Baby Born Doll Not Pooing - Really Frustrating

64 replies

HadMyTwo · 26/10/2010 11:17

Ok, here goes. Bought a Zapf Baby born doll for my two year old. Fed her the starchy porridge thingy that comes with the doll and now me and my husband have tried everything in the instructions (and a bit more) and she won't do a poo on her potty. I know it's not the end of the world Smile but it is making me frustrated and I suspect the doll will get all mouldy inside if not cleaned up (which again requires you to put water in her and then make her do a poo). Raising my kids was probably easier than this. Any help from similarly frustrated MNers would be welcome.

This is what happens when you spoonfeed, see. Not breastfed, clearly, and now eating manufactured baby "food".

Poor little mite - have you not heard of BLW?

kveta · 26/10/2010 14:04

best thread ever :o

I was going to ask if she's breastfed, but if she's supposed to be using a potty, I guess she's beyond the 'bfed baby can go up to 2 weeks without defecation' stage :o

PerpetuallyAnnoyedByHeadlice · 26/10/2010 13:25

take her for a ride on the bus - she will declare that she needs to go as soon as you sit down, problem solved

if you have access to one, a rollercoaster ride has the same effect

HTH

PMSL at pg with twin dogs !!

Has she been taking iron tablets for anaemia? That bunged me right up during pregnancy.

Only thing that cleared the pipes was a strong cup of decaf coffee. But I was wishing I could have a fag.

HauntingTheTardis · 26/10/2010 13:13

Another reason to be glad we had boys. Action Man doesn't have this problem!

hellphireblue · 26/10/2010 13:11

Have you tried a reward chart? We found peppa pig stickers combined with chocolate buttons worked a treat.

Failing that, shove something up it's arse and hope for the best.

Fave thread title of day no doubt about it Grin

No helpful advice tho thankfully we avoided this item.

Lottery You're pregnant with twin dogs? Is your DP a werewolf?

Take her for lunch with 3 other dolls who look like sex & the city characters. Have her confide in them about her blockage - 'you know, bowel stuff' she must say - and then one of them will make an embarrassing slutty remark about the waiter, they will all laugh like it was hilarious and BB will instantly shit herself.

I may have misinterpreted that advert....

giraffesCantDookForApples · 26/10/2010 12:38

Is her bum hole blocked? Could you insert something up it. Maybe lubricate it first for the poor dolls sake.

Failing that then feed her some of those pills that are on TV when the woman pours leaves out her bag - mataphorical shit.

deste · 26/10/2010 12:36

Laughing at DiggeryGravery.

DiggeryGravery · 26/10/2010 12:30

lol at this thread

Sit her on the potty and read her a book. Show her a box of Smarties and promise her one if she poos. Tell her she's a big doll now and she can have her own special big girl pants soon.

If that doesn't work, smack her.

FindingMymOOOOOOOOjo · 26/10/2010 12:28

JannerBird I hid all that stuff too. our BB recently went AWOL & when she turned up I could see DD had been trying to feed her goodness knows what - but it stinks. DP did a great job of cleaning her. Nothing came out of bum hole though.

How wish I'd brought a doll who's eyes closed when you laid her down instead of stupid pooey fake bottle silly dummy BB we foolishly choose without any research!

LotteryWinnersOnAcid · 26/10/2010 12:26

What do they look like these days? I had one of these when I was very young and I dug it out the other day... to practise Blush (ok not really but I am 27 weeks pregnant with 2 dogs and am trying to get them used to the idea that they can't just jump up on me when I'm holding a swaddled... piece of plastic.)

Mine is horrific looking. DP was disturbed at how gross it is. Do they still look the same?!

I remember that yellow liquid 'poo', too, is it still the same stuff?!

TorturesInAHalfHell · 26/10/2010 12:06

I'm just reeling at the idea that someone past the potty training stage would voluntarily buy a creature that can't clean up its own poo.

BigWelt · 26/10/2010 12:02

Show her a really scary movie

ZacharyQuack · 26/10/2010 12:01

Fill her with strong coffee and dishwashing liquid, duct tape her mouth, nose and ears then jump on her tummy.

Aim her bottom at your MIL before jumping, if you like.

iwilldothis · 26/10/2010 12:00

Would a little bit of tummy massage help? Remember clockwise massage only to get things moving Grin

thanksamillion · 26/10/2010 11:59

Clearly it's because you've been spoon feeding and not BLW. A BLW doll would never have this problem Grin

ZombieChickensHaveNoMercy · 26/10/2010 11:56

I'd remove her head, then blow

LynetteScavo · 26/10/2010 11:53

A consipated doll? I've heard it all now!

GreenStinkingStumpSleeves · 26/10/2010 11:52

Have you tried cranial osteopathy?
