 Topic: poo - what do you do?
Posted: 23 April 2011 at 8:30pm |
I've done a quick search but cant seem to find an answer  what do you 'do' with the poo??
Floyd did the hugest poo earlier (up the back etc) the small amount that was on the liner went down the loo along with some more that I kinda wiped off with flushable wipes, but honestly there was more poo than hes ever done before and I had no idea what to do with the poo that missed the liner and went all over the nappy  in the end it went down the laundry sink using a brush and tap on full!!! Just wondering what others do

If it's not a formed poo (which can just be shaken into the toilet), I use our sprayer and spray it off into the toilet.
It's not a fancy nappy sprayer either; it's a $15 showerhead hose attachment that fits over the taps in the bathroom sink. The sink is just next to the toilet, so I can just spray into it. Works a treat!

Either down the drain or, if there's enough none-poo area to get a good grip on, I hold it in the loo and flush. Holding it tight!

Thats what I did the one time Cody did #2 when wearing cloth. Was disgusting, enough to put me off putting him in cloth full-time.

Hold it...and flush...! Genius!! Fortunatly Max rarely poos in cloth, he seems like do all that at night into a sposie but once the liner wore it all but the other time... i had no idea what to do. I ended up putting it in the machine on prewash then adding the rest of the clothes to finish the cycle. At least NB poo comes off easy.

I tried the flushing thing a few times, but our toilet water pressure must not be up to much, because I just ended up with a very wet nappy still covered in poo.

Yes, anything left gets cleaned with an old dishbrush and down the laundry sink. Most of the time they just roll off into the loo now though. I tried the flush thing too, but didn't really work here either.

Ours roll off most of the time, or if they are squishy I get most of it into the loo then use hot water and a scrubby brush in the laundry sink. The hot water also helps take the stains out much easier!

I use a flushable liner, most of the time they get 70-80% of it, if I dont use a liner and the whole nappy gets covered? I know it sounds gross but I just leave it to dry a bit (bout an hour or 2) then use some toilet paper and it kinda "flops" off into the loo lol, cnt do it straight away, gotta wait for it to dry haha
Im not that worried, T only goes once a day and I do nappy washing every 3 days so I know theres only ever 3 poo naps in the wash. I do a good cold rinse first and that gets any poo out before the proper wash :)

Formed poos I just tip into the loo.
If its runny (DS has been a bit sick lately), I scrape off using toilet paper. Any residue gets washed off in the machine. I wash nappies separately.

We've only just started getting solid poos but I've always used washable liners so I just shake them into the loo, then hold tight and flush...to get most of the solid bit off. I also try to use flushable liners if I think a poo might be due...so much easier! Any bit that gets on the nappy, usually not much, comes off with a pre-rinse before I wash the nappies.
Had a shocker yesterday...in a hurry to go out, forgot to use any liner and whaddya know, biggest number 2s yet! It was not fun...used toilet paper as per MamaT's description above
I'm thinking about going to Mastertrade and getting the bits to make my own nappy sprayer to attach to the cistern...can't be that hard!

Yea, now he's on solids, it's just tipped into the loo. When he was still just on milk, I just scrubbed it off in the laundry sink - I had a brush reserved for that purpose 
Is it weird that I didn't find it gross? I mean, new-born poos aren't really smelly or anything, and yea, it's poo, but you rinse the brush and wash your hands...

Not at all! I didn't have a problem with newborn poo either... What a difference a bit of real food makes!!

would love a sprayer but we have a new style toilet so you cant see any of the plumbing, plus fingers crossed Floyd will be TT in the next year so cant really justify the cost

Most of the time we have to use a scraper, so we have an old scraper tool in the bathroom cupboard. Gets wiped on toilet paper, washed & put back away.

For those of you who want a sprayer but don't have the right plumbing, do you have a sink next to your toilet? A cheapie showerhead attachment from Bunnings can attach to the taps and then you just hold the sprayer over the loo.
