My 3 week old son had this explosive poop that went up his back and somehow into his hair. I called my wife at work like it was an emergency. She was laughing on the phone while I'm standing there covered in baby poop trying to figure out if I need to call a doctor. Apparently this is normal. Still traumatized though.
Welcome to parenthood my friend. First blowout is honestly a rite of passage. You survived it, your son is fine, and now you know you can handle literally anything this kid throws at you (pun intended).
Haha yeah those first ones get you. Three weeks in and you're still learning what 'normal' even is. Pro tip for next time: just strip everything off and throw it in a bag. Easier to deal with the damage one piece at a time.
Oh dude, welcome to the blowout club. Wait till it happens in the car seat or during a grocery run. You'll learn real quick what counts as an actual emergency.
Three weeks in and you're already learning what the real chaos looks like. It gets easier, I promise. Your wife probably laughed knowing you'd figure it out.
First blowout panic is totally normal man. I did the same thing when ours went sideways. The hair situation makes it worse, I get it. You got this though.

Been there man. I called my wife in a panic thinking something was seriously wrong. She just laughed at me. Turns out you survive a lot more of these than you'd expect. You're doing great.
