To think that 04.00am is not the time to be having a poo.

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?

I thought it would be nice to share my 2nd bath in 5 weeks with mini me who is 3 weeks old, he was screaming when he got in. He calmed down and did a massive poop!!

Poop in the bath disintegrates into a trillion bits

Oh and mini me farts are on the Richter scale!!

Hello all.
I just used to keep a muslin or old towel over them until the new nappy was secure in place.
You can't always see what you are doing and sometimes it takes a few secs more peeping under cloth, to position correctly, but stops their mess travelling too far.
hope this helps somebody, it helped me.

When my younger brother was a week or so old, he was borrowed by the midwife in hospital to demonstrate "how to bath a baby" to the first-time mothers. Cue, according to my mother, the most enormous baby poo she'd ever seen, coating the bath, the midwife and an impressive area around them while the first-timers looked on aghast or possibly sniggering ...

I was doing a 3am change of DS when he was tiny, he lifted up his legs and deftly caught the nappy between his ankles and hoiked it out from under his bum - twice.

Warning: the following is pretty horrendous but I've never told anyone and reading this thread it will possibly be the only time I will confess...it may also serve as a contraceptive for anyone vaguely thinking of having another.......

I was bleeding heavily for a while after dd's birth and woke up in the morning to realise I had stained the sheets. I was so upset with myself and with hormones kicking in and incredibly sore boobs, I went to have a good cry in the shower (the type over the bath). After a good blub I was wiping my eyes and nose then heard dd crying. That new born baby cry set off both boobs with milk shooting out like water pistols. I was shouting at dh to wake up and get the baby as I obviously was in no state to get out the bath. He ran to dd then there was lots of commotion and I worked out she had done an explosive yellow poo all over the inside, back and front, of her babygrow. He ran in to the bathroom with naked yellow dd and handed her to me, whereupon my milk hit her in the eye and she started crying again. To stop her crying and to provide some relief to my boobs, I gave her a good feed whilst gently trying to wash off baby poo under the shower head. She guzzled quickly then did a little sick on my shoulder whilst I burped her. To finish it off she then weed down my still naked stomach.

I was so worried before I had her about poo germs, getting the umbilical stump wet, what organic baby bath wash I should use, what temperature the bath water should be etc etc and here I was washing us down with the nearest body wash I could reach and with a power shower.

Dh finally helped us out the shower and we all sat in silence shell shocked for a while!

- that image made me chuckle johnthedog - I've never known of so many bodily fluids all be present in unison

DS has got explosive diarrhoea.....I foresee a messy night!!

writer it has taken me over a decade, but dh and I have laughed over that story tonight. Come to think of it, between dd and myself, I think we 'covered' every bodily fluid!

Atbeckandcall · 08/05/2014 07:51

When my dd was a baby she had horrendous relux. I had fed her one evening in the lounge just before bedtime then propped her upright so she could just sit and digest for a while (she was about 11 months old). My poor unsuspecting dog walked past at the wrong time. She ended up covered from nose to tail in 7ozs of regurgitated milk. Poor pooch leapt 6 foot in the air because she so startled then started shaking and whining. Each and every one of us for a bath that night!

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 08/05/2014 07:58

I must say that if young people got to see a calving at 12 as I did, there'd be a lot less squeamishness about.

Or that's what I thought until DD shat in my eyes.

Solasum · 08/05/2014 08:01

Fingers crossed it is a one off writer. DS starts every single morning with a poo explosion, preceded by loud babbling and grunts (dawn chorus). At 6.30 it is bearable, at 4.30 not so much. He will not go back to sleep after.
