Between the hours of 5.15 and 5.50 this morning we have haas no fewer than FOUR poos. One negligible, three sizeable. He has also free-weed on two babygro/vest outfits whilst i've been dealing with the poomageddons.

Aibu to try and prevent more such carnage or should I just take him back to the shop for a full refund?

Obviously that title should read 'jam' and 'up'. Stupid bloody phone isn't that smart.

Aw, that sounds rubbish. I like poomageddon, though. As a word, not as an event, obviously.

BenjiAndTheTigers · 02/08/2012 06:25

Take him back and ask for a refund. They won't give you a full refund because he is slightly soiled.

Second choice is to give him a nice bath, wrap all the clothing up in a bin bag and bin it.

Hate to say it but If he has the bug they all seem to have around here (beige foamy poo and a bit of watery, v smelly, off food but v little sick) he might do this for a few more days yet Sad DD2 is finally better after over a week. Hope he feels better soon

BenjiAndTheTigers · 02/08/2012 06:28

Hope he doesn't get too bad. Make sure you thoroughly wash your hands between each change.

I know this is basic hygiene but sometimes we forget when it's happening every 10 minutes.

CheerMum · 02/08/2012 06:52

I advise owning a good bottle of wine, use the cork on Poomania and the wine on yourself

Alternatively, I second the thought of a quick bath for baby, then fingers crossed it is all out of his system ( and defo throw away rather than wash anything pooey ). Hope you both get se rest now xx

Do you really want to take him back to the shop. He's presumably a bit bigger than when he left it now.

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 02/08/2012 07:42

No loss of appetite here. I'm tempted to blame teething, but not really any other symptoms. Oh, and we just had poo number five...

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 02/08/2012 07:44

That's true Mrs Hoarder, i've put 6 months of work in to get him to this size, surely I could make a profit...?

And luckily he only peed on the clothes. Say what you will about cloth nappies, but they're excellent at containment

Poor you! We had a couple of weeks of pooing about 10 times a day for no apparent reason. It stopped as quickly as it had started so hang on in there.

auntevil · 02/08/2012 07:53

With a DS of 7 and one of 5 that still regularly do this (dietary issues) - I say get used to it - particularly drinking the wine before contemplating using the cork Grin
Seriously though, I sympathise.

Poo number six...

It will pass. It will pass. Repeat after me...this too shall pass.

StealthPolarBear · 02/08/2012 08:27

Oh no :o
And I don't think that's what MrsH meant- the "shop" is a euphemism for...

StealthPolarBear · 02/08/2012 08:29

If these are normal poos rather than unwell poos then I've been there! We used to call DD Little Miss Admiral Multi-Poo as she used to poo all day long on occasions, including a memorable ocassion when she was a bridesmaid (frilly knickers, petticoats, neat hair) and she pooed 5 times during the wedding, once during the ceremony itself. Each time I had to traipse off to our car which was about a 10 min walk and change her on the passenger seat - the last couple of times it was dark...

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 02/08/2012 08:59

Spb - he came out of the sun roof, so I guess it didn't worry me the way it should have!

And yes, I guess they're normal poos for a bf baby just starting to wean. I found the bits of red pepper skin slightly concerning until I realised what they were, ditto aubergine...

OP posts:
StealthPolarBear · 02/08/2012 09:03

ouch - even worse plan to take him back then :o

Kayano · 02/08/2012 09:04

POONAMI...

MrsHoarder · 02/08/2012 09:34

Surely any profit would be fat on you - I wouldn't be after that!
