dump-the-poop-from-disposables/page/2#post-1682390 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:22:23 +0000 Ginabean3 1682390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't!

We've never had a changing table in the bathroom, so like others have said, we just set the diaper aside and then carried it to the bathroom and dumped and flushed. It's really not a big deal and we do it for smell and environmental reasons. </p>
