My newborn exploded at Target. And I mean exploded. Up the back, down the legs, on my shirt. I was alone with him. Instead of panicking I just laughed the whole time cleaning it up in the bathroom. Felt like a real dad that day lol. The young parents were looking at me like I had it all figured out.
Haha welcome to fatherhood my friend. That's the move right there, just laughing through it instead of losing your mind. You're gonna be just fine.
That's the right attitude man. First time dad here too and those moments are definitely happening. Glad you kept your cool and didn't let it rattle you.
Oh man the Target blowout. We had one at the grocery store and I just stood there for a second trying to figure out what the best move was. Did you have a change of clothes in the car or were you improvising with paper towels?
The diaper bag always packed thing is real. I keep a spare outfit for him, wipes, diapers, the whole nine yards. Would've saved you that day my friend.
This is initiation into fatherhood right here. The fact that you handled it and didn't completely lose it means you're already ahead of the game. Wait til you got a few more of these under your belt.

Laughing about it is the only way to handle those situations. Your newborn is lucky to have a dad who stays calm when things literally explode.
