Started solids...

brandlebugg

Ok, so LO just started solids which is very exciting! He loves sweet potatoes and bananas unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to the simplicity of tossing our EBF poo diapers in the pail. We don't have a sprayer, but I have this thing called a scrubadoozy. It's like a washboard that sticks to the toilet. I also keep a spatula nearby. My question is, do I need to make sure I get every bit of the poo off or is it ok if there are remnants left on the diaper? I feel so gross after I try to get all the poo off... It's hard not to make a mess.

Ime I didn't have to start poo removal right away once I started solids, but my daughter was slow to warm up to most solids. I also never obsessed about getting off every little bit, but maybe I'm gross.

I have a sprayer (which I love and totally recommend) and I spray 99.9% off, but I don't meticulously aim at every little spot.

It took LO about a month to get enough food through his system to warrant dealing with it any different than EBF poo.  I scrape diapers, and I definitely don't worry about getting all of it off - just most of it.  Haven't had any issues so far!

How can you tell when to deal with it differently? Smell, consistency, etc?

peanut butter-like.  and you think "yuck, that is not going into my washer" bits of food…etc

After I remove the poo,I rinse the diaper to get rid of everything, then I just put it on the bag.

When you open the diaper and you're like "WTF IS THAAAT? "

You'll know.

Or, when you open the diaper and are like, yep, carrots and mango pieces! That's what's she ate yesterday...

I had to spray right away. My kid decided she loved solids right when she started.

Thanks for your responses and sense of humor! My LO has taken to solids and I'm sure I don't want what he's got comin out in the washer! But I think I feel better knowing I don't have to be so meticulous about it, and just make sure I get the big chunks (gross)! I was thinking I had to almost do a prewash in my toilet, lol
