Do The Poo

This happens multiple times a week, and if we're lucky, multiple times a day. We have just started our journey into the world of solids....and very stinky poo. Slowly giving pears, bananas and avocados. Usually not a drop is left on the plate and Mk smacks to show her appreciation to the new tastes on her palette,much similarity to the way mama and papa indulge with every meal as if a rare cuisine.
Up until about 2 weeks ago, my 6 month old was exclusively breastfed, however the poop explosions still occurred. Now the only difference is more laundry and a tougher approach to the stains. It's pretty obvious though that besides the new foods, there's another culprit. Pampers pampers held the poo, but leaked the pee. Huggies held the Pee and occasionally leaked the poo. For the past 2 months its been obvious that Luvs doesn't luv her, but the frugal saving money mama in me refuses to let over 200 pampers go to waste. Another awesome brand which I have used as overnight pampers is Earth's Best, sturdy and supportive, while being organic and affordable. We have also done everything in between, such as BJ's, good ol' hand me downs.
The ironic part of Mks daily poos and possible poop explosions is that they never happen while on the go, but always right before stepping out the door. Apparently the trick to a good poo is to get her dressed, jacket, shoes and even to put her in her stroller and voila....poop. Papa always says she's just passing gas, until its up her back and caught in her growing curls. Now would I rather be late all the time or cleaning up poop while on the train all the time? In a wierd way, it still all works out.
:-/ ....apparently those sweet potatoes went right through her. And to think, I greatly considered cloth diapers. Thank God for the abundance of pampers we received up to this point.
