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.

That sounds borderline abusive to me, Juicy! I was going to suggest a star chart or some other form of bribe.

have you tried feeding it washing up liquid with water and shaking vigorously? this worked with mine.

ha ha haaaaaa ha ha

they really poo nowadays?!

What about dressing her in an all white outfit, preferably one bought for her by a well-meaning childless relative, who only manages to buy baby clothes that are dry clean only?

Though tbh you could be pushing the potty issue too much. You could give her terrible psychological issues if you force her, you know.

at constipated Baby Bjorn.

Have you tried Movidoll?

Grin JannerBird I should have said no as well, unfortunately my 6 year old read the instructions and was adamant that I go ahead with the experiment.
Meanwhile I will book an appointment with the doctor pronto after having coffee with her.

And even if they can inhale I doubt they can light their own cigarettes.

Strong coffee and a Camel Light. You might have to blow the smoke into her face, though (unless they can inhale these days).

Have you tried a strong cup of coffee? Normally works for me.

Maybe she has in imperforate anus - I'd see the doc

bloody hell, I have heard about dolls weeing, but pooing..... whatever next Grin

Sorry, not helpful, but cannot believe they have such things!

JannerBird · 26/10/2010 11:20

Can't help I'm afraid. I hid the sachets from my DDs and told them the doll they had didn't poo! Grin
