starting solids and poop

Girl031813

Apologies if I am asking common questions. I quickly scrolled through a couple pages and didn't see this one.

DD will start solids soon and I am wondering what the routine will be like with her new poop. She's currently EBF, so I don't do anything with the poop, just throw it in the washer. So, my question is, the first time she has solids do I need to start rinsing? Or do I wait for the consistency to change? How long will it take before it becomes solid? I'm a FTM, so I don't know much about this phase!

I waited till the consistency got to like peanut butter.  How long that takes, depends on how much she eats at first.  At lot of babes take a good month or more before the injest enought to change their poo.  My LO got enough pretty much right away.

PB poo, or when you actually see chunks of food (sorry, I know that's gross.)  The time will depend on how much they actually eat and what method you are using for solids.  I would think puree eaters would keep a softer consistency longer.  I did BLW, and LO's poos were solid within a matter of weeks.  She was a voracious eater.
