Real nappies and poo (sorry if TMI)

[lorisparkle]

My DS is 18 months, has very loose poos and I've just decided to try real nappies again (little lambs) . Problem is that I'm finding the nappy and liner really hard to rinse off before putting in the bucket. Am I just being stupid and has anyone got any tips.

i hold my liner in the loo as i flush and swirl it about in the toilet water. This works for me!

sorry if this is stupid ?? have u tried flushable liners might be better

Flushable liners all the way over here. Lollipop are doing 1000 for £16 at the moment.
Also, provided there's no actual lumps on the nappy, I find they come out of the wash totally clean, just like when you used to put their runny newborn poos in the machine without any rinsing.
Otherwise, holding the nappy in the loo while you flush apparantly works.

Thanks everyone. I think I will go back to the disposable liners but find the poo goes over the edges even with those if I'm not careful. As my DS1 usually poos at least twice a day it is a bit of a nightmare! Unfortunately there are usually nice bits of undigested food in the poo so its getting those off that is the problem.

Lori - my approach is to 'flick and then flush' the liner, whilst holding it obviously! Whatever poo doesn't come off just goes straight in the bucket and then washing machine. As long as you do a pre-rinse it is fine.

I had terrible trouble with DS1's sticky pooey nappies at this age and never had any joy with paper liners.

I cut my own fleece liners into a T shape to cover more of the nappy to stop as much of the poo as I could from sticking to the actual nappy.

Have just gone back to disp liners after not using them for ages. Now DS2 is finally weaned there are huge limps of undigested food in his dirty nappies and they have blocked up the washer three times now, had to empty sludgy, poo water via the coin trap so it's disps all the way for me now......my nappy slut days are gone

Yes, I did the same as Washersaurus and cut myself (well DD2 ) some wider fleece liners. Sometimes my fleece liners stick out of the nappy between the legs they still do a good job. They catch everything and don't cause wicking unless they are outside the wrap of course
I found that paper liners weren't wide enough. As long as I got to DDs nappy pretty quickly I found everything came off the fleece liner quite easily

lori just had a thought - what reusable liners are you using? Not those fluffy ones that come with the little lamb nappies ' aka the caterpillar' those were awful to remove anything solid from IME although I have heard others say they are fab

having used fleece liners forever, I've recently discovered flushable ones

do worry a bit about clogging the drains, but really they're so much easier.
