Liners - paper or fleece

[FessaEst]

I have used fleece liners almost from the start, as I realised paper liners saved nothing from the newborn bf poo! Now DD is weaned and eating well (and pooing up to 4 times a day) I am really not enjoying the scrape, flush, flick, flush routine!! Do you use paper liners, and if so which, and are they flushable? Am a bit nervous of DD becoming sore from them. TIA.

very quickly as weaning goes on the poo becomes a neat patty n just rolls off them.
Like you I remember at times considering chucking some of the fleece liners after poo carnage rather than face 'dealing'.

Not long n all will come good.

Google diaper spray

I have a drawerful of 'flushable' liners but have stuck with fleece as, like knucking says, as weaning gets going the poo just comes off when you flick them. I tried the paper ones but found they made DD wet and stuck to her bum. The fleece ones keep her lovely and dry.

with DD1 I used paper liners once we started weaning and I used them all the way through. With DD2 I didn't use any liners with BF poo but now we are weaning I am a fleece convert. Fleece is much softer against their skin but DD1 never seemed to mind the paper ones. I had really cheap Junior Joy ones.

Thanks everyone. I should have said - DD is 15 months now, poo is quite firm just there is a lot of it so it gets about a bit. i think it doesn;t help that the chilminder bundles it all and sends it home too, so I was thinking that she might get on better with being able to flush the majority. really don't want to let DD get sore though, so maybe I will plough on. Thanks for your advice.

pm me your address if you want and I'll send you 10 sheets of paper liners - I cut or rip them into thirds so that would give you 30 goes. See if it suits you/the childminder/DD and then if they work you could buy some more. No point buying a big roll of them if you don't like them. They are light as a feather so it will just be the cost of a stamp. Always happy to help a fellow clothie

That's so kind smac - I will do that and give them a go - I could send you an SAE?

We use Boots own disposable linners. They are not paper so not flushable but are disposable so no need to 'deal' with them and are much softer then the paper ones. Also, if there is no poo I actually wash them and they'll do a couple of uses if washed in the machine, or more if washed by hand! (If there was a face for 'tight northerner' I'd put it here). I do keep meaning to try fleece ons now we have proper poos not just BF can of soup style poo.

FessaEst don't worry about an SAE I'll be going to the PO tomorrow anyway.
Flowery if you want to try fleece ones then I really recommend these ones soft minky fleece ones here I have a few 'normal' fleece ones but the minky ones are so, so soft and lovely. DD1 tries to take them to bed just to stroke - the lady also makes taggies with the fabric as they are so strokable (is that even a word?), maybe I should just get her one of those!

Ummm...am arriving very late to this chat so you've probably all moved on, but this patty of which you speak...neither of my DC have ever produced a poo like a patty. They have quite sticky poos and always have done. Would they still be able to flick off a fleece liner? We have used BambinoMio flushable ones but the poo just seems to get caught in a channel between the edge of the liner and the edge of a nappy and I am getting really sick of dealing with it.

Hi Roary, my DS is more like your kids thanks to his banana addiction. It doesnt always flick off, but if find holding the end in the pan and flushing while holding on tight does the job. The last bit is important, have lost a couple down the pipes and as we have a sceptic tank it could be bad news!
