Everyone who told me baby poops don’t smell was so terribly terribly wrong.

Also I knew babies could occasionally go bathroom in the middle of changing, but I never expected it to happen this often, and this violently.

Anyway I hope I didn’t wake up the neighbors screaming at the top of my lungs at 2:30am. But at least the wall has been properly disinfected.

@zkat what happens is that people who have good experiences raising kids tell others, and people who have bad experiences don't because they know if everybody knew the reality then that would be the end of the human race

@zkat my child had a pretty nasty diaper rash in her first few weeks, so we had to swap wipes for a peri bottle and give her a bunch of fully naked time after changes... I'm pretty sure she peed on every towel we own (and half my shirts), and I vividly remember her pooping directly into the sink ...

... anyway, all that to say, hang in there, I feel your pain, it does get a bit better in a couple months when they figure out the routine of what's going on.

@zkat Pro-tip, keep a set of scrubs in the diaper bag. That way when you get covered while you're changing the baby in the restaurant bathroom you have a change of clothes yourself. Don't ask me how I learned that lesson.

@zkat My condolences. I've witnessed the thing you describe, but I don't think I ever experienced the consequences to which you allude. o.o

@zkat In my experience as an uncle, it's one of those many lies that parents tell themselves to survive the parenting process. And then spread to new prospective parents so they too can suffer like they did. 😂
