What method do you use: re solids

austenreader85 · May 2011

I started solids the other week but just got the peanut butter poop today. I had read that you could just dunk and swoop with solids and I tried that and nothing came off. And I'm not going to lie, it was pretty much the grossest thing I've ever done in my life! He hadn't pooped in 2 days so it was like all over the diaper so my hand had to go in the toilet too. It just made me feel like Ick!

I've also read about just scraping it off with a plastic knife or something. Or a diaper sprayer. So what do you use? Especially for the peanut butter poop stage?

We dunked and swished, but now have a diaper sprayer. I love it.

We haven't tried solids yet, but we have a diaper sprayer that we use now for our more explosive EBF poop. It works really well.

We're moving more ploppable (although I am afraid of what will happen since she's on antibiotics right now) but when it's peanut butter I've been scraping with a spatula. Blech.

I keep that peri-care squirt bottle that the hospital gave me after DD was born on the back of the toilet. It works very well.

we scrape. i use an old clam knife as my scraper lol. but a plastic knife or any old kitchen knife should work.

for super mushy poops, it helps to leave them laying somewhere (we lay ours next to the toilet, or the bathtub) for a few hours to harden up some and it's easier to scrape the poop off then vs when it's super fresh lol.

we also use fleece liners which helps the poop not stick to the diaper (we use prefolds) as much.

sprayer and I love it!! (technically its the shower head lol we replaced the shower head in the bathroom so its detachable and we bought a long enough hose to reach the toilet

Dunk and swish. I usually just let the diaper hang out in the toilet for a while until the solids work their way off.

I've been scraping but just ordered a sprayer. I've heard nothing but raves about sprayers.

Sprayer is amazing. Also, try folding the diaper in half (poop side out, of course!) and sometimes just that "stretch" will make even PB poop loosen up. I've also found that it's easier, in general, to spray everything off of the dipe if you have it folded in half -- that way you can hold the whole thing within the toilet bowl without it touching the water, and you can spray without getting sprayer water all over your bathroom ;-)
