hooray for solids poo

Heaps of people said, 'LOOK OUT' when we started solids because once they're eating that stuff the poo is *really bad*.
Admittedly, she hasn't started eating meat yet, but far out, I much prefer cleaning up this poo!
Her bf poos smelt bad and they went EVERYWHERE. These ones smell bad too, though not worse, and I just have to 'flip' them into the toilet (with the occasional rinse of the cloth nappy). And I don't even know when she's gone! Before there was no mistaking it, but now she's like the Silent Pooer. I just have to remember to change her often.
So anyone who is dreading starting solids because of the poo, take heart! It's not all bad IMO ;)

ROFL Snacks - I know what you mean. Jack's poos went "solid" before he was 7 months old - not sure if it was before or after starting solids. But Tom's stayed "bfing runny" until 10 months! The first time he had a "solid" one I cheered - I was beginning to think it wasn't going to happen. BUT the down side to starting solids is the poos get more frequent - both my boys were once every 7 - 10 day pooers before solids. Boy do I miss that LOL!

LOL! Runny til 10 months?! Eeek! IKWYM about the frequency, Melanie. Though at least it is a little more predictable these days... We had a couple of 8-day-built-up explosions in the car in the past. PMSL, they were not pretty.

Funnily enough, Jack never had a really explosive one, not any that leaked out the back anyway. Tom had a couple - so glad that's over LOL!!

LOL same here, only just started Charlie a week ago but I don't walk into the room anymore wondering what the smell is.......funny thing is though he's woken up the past two mornings with a no2 in his nappy & I have no idea how long that's been in there but he doesn't seem too fussed. When he grizzles I just pop the dummy back in & it's off to sleep again - perhaps if the room stank I would know!!he,he.

Not so sure I am enjoying Rylee's solid poo's - they stink - combo of half the time being runny and half the time being solid - when she was bf I never knew when she had been - now!!! Phew!!! Stinky.....

We call them "grunties". There's always a red face to go with the grunting. At least I know when they're happening and I'm not going to get any surprises.

We call out "GRUNTIES" and then there's a fight for who will do the nappy - my husband always wants to do it. (I also have other works of fiction in the pipe works if you're interested in reading them!)

PMSL! I was just about to say I wish we had that problem in our house ;)

Mads, LOL, a friend told me she hadn't realised bananas have seeds til she fed them to her babies :lol:

Who'd have thought I'd ever take such an interest in poo......

My husband appears to have absolutely no social graces and likes to inform people about the "curry". He always seems to do this when we're invited around to people's places for dinner. For some reason he relates them to looking like some sort of food. Is there a class he can take?? Eg: Etiquette?

Hmmm, let me know if you find an etiquette class, Lesty. My DH doesn't talk about poo (well, he rarely changes her nappy, so doesn't have much experience to share) but for goodness' sake I'd love for him to excuse himself rather than laugh after a bodily function... While I'm not offended by it, I'd hate for our daughter to one day stay at a friends' place and burp like Homer Simpson and laugh her head off. (I'm soooo embarrassed even at the thought of it.)
Mads, I can't get Natalie to eat fresh banana :( She likes the pear and banana in the jar, but for some reason when I make it for her she sends it back ;)

Hmm. That's good to know, thanks!
