The most disgusting thing just happened

Was changing my toddler who'd done a poo in her pull up. Always find pull ups trickier to change than nappies. Just as I was about to take it off she kicked her leg and the whole poo flicked into her face! It was genuinely disgusting but after we'd cleaned her up and got over the trauma I started to really worry that it may have gotten into her mouth or eyes and may cause problems. She's been properly washed but I'm worried about pinkeye or other bacteria!!!

Why are toddlers so gross 🤢

(Edit not a poo troll, MN can verify)

For future changes, rip the pull up sides open instead of pulling down like pants. She'll be fine.

Wth. You did rip the sides of the pull ups yes?

It's her own poo and 'fresh' so I don't think it will be carrying any diseases unless she already had them so I think she'll be fine. (Not a doctor)

I did on one side but the other wouldn't rip so I made a grave error of judgement and thought I'd just be able to pull it off. I will never do it again.

Yeah I don't think you will either. Learning curve. Welcome to parenthood.

Trust me, more disgusting things will happen. Wait until you get a load of her poo on your own face!

😄😄 when dd was a baby, i held her above my face as I lay down, playing with her

She vomited into my mouth and all over my face 😄😄

Lesson learned, op, i wouldn't worry, kids are parent proof xx

Mine reached down as a baby and put a handful of poo in her mouth...all fine apparently as long as it's their own. It didn't stop her from trying to do it again...

It'll be ok. Trust me you are in for plenty of disgusting moment's as a parent. Some day you'll look back at this and laugh.

Sorry but try and see the funny side. This will be such a story to tell her one day. You kicked your own poo into your face like a rugby ball 🤣🤣🤣 at least she kicked it into her own face and not yours
