poo question!

[LlamaJohn]

OK, so, we're thinking about using reusable nappies. Maybe muslins/terries to begin.

Sorry to be blunt - however, when we get a runny poo - what do you do about 'pre-cleaning' the nappy? Or do you just bung it in the 'wet' bag and wash it that day? do you sluice it somehow? Where? how?

Also, if you're changing out and about, do you just fold the runny poo into the nappy and put it in a bag and deal with it at home?

Sorry - I'm really keen to use reusable, just can't 'picture' the runny poo scenario!

Runny pre-weaned poo, just fold into nappy and dry pail/wet bag until you bung in wash. If its a massive amount a spatula (specifically for the purpose!) is good for poo scraping. If you use disposable liners they cannot be flushed.

you can get flushable liners tho, right?

They are sold as flushable, but just like with "flushable" wipes you shouldn't.

We have a bucket at home specifically for sluicing pooey clothes etc, if it happens when out we just scrape of what we can with toilet aper or hand towels and bag them and sluice it when we get home, I guess it would work the same with nappies.

Before weaning we just chucked them in a wet bag or bucket and washed with the poo - they occasionally had orange stains but these magically faded in sunlight. Then there was a dicey bit when we first started weaning where the poo got smelly but wasn't fully solid yet, it didn't last long though and now the fully solid poos either roll straight off a fleece inner down the loo or I use a disposable liner - some of them are flushable, the tots bots ones are made out of cellulose not viscose.

I just hold nappies in the flush to get the worst of it off then chuckit in the wetbag.

With milk poo, we just washed them tbh. After weaning, the poo just falls off our fleece liners. We used disposable liners with DD1 but we have switched to fleece liners with DD2.
