lmaooo okay so I was changing my newborn's diaper yesterday (literally my second diaper change ever) and he decided to absolutely detonate. I'm talking up the back, onto my shirt, across the changing table. My wife was laughing so hard she was crying. Welcome to parenthood I guess?? Also why is newborn poop so... potent smelling?? Is that normal or is my kid's a special breed
The fact that you're laughing about it means you're gonna do just fine. Some new dads panic but you seem like you've got the right perspective.
Those blowouts that go all the way up to the back of the neck are the real initiation ceremony. Everything else after that feels manageable.
Wait until the ones where they poop WHILE you're changing them. I had one come at me like a fire hose last week. Now I have wet wipes and a towel standing by like I'm prepping for surgery.
Newborn phase is just so wild right? You go from zero diaper experience to casually handling biological explosions in like 48 hours.
Pro tip: never change a newborn without having supplies within arm's reach. Learned that one the hard way like you did apparently.

Honestly the poop explosions stop being shocking around the 10th one haha. Just wait, you have SO many diaper changes ahead of you.
