just nasty

I have to report on Eddie's poops...so for the faint of heart, feel free to skip reading this blog entry. They of course have changed dramatically from those days of solely breastfeeding when they were watery, mustardy and earthy, but pleasant in smell. When he started eating solid foods, the poops were like little turds, relatively firm and could easily be dropped into the toilet. Now they are just plain nasty - mushy piles that stick to the diaper and have brought me to gags twice now. The smell and texture, plus his tendency to flip over during the changing process, has made the trip to toilet to empty the poop almost impossible. So our diaper pail reeks these days. Not sure how I would be able to handle it if I did what I set out to do and use solely cloth diapers. I think at this stage in the poops I would have had to abort mission anyway. I guess his poops are the way they are because he is eating whole foods, that is, nothing is pureed and strained anymore, so he is getting all the fiber and such. I swear that it is the Cheerios that make them smell so bad...but maybe it is all the meat/chicken he is eating...or the cottage cheese. I just cannot imagine them smelling any worse than they do now.
