Poo 'disposal' problem in resuables

[Mij]

Apologies if you're eating, anyone. Probably being thick, but I just can't get the hang of dealing with dd's more 'grown up' poo since she started actually swallowing food rather than just using it as a face pack (we did baby led weaning).

I've got fleece liners, which are fine but just as hard to get poo off as the nappy itself, and paper liners, which just seem to bunch up regardless of how I place/cut to size and seem to create extra work rather than protect the nappy. A friend suggested I use a 'poo scraper' to get those inbetween deposits down the loo (they certainly don't just 'roll off' like the nappy rep said they would!) but I just seem to be making a real hash of it. Either I, the bathroom floor or the toilet (inside and out) seem to get covered in poo and it's taking ages!

Any suggestions from those with more poo experience!

One option is just to park it somewhere for a bit (I use the bath) until it dries out sufficiently and plops off easily. Poo folded inwards obviously.
I found paper liners worked quite well, just kept forgetting to use them. What type of nappies do you have?

you could try one of these for flushing it down the loo

here

I use a dish scrubbing brush - long handle and scrape it into the loo.

cheaper here and think they ship overseas

or for cheaper version of that we put bucket in shower,shower off poo into bucket then tip down loo.

i scrape mine off with toilet paper after removing the paper liner (use perfectly happy people ones or bambino mio). dd's poo that it not mine....

I can usually plop DS' poo off the fleece liner into the loo, if not I have to hold it down the loo and flush to remove it. As long as that gets most of it off, I just throw it in the bucket to go in the washing machine.

I never got on with paper liners...useless (not sure if I mean me or the liners there )

i just wave them in the general direction of the loo, get the biggest bits off and then do a quick cool wash with no detergent before the proper wash

much easier!

I can't get to my loo with a stinky nappy as I am either not home or downstairs so I (prepare yourselves) pick it off the fleece with a wet wipe and put it in a nappy sack, then it goes in the bin.
Gross I know, but no more gross than if it were wrapped in a disposable.

If it's a particularly sticky one then I scrape it off with a wet wipe and continue as above.

If you picked it off with loo roll instead of baby wipes you could put it in nappy sack and put down loo later. That is what I do when no loo handy. Have never liked the idea of putting poo in my bin, disposable nappies or not

well if i'm in mothercare or somewhere I throw the pooey nappy sack in the nappy bin with all the disposables

Would prefer to do this, but have nowhere to put the dirty bag until I can get upstairs to the loo, so it's going to go straight out in the bin anyway!
I make myself feel a little better by using fleece wipes when it's not a dirty nappy!

the flushable wipes from perfectlyhappypeople are really big - they have been containing everything from dd's nappies ( 7 months), they are larger than the nappies - I'd recommend those ones

Wow, thank you mummies, I now have option paralysis! That squirty thing is amazing. Not sure landlady would be wild about that attachment though

I currently use a mixture of bamboozles and motherease one-size. The former are very tricky to get a liner into as they are quite narrow, and the latter hard to get the (current) paper liner to stay in place in, as they don't fit so closely.

I have tried the 'flushing nappy in toilet bowl' technique, but just ended up with a pooey liner/nappy that was also soaking wet - maybe dd just has extremely slimey poo!

Think I maybe need a new 'scraping' implement, but will also look at those other paper liners as I think the ones we are using are just no good for our nappy/skinny bum combo.

My toilet is beside my bath so I use the shower -head attachmnent to flush off the poo. You do have to hold both shower-head and nappy down very low in the bowl though to avoid unsavoury splashes!

LOL with a bit of a cringe, chipmonkey

I have used (perfectly happy people) paper liners with bamboozles (skinny bum here too - dd that is not me!) successfully, I think the trick is not to worry if they stick out a little bit around the leg, in fact that actually holds them in place better. Just make sure they don't stick out of the wrap.

Recently I switched to fleece liners as dd had nappy rash and I must admit to throwing one away as I couldn't face scraping off the poo...it is quite gag-worthy and i am not a squeamish person!!

I had problems with fleece when DS had sticky poo phases (and now he is reacting to fleece so switched to disposable liners).

The ones I use are big, and I try to make sure they stick out of the edges of the nappy like CITA said - as long as they aren't out of the wrap then its fine and they don't bunch up.

Tis a bit harder with AIOs or pockets but then I tend to put it on as I would normally, and poke any excess back in.

I'm liking the sticky-out tip, will definitely try that one. Thank you everyone.

I flush the poo off and put on a rubber glove to deal with any remaining poo. I use a paper liner on the first nappy of the day as dd usually poos straight after breakfast but they give her nappy rash if I use them all the time.

Nappies from my week-old baby go straight in the machine, breastmilk poo and all.

Aw. liath, a week old baby! [broody emoticon}

Mmm, must go and smell his milky head again . Poor little love is drowned in his giant nappies too !
