Baby Poo
Well for all you mothers out there I'm sure you can relate. For those who aren't mothers, enjoy!
Apparently breastmilk is a natural laxative, which I'm beginning to wonder why I even chose to breastfeed because of this. Let's just say Avery's plumbing is that of her father's. The Dr. said that we shouldn't be alarmed if Avery were to go a day or 2 without pooping because it's totally normal. I assured her that day would probably never come. Avery poops about 6-8 times a day...And not just regular baby pooping, we are talking explosive, shoots out every crack in the diaper, goes all over the place, pooping.
Story #1
While attending a lovely wedding reception of my best friend Candace's sister, I decided that it had been quite awhile since I had changed Avery's diaper. So I stood up to go, but got caught talking to someone who wanted to Ooh and Ahh over her. Well, thanks to that person, we never made it to the bathroom. All the sudden I hear "I think she's leaking!" and look down to see a run of poop streaming from Avery's diaper, down her leg, and puddling onto the floor. Thankfully we were outside so I wasn't ruining someones carpet! So, I stripped her down naked, bagged the outfit, and changed her right there in the chair. Embarrassing moment, thanks.
Story #2
Avery's baby dedication was reserved for a fancy, white dress. I was so nervous about having a blowout in the middle of church or right before, but she was good! Until we got home. We decided to take some pictures and when Chris got her out of her car seat, BAM! Poop spilling out! All over the white dress! White! So I did what any mom would do...wiped her down with baby wipes, put a new diaper on, and continued on with pictures, just angling her so the poopy dress wasn't in the shot.
Story #3
I sent Avery off to Grandma Sue's this morning. I made sure to put her diaper on extra snug too. As soon as Chris gets there, apparently she poops and it shoots out on his dress shirt. Which, coincidentally, last time he wore, he spilled coffee all down the front, and a time before that spilled hot sauce. Needless to say, he's throwing away the shirt because it's bad luck.
I'm sure there will be many, many more times of getting covered in baby poop. I hope this prepares some of you out there to what you can expect from your tiny, delicate, sweet baby. I've learned in my short 2 1/2 months of motherhood, that I will never again wear anything nice. It will be covered in poop, puke, spit up, or urine, if not all of them at the same time.

so true, so true! you know i can totally relate:) carly only goes once a day now, so they are even more powerful. if there is any pee whatsoever in the diaper already, there is no room and the poo comes out. these days will end... oh, and you will wear nice stuff again. it will have to be machine washable of course:)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was pregnant, I did a lot of research into diapers (not only for the environment, but also for our wallet). After reading tons of reviews and a recommendation from someone who uses them I decided on Honest diapers.
