Just fed my DS and because he was falling asleep in my arms I was about to settle him in his Moses Basket when he did a huge wet fart and I felt his nappy fill! Grr!

So I get him back up to change him, poo everywhere, and as I start to put his clean nappy on he starts pooing again - so this time it goes all over the changing mat, all over hi and all over his clothes!!

So then I'm having to strip him off, clean him, change his outfit...

Obviously he's now WIDE awake.....

Why he couldn't just hold it in until morning I don't know?
Surely 6 week old babies should have that level of courtesy?

Had something similar last night. Up the back and down the arms job. The joys...

My three year old just crawled into my bed to vomit on me.

He now sat watching telly and demanding sausages.
Least you get snuggly baby cuddles.

i have just had similar; although less need for changing clothes. when ds1 was smaller he did such explosive poo it went all over him, me and the carpet, not only was he wide awake, i needed a shower and the carpet needed a scrub!

Writerwannabe83 · 06/05/2014 04:33

He won't go back to sleep and I swear he's pushing another one out!!

He's back in his Moses Basket but there's too much straining and squirming going on for my liking....

Pooing always happens at the least convenient time. Generally just after a nappy change. Or while you are driving and they are in their seat, and you can't stop yet. Or just as you put them in the bath.

My eight year old still does inconvenient poos. Bedtime, sitting up to 40 minutes. Middle of the night. Right before time to go to school. I can't stop him as he has constipation problems so if he can go, he has to go or it gets worse, but damn it's difficult sometimes. Like when I am going, and he's dancing around in front of me needing to go. Pft! Plus he has the stinkiest poos ever! I always know when he has farted because of "his smell".

YANBU.
DS, . 5 months did one the other day just as I took his already pooy nappy off - it shot across the bed !
DH reckons she just has more force than his Sisters, she is 2 as I never had daily poo escapes from her ! :(

stick a cork in his butt next time!Grin

FunLovinBunster · 06/05/2014 07:15

Krapatoas, I remember them well....
It's when they get curious and put their devil hands in the crappy nappy and stage a dirty protest on the bedroom walls.....Grin

LostMyPants · 06/05/2014 07:20

We even had a song about DS's poo. After the 3am nappy change where the poo shot all over the wall. 8 feet away. Laughing was the only option. And waking DH to assist with the showers we both required.

puntasticusername · 06/05/2014 07:43

The other week when I had DS's nappy off he pooed, and then farted and pooed at the same time. So it sprayed all over me and everything else in the vicinity. I swear the little fucker looked pleased with himself.

His father, of course, rather then offering me any sympathy just wet himself laughing and was inordinately proud of his boy's cleverness.

ZingWatermelon · 06/05/2014 08:33

punt

DS1 once peed in his own eyes. Confused

starfishmummy · 06/05/2014 08:38

6 weeks....he should be fully toilet trained and getting himself up to go to the toilet by himself by now surely?

When DD2 was about 4 months I was in the bedroom while DH was bathing her and her sister (20 mos). All of a sudden I heard "EVERYBODY OUT!" which was the klaxon for DD2 having done her business in the bath.

I sprinted in to find DH dangling DD1 over the bath while a cloud of orange with lumps spread out from under DD2's bath seat. Threw him a towel for the big one and then whipped the little one out. She kept on going. Oh good God did she keep going. She projectile pooed onto my skirt, all over herself, the towel, the changing mat - everything.

Finally got everyone cleaned up and into bed, only to have to get them out again 6 hours later to drive to Holyhead for a ferry. I was so glad that had happened at home and not on the M6!

You have my sympathies OP, I'd tell him to buck his ideas up if I were you.

ToriaPumpkin · 06/05/2014 08:53

My barely two week old seems to do it every single morning just as she's dropping off after her 6am feed. I would love to be indignant about it but it's the only feed I don't do on a daily basis so DH gets to sort it out. She also pees on him on a daily basis. I am calling this just after the amount of times DS got me!

ballsballsballs · 06/05/2014 08:56

DS1 once peed in his own eyes.

I genuinely laughed out loud at that. Sorry little man.

ZingWatermelon · 06/05/2014 09:06

balls

what was more hilarious is DH panicking and genuinely wanting to call the ambulance! Grin

mindalina · 06/05/2014 09:30

oh zing, my ds did that in the hospital the first time i changed his nappy. i was beside myself, convinced he had blinded himself or something. ex and his mum were practically pissing themselves laughing at me Blush

puntasticusername · 06/05/2014 09:44

Zing in his OWN eyes?! Ouch! Parents' eyes are fair game, but your own...eek, poor little guy!

Writerwannabe83 · 06/05/2014 09:46

These stories are making me giggle!!

zing - my DS has also pee'd in his eyes! My DH was in hysterics whilst I was in hysterics wondering if we needed to get medical advice Grin

And what is it with dad's being proud of DS's monster farts??
So juvenile Grin

The 3 year old climbing into bed to vomit and then demanding sausages just made me giggle.

Writerwannabe83 · 06/05/2014 09:58

I want to know if she got one Smile

I know if I woke up at 3am demanding sausage my DH would interpret it very differently.... Grin

The yoooth of today have no manners.

starfish - I don't expect him to be toilet trained but I do expect him to know how to change his own nappy Grin

Always happens. Middle kid used to explode when he went and one night I'd just took his nappy off and he shot me in the chest and hit the wall behind me.

That was fun clearing up at stupid o'clock.

Blondiebrownie · 06/05/2014 10:12

Me and my Ex took our 1 week old DS to visit family (3 hour drive) on the way we stopped at the restaurant to give DS a break/grab a bite to eat. We both went to change DS's nappy in the smallest baby changing room I have ever been in, as soon as I whipped DS's nappy off he right at the moment decided that he was going to projectile poo everywhere.

I didn't have time to catch it so after he was finished we were brave enough to have a look at the wall. It was all over DS, all over me and all over the wall near the changing table.

We were crying with laughter while stripping DS and giving him -and me- a wash!
