First poop blowout - did NOT see that coming lol

Nov 25·1 min read

6 days in and our little guy absolutely exploded out of his diaper. It was EVERYWHERE. Onesie, my shirt, the changing pad. How is this much poop even possible from something so small? My wife is laughing at me while I'm over here feeling like I failed at diaper-sizing. Do they all do this or did I just get unlucky?

Welcome to the club lol. That's not a diaper-sizing failure, that's just babies being chaos gremlins. Happened to us at 3am once and I was convinced something was medically wrong.

Every single one of them without fail. My son somehow got poop on his ear once and I still don't understand the physics. Your wife laughing is the correct response.

The trick nobody tells you: size up one diaper size just for bedtime after like week 2. We were changing the crib sheet 2-3 times a night until we figured that out. Blowouts are brutal but temporary - you got this.

They ALL do this. Our pediatrician said it's basically their superpower. You didn't fail - your diaper choice was perfectly reasonable, babies are just designed to destroy things. Also congrats on not passing out, some dads do lmao
