Why do they always happen when we're exhausted? Had to change the sheets, his outfit, and the mattress protector at 2 in the morning. Is this normal or are we doing something wrong with diaper size? He's 6 weeks and wearing size 1.
Totally normal man. Happened to us constantly in those early months. The 2am timing isn't a coincidence either, just how it goes when you're running on fumes.
Three kids in, I can tell you this never really stops happening, but you get faster at cleaning it up. Hang in there, it gets easier.
They literally wait until you're dead asleep to do it. It's like they have a sensor. The upside is you'll eventually laugh about how ridiculous these moments are.
Oh man 2am blowouts are the worst. Pro tip: keep extra sheets and mattress protectors on the crib so you can swap them out super quick without fully waking up. Game changer for my sanity.
This is why I invested in a mattress protector on day one. Changed my life during those first months.

Oh yeah, we've been there. Pro tip: keep extra sheets and a mattress protector right by the crib so you're not hunting around at 2am. Makes the whole thing slightly less awful.
