? about poopy diapers

sstephen27

I've just decided to CD and I'm really excited about it!  I'm just curious about poopy diapers when baby is breastfed and stools are more loose.

When you take the daiper off and clean and re-diaper baby, what do you do immediately with the poopy diaper?  Do you rinse it off before putting it into a pail?  If so, do you have to have one of those sprayers on the toilet?

I'm just getting acquainted with all the different types of diapers and procedures.  Thanks for your help.

For a breastfed baby (or even formula) there is no need to rinse or spray a poopy diaper, you can just toss it into the pail and wash it poop and all.  Once your LO starts on solids and the poop gets thicker you'll need to get rid of the poop before washing.

When DD was exclusively BF'd, I took off the dirty diaper, laid it aside, wiped and rediapered DD, then put her somewhere safe while I took the diaper and wipe to the pail.

Now that her poop is solid, I take off the dirty diaper, lay it aside, wash DD's bum and rediaper her, then put her somewhere while I deal with the diaper.  We use mostly pockets.  I take the insert out and throw it in the pail, then plop as much poop as possible in the toilet.  If there's anything left on the diaper I rinse it under a faucet in our (rarely used) half bath, then toss in the pail.  I don't have a sprayer.

I'm sure everyone has a different system worked out, but here's what's worked for us.

NB poops are really liquidy so we didn't do anything with them. We'd just remove the insert and put the dipe in a wet-bag then dump the wet bag and the dipes in the washer.

Since he's been on solids, and had more solid poops, we just dump  the poop in the toilet, then put the dipe in the wet bag then dump it in the washer, and we pre-wash when needed.

Ditto, although we use flushable liners now for the solid poop - that way if he has a particularly gross poop that isn't ploppable, we can still remove most of it and not have to spray or wet the diaper.

The great thing about this is that we literally never have poopy diaper pail smell.  I can smell a diaper pail in a sposie household from a mile away, and we got nada

I agree 100%!!

Even now as LO gets older and his poops have more substance to them, I can still barely smell them while changing him!

Try a diaper liner. As kids get older their poops become predictable. I would line her CD when a big present was expected...just lift and flush and toss the diaper in the wash...
