After Gracie's recent ordeal with post-antibiotic diarrhea, she's not very clean. At one point I did submerge her back half in warm H20 to get rid of poop and urine, but now that she's more active I don't know if that's ok or if it would stress her terribly. But truly, the poop & pee isn't nearly the problem that dried on formula becomes. How to get that off???? And yes, I do try to wash her up right after fininshing the feeding and before it hardens. This may be left over from when she wasn't eating well and was sucking so weakly that she'd dribble. It hardens like glue. Any help out there? Thanks,
Kay

It seems to me the dried formula almost has to be soaked off.
I used a flea comb once the formula was moist to finish removal of any globs that dried.
I used wet cotton balls and baby wipes for all my kidz after feeding....and then a dry baby blanket to dry them.
Sorry....... no rocket science here!!!!!
