I’m rather grateful my kids were all out of nappies before I found this out.

I thought thats what everyone did

I personally can’t as they are mostly runny and you can’t really hose off a disposable nappy.

Yes I just plop the Pooh into the toilet, easy when they are older, when a newborn I just put whole nappy in bin.

I always put the poop in the toilet but I always used cloth nappies and only when the babies were new born we used disposable nappies. As soon as poop was solids we scooped. We used a cotton nappy service they had strict instruction of scoop the POOP! We were supplied a bin to put the nappies in with a lid and we had a pickup and delivery service once a week or twice when I had three kids in nappies at the same time.

As a disposable nappy user I’d never thought to do this!

Too late for me but I always put the poop in the toilet but I always used cloth nappies. I had disposables at home for when my late husband was at home alone with our sons. He knew to roll them up and leave them in a bucket if they had poop in them. I’d sort that out when I got home. I didn’t know that’s what you were meant to do though. Glad to know I was doing the correct thing though

like they say ” you learn something new every day”.

I used cloth nappies and always disposed of the poop into the toilet. For runny ones, I would hold the nappy and flush to wash off. With disposables, which I rarely used, lumps would be shaken into the toilet but runny ones had to be folded up as the nappies would become waterlogged if I tried to rinse off.

Yes, everyone who uses cloth nappies knows this. Perhaps this article could actually mention that the growing number of cloth nappy users do this all the time?

What about the runny ones? I’ve honestly never done this. The only time I have is when I’m trying to toilet train the kids. Otherwise I roll it up in the nappy and place it in a little bag and bin it.

I always used cloth nappies, so it was automatic to me to flush the poop down the toilet as I didn’t want it in the nappisan bin or my washing machine.

Honestly never even knew this!
I don’t even think any of my friends with kids do this, especially when you’re out in public you just wrap the nappy up, pop it into a nappy bag and throw it into the bin!!!

I had no idea! A quick check of the nappy packaging and they state “roll up and discard in bin”. We aren’t at the super solid stage anyway, so it wouldn’t be possible to “scoop”.

That checklist is how I always handled my nappies – except for really sloppy ones that had to be contained on the spot to avoid any more spills. I just thought it was the normal thing to do.

This is why I use cloth nappies! So much better for the environment by not adding to landfill! So yes I always pop it into the toilet before washing

Never even occurred to me to do this.

Well, oops! I don’t do this.

Only time the poop went in the dunny was when I was using cloth. If they pooped in a disposable I just binned the whole lot- isn’t that the point of them?

In only used this to toilet train
